Reduced aerosols and intensified summertime rainfall in India during the pandemic suggest potentially more amplified precipitation in the future by Fan Wang, Meng Gao

“…Future projections under the lower aerosol emission scenario indicate an additional enhancement in monsoon precipitation in India. Our findings highlight the complex interplay between aerosol emissions and hydrometeorological dynamics, with implications for understanding future precipitation changes and providing theoretical reference for water resource management.…”

Impacts of Sea Surface Temperature and Atmospheric Teleconnection Patterns in the Northern Mid-Latitudes on Winter Extremely Cold Events in North China by Liping Li, Wenjie Ni, Yige Li, Dong Guo, Hui Gao

“…With the weaker East Asia subtropical jet and stronger East Asia winter monsoon, these factors lead to a significant increase of SSECE frequency in North China. (3) When the SSTA shows an “El Niño-like” developing pattern from summer to autumn in the North Pacific, the winter SSECE frequency will be higher. (4) The purported mechanism between the mid-latitude SSTA and the winter SSECE frequency in North China is the following: the SSTA in the North Pacific in summer and autumn excites atmospheric teleconnection wave trains, and the Atlantic stores these anomaly signals. …”

Climatic Background and Prediction of Boreal Winter PM2.5 Concentrations in Hubei Province, China by Yuanyue Huang, Zijun Tang, Zhengxuan Yuan, Qianqian Zhang

“…The key findings are as follows: (1) Elevated DJF-HBPMC levels are associated with an upper-tropospheric northerly anomaly, a deepened southern branch trough (SBT) that facilitates southwesterly flow into central and eastern China, and a weakened East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM), which reduces the frequency and intensity of cold air intrusions. …”

Seasonal variation of air quality index and assessment by S.D. Kumar, A. Dash

“…It has been revealed from the study that the air quality status of the area has been declining from 2013 to 2016 i.e. 78.9 to 157.8 in summer, 49.4 to 84.3 in monsoon and 86.9 to 183.9 in winter season. It has also been found that, PM₁₀ and PM_2.5were responsible for maximum sub-index as well as air quality index. …”
