Consistency between zonal mean stratospheric and total column ozone trends (2000–2024)

This study presents an updated assessment of stratospheric and total column ozone trends over the 2000–2024 period using six merged limb-profile datasets and six merged total ozone datasets. Long-term changes were quantified using a multiple linear regression framework that accou...

Contrasting Terrestrial Moisture Controls on Precipitation and Interannual Variability across the Southern and Northern Tibetan Plateau

The Tibetan Plateau (TP) plays a crucial role in the Asian hydrological cycle, yet the dominant moisture sources and their governing physical processes remain debated. Here, we employ the Eulerian water tracer technique embedded in Community Earth System Model version 1 (CESM1),...

Methane Emissions From Wildfires: Trends and Anomalies

Abstract Wildfires emit smoke particles and trace gases including greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, impacting the environment and leading to detrimental impacts on human health and economy. The estimation of spatially and temporally resolved methane emissions from biomass bur...
