The emergence of a dipole-like mode in Arctic atmospheric circulation conducive to European heat waves by Doo Young Lee, Sang-Wook Yeh, Yong-Han Lee, Wenju Cai, Guojian Wang, Young-Min Yang

“…However, the impact of Arctic sea ice decline on changes in Arctic atmospheric circulation and its implications for mid-latitude summers remain unclear. Here we propose that the emergence of a dipole-like mode of Arctic atmospheric circulation, driven by the Arctic sea ice decline, is linked to the intensification of temperature rise and increased European heat waves. …”

Atlantic overturning inferred from air-sea heat fluxes indicates no decline since the 1960s by Jens Terhaar, Linus Vogt, Nicholas P. Foukal

“…Instead, we find that air-sea heat flux anomalies north of any given latitude in the North Atlantic between 26.5°N and 50°N are tightly linked to the AMOC anomaly at that latitude on decadal and centennial timescales. …”

Geographical prevalence and risk factors for pterygium: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Zhe Yuan, Lei Liu, Jingyang Wu, Desheng Huang, Jin Geng

“…We found a trend that the higher pooled prevalence of pterygium was associated with increasing geographical latitude and age in the world. The pooled OR was 2.32 (95% CI 1.66 to 3.23) for the male gender and 1.76 (95% CI 1.55 to 2.00) for outdoor activity, respectively.Conclusions The pooled prevalence of pterygium was relatively high, especially for low latitude regions and the elderly. …”
