Ocean thermal inertia sustains a tropical Pacific mean state shift under net zero

The tropical Pacific plays a pivotal role in global climate, and changes in its mean state and in the El Niño Southern Oscillation can substantially alter regional hydroclimates with major economic and societal impacts. Yet, its response to different emission pathways remains poorly constrained. Here we assess changes...

Intensification of East Asian summer extreme precipitation under a net-zero anthropogenic CO2 emission scenario

Global warming has intensified extreme precipitation, a trend projected to continue as warming persists. However, how extreme precipitation characteristics respond to global warming mitigation strategies remains poorly understood. This study examines East Asian summer extreme precipitation responses under a net-zero an...
