Theory and evidence indicate that trees and other vegetation influence the atmospheric
water-cycle in various ways. These influences are more important, more complex, and more …

The epoch of the Anthropocene, a period during which human activity has been the
dominant influence on climate and the environment, has witnessed a decline in oxygen …

Abstract The Maritime Continent (MC), located in the heart of the Indo-Pacific warm pool,
plays an important role in the global climate. However, the future MC climate is largely …

The effects of bio-optical feedback through chlorophyll on future tropical cyclone (TC) activity
are not well understood. Here we use Earth system model simulations with the …

Abstract Changes in the sea surface temperature (SST) pattern in the tropical Pacific
modulate radiative feedbacks to greenhouse gas forcing, the pace of global warming and …

Characterizing variability in the global water cycle is fundamental to predicting impacts of
future climate change; understanding the role of the Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) in the …

A high rate of deforestation has occurred in the Maritime Continent (MC) during recent
decades due to the rapid growth of the local economy. MC deforestation is known to have a …

Abstract The Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) is one of the major atmospheric circulations
that plays an essential role in ocean-atmosphere interactions and global climate. The …

The estimation of the night-time cloud fraction (CF) is found to be one of the key parameters
for evaluating the number of useful nights at an astronomical site. This work evaluates useful …

A growing number of scientists are expressing concerns about the inadequacy of climate
change policies. Fewer are questionning the dominant climate modelling paradigm and the …
