Aerosols have significant and complex impacts on regional climate in East Asia. Cloud‐
aerosol‐precipitation interactions (CAPI) remain most challenging in climate studies. The …

The Holocene evolution of moisture conditions in the arid Xinjiang region in inland NW
China is increasingly debated. Analysis of climatic reconstructions from lake sediments …

Central Asia faces an increasing challenge related to water resources arising from severe
droughts and floods that have impacted the region in the past decades. Using a …

The local‐scale precipitation (LSP) is mainly driven by thermal convection. Here we reveal a
decreasing trend in the summertime LSP frequency over both China and the United States …

The strong signal of vegetation increases since the 1980s is considered as reliable
evidence of anthropogenic climate change. However, some studies have alerted us to the …

Abstract Knowledge of the interactions among atmospheric dynamics, dust emissions and
climate system is essential to understand the physical mechanisms for the dust lifecycle …

Abstract Glaciers in High Mountain Asia (HMA) provide an important water resource for
communities downstream, and they are markedly impacted by global warming, yet there is a …

The ratio of snowfall to total precipitation (S/P ratio) is an important metric that is widely used
to detect and monitor hydrologic responses to climate change over mountainous areas …

Different origins of loess deposits in northern and southern Central Asia are not only
associated with Central Asian topography, but also with aeolian dust dynamics. However …

The ecosystem and societal development in arid Central Asia are highly vulnerable to
climate change. During the past five decades, significant warming occurs in Central Asia, but …
