“…The frequency of the rs8177374 T (Ser180Leu) variant was significantly higher in the Chukchi sample (p = 0, χ2 = 63.22) relative to the East Asian populations. This result may confirm the hypothesis about the selection of this allele in the course of human migration into areas with unfavorable climatic conditions.…”

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. …”

Nonlinear exposure-response associations of daytime, nighttime, and day-night compound heatwaves with mortality amid climate change by Jiangdong Liu, Ho Kim, Masahiro Hashizume, Whanhee Lee, Yasushi Honda, Satbyul Estella Kim, Cheng He, Haidong Kan, Renjie Chen

“…Here we conduct a multi-country study across 28 East Asian cities that employed the Cumulative Excess Heatwave Index (CEHWI), which represents excess heat accumulation during heatwaves, to explore the potentially nonlinear associations of daytime-only, nighttime-only, and day-night compound heatwaves with mortality from 1981 to 2010. …”

Spatiotemporal Changes of Extreme Precipitation and Its Teleconnection Analysis with Climate Circulation Indices in Three Gorges Reservoir Area in Recent 60 Years by ZENG Huiqi, TENG Shunlin, SHAO Meng, ZHANG Lu, WANG Yuefeng

“…Analyzing the correlation between large-scale climate circulation and extreme precipitation is of great significance for regional flood and drought warnings and extreme weather management.Previous studies have well revealed the influence of a single climate circulation index,while the influence characteristics of multiple climate circulation indices are still unclear.According to the daily precipitation in 21 meteorological stations in Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA) from 1960 to 2019,eight extreme precipitation indices (CDD,CWD,R10,R20,Rx1d,Rx5d,R95p,and R99p) were constructed in terms of precipitation duration and absoluteness,and Mann-Kendall (M-K) trend test,Spearman correlation analysis,and multiple linear regression (MLR) were used to analyze the spatiotemporal changes during extreme precipitation in the TGRA.Then the correlation between extreme precipitation and climate circulation was revealed in terms of single and multiple factors.The results showed that:①The R10,R20,Rx1d,Rx5d,R95p,and R99p in the TGRA spatially decreased from northwest to southeast from 1960 to 2019,which was similar to the spatial trend of multi-year average precipitation;②the CWD,CDD,R10,and Rx5d generally decreased,while R20,Rx1d,R95p,and R99p increased.The duration of continuous precipitation events in the TGRA shortened,but the frequency and intensity of short-term strong precipitation events increased;③in terms of teleconnection analysis of extreme precipitation and climate circulation index,the multiple factor regression analysis could better explain the extreme precipitation index than the single factor regression analysis.Specifically,the combination of the East Asian Summer Monsoon Index (EASMI) and the South Asian Summer Monsoon Index (SASMI) had the best performance in explaining the extreme precipitation index.This study can provide a scientific basis for coping with extreme climate change and weather disaster prediction and warning in the TGRA.…”

Research on Spatial-temporal Variation Characteristics and In fluencing Factors of Annual Maximum Daily Temperature in the Pearl River Basin under the Background of Global Warming by QIN Beilei, WU Xiaoqing, ZHU Tianran, LAI Chengguang

“…The results show that:①The annual maximum daily temperature in the PRB showed a significant upward trend, with a significant abrupt change around 2002, a variation period of 4.8 year and oscillation period of 2.0~5.8 years; ②The extreme high temperature of the basin showed an increasing trend from the west to the east, with significant increase in the east PRB; ③Four atmospheric circulation indexes, i.e., the Pacific polar vortex intensity index, the western Pacific subtropical high intensity index, the Asian polar vortex intensity index, and the northern hemisphere polar vortex area index had important driving effect on the extreme high temperature in PRB, while the Asian zonal circulation index and the northern hemisphere subtropical high northern boundary position index presented the lowest relative contribution rate.…”

Recent changes in ENSO’s impacts on the summertime circumglobal teleconnection and mid-latitude extremes by Shankai Tang, Shaobo Qiao, Bin Wang, Fei Liu, Xian Zhu, Taichen Feng, Guolin Feng, Wenjie Dong

“…Abstract The boreal summer circumglobal teleconnection (CGT) provides a primary predictability source for mid-latitude Northern Hemisphere climate anomalies and extreme events. Here, we show that the CGT’s circulation structure has been displaced westward by half a wavelength since the late 1970s, more severely impacting heatwaves and droughts over East Europe, East Asia, and southwestern North America. …”
