Tropical cyclones facilitate recovery of forest leaf area from dry spells in East Asia

The view that tropical cyclones disturb forests by breaking and uprooting trees is widely supported by studies focusing on the effects of a few exceptionally strong cyclones. Such a viewpoint may however limit our unders...

How Global Warming Affects Taiwan’s Air Quality in Autumn and Winter

[How Does Climate Change Affect Air Quality in Taiwan?] As global warming intensifies, Taiwan's air quality is significantly impacted, particularly in terms of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone pollution. Ai...

Remote tropical central Pacific influence on driving sea surface temperature variability in the Northeast Pacific

In the North Pacific, the variations of the sea surface temperature (SST) are closely related to the atmospheric activities. The interactions between the SST and the atmosphere are widely explained by the theoretical mec...

Ocean circulation links the climate changes in the North Atlantic and Asia low latitudes

The Heinrich Event (HE), a millennial-scale cold event in the North Atlantic, is characterized by the occurrence of a large amount of coarse terrigenous grains in marine sediments. There are 7 HEs in the past 70 thousand...

Simulation of the Impact of Environmental Disturbances on Forest Biomass in Taiwan

Forest biomass is one of the main carbon pools found in terrestrial ecosystems. Its storage capacity is, however, vulnerable to climate change and anthropogenic and natural disturbances. In this study, simulation experim...

Water Isotope Fractionation in a Frontal System

Exploring physical processes controlling the stable isotopic composition of water, including details such as water vapor source, atmospheric circulation, and cloud microphysical processes, is useful for understanding the...

Reconstructing Taiwan’s Land Cover Change

Do you know the effects of Taiwan’s land cover changes on the climate change in Taiwan in the past ? First of all, you may need to reconstruct the historical land cover information from multi-data sources, such as ...

Typhoon’s Impact on Climate: Oh No! I Shrink the Subtropical High!

Typhoon is the most severe weather system in the Western North Pacific. It brings natural disaster but also abundant water resources to Taiwan. Traditional wisdom tells us the dominant influences of large-scale atmospher...

Does Cloud Microphysics Matter for Simulating Convective Clouds in GCMs?

Cloud microphysical processes in convective clouds are often ignored or parameterized in a relatively crude way, e.g., via assuming a constant for converting cloud water to precipitation universally in GCMs. A two-moment...

Obliquity-driven Changes in East Asian Seasonality

Obliquity, as a factor controlling seasonality, has been considered a modulator of paleomonsoon evolution. However, in contrast to the clearly identified contribution of precession, East Asian proxy records rarely provide ...
