Open AccessDecomposition of physical processes controlling EASM precipitation changes during the mid-Piacenzian: new insights into data–model integration
The mid-Piacenzian warm period (MPWP, ~3.264–3.025 Ma) has gained widespread interest due to its partial analogy with future climate. However, quantitative data–model comparison of East Asian Summer Monsoon (E...

Open AccessPDO influenced interdecadal summer precipitation change over East China in mid-18th century
There have been few case studies of the relationship between the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and the East Asian climate before the pre-industrial era with limited anthropogenic impacts. Using the CESM La...

Open AccessThe emergence of modern zoogeographic regions in Asia examined through climate–dental trait association patterns
The complex and contrasted distribution of terrestrial biota in Asia has been linked to active tectonics and dramatic climatic changes during the Neogene. However, the timings of the emergence of these distrib...

Open AccessAnthropogenic forcing and Pacific internal variability-determined decadal increase in summer precipitation over the Asian water tower
The increased precipitation in the Asian water tower has prompted the abrupt lake expansion and increased runoff, significantly reshaping the water resource redistribution in the Inner Tibetan Plateau (ITP). H...

Atmospheric and oceanic circulation altered by global mean sea-level rise
Over recent decades, the rate of global mean sea-level rise has increased, although the magnitude—tens of centimetres—remains small from a geological perspective. Such a modest rise in sea level presents a cha...

Mid-Pliocene El Niño/Southern Oscillation suppressed by Pacific intertropical convergence zone shift
The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the dominant driver of year-to-year climate variability in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, impacts climate pattern across the globe. However, the response of the ENSO sys...

Open AccessWhen medical trainees encountering a performance difficulty: evidence from pupillary responses
Medical trainees are required to learn many procedures following instructions to improve their skills. This study aims to investigate the pupillary response of trainees when they encounter moment of performanc...

Open AccessPast terrestrial hydroclimate sensitivity controlled by Earth system feedbacks
Despite tectonic conditions and atmospheric CO2 levels (pCO2) similar to those of present-day, geological reconstructions from the mid-Pliocene (3.3-3.0 Ma) document high lake levels in the Sahel and mesic condit...

Complex network of synchronous climate events in East Asian tree-ring data
With high temporal resolution and accurate age control, tree-ring width is a good proxy for recording past climate variations from interannual to centennial time scales. The complex network method, widely used...

Open AccessDrier tropical and subtropical Southern Hemisphere in the mid-Pliocene Warm Period
Thermodynamic arguments imply that global mean rainfall increases in a warmer atmosphere; however, dynamical effects may result in more significant diversity of regional precipitation change. Here we investiga...

Modeling the late Pliocene global monsoon response to individual boundary conditions
The late Pliocene is a pre-Quaternary warming period compared to the preindustrial period. Here, based on the updated PRISM4 (Pliocene Research, Interpretation and Synoptic Mapping version 4) boundary conditio...

Reconstructing early Eocene (∼55 Ma) paleogeographic boundary conditions for use in paleoclimate modelling
The early Eocene is a period with very high atmospheric CO2 levels, which receives many interests from climate modelling aspects. To simulate the early Eocene paleoclimate, a realistic reconstruction for land-sea...

Open AccessEvolution of tropical cyclone genesis regions during the Cenozoic era
How the substantial climate shifts of the Cenozoic era shaped the geographical distribution of tropical cyclone genesis remains unknown. Through a set of coupled model simulations, we demonstrate that conditio...

Open AccessAtlantic deep water circulation during the last interglacial
Understanding how the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) evolved during crucial past geological periods is important in order to decipher the interplay between ocean dynamics and global climate...

Divergent responses of tropical cyclone genesis factors to strong volcanic eruptions at different latitudes
To understand the behaviors of tropical cyclones (TCs), it is very important to explore how TCs respond to anthropogenic greenhouse gases and natural forcings. Volcanic eruptions are a major natural forcing me...

Variations in large-scale tropical cyclone genesis factors over the western North Pacific in the PMIP3 last millennium simulations
Investigation of past tropical cyclone (TC) activity in the Western North Pacific (WNP) is potentially helpful to enable better understanding of future TC behaviors. In this study, we examine variations in lar...
