Restoring nature is key to a more resilient future At COP17 and COP31, governments must accelerate positive tipping points in energy, food and finance. Nature is humanity’s life-support system, but it is being depleted at an alarming rate, leaving our world increasingly vulnerable. From deadly heatwaves and raging wildfires to catastrophic floods and prolonged droughts, the effects of environmental change have been impossible to ignore this year.

Physical Processes Driving Year-to-Year Surface Temperature Variability Changes in a Warming Climate

arXiv:2610.19389v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Under anthropogenic greenhouse forcing, climate models project a decrease in year-to-year temperature variability in the mid-to-high latitudes and an increase in the tropics and subtropics. Here, we examine year-to-year temperature variability in the CESM Large Ensemble in concert with an idealized stochastic moist energy balance model (SMEBM) with effective surface heat capacity and local feedback parameter specified based on CESM.

Standardized Planck-Mean Absorption Coefficients for High-Temperature Gases

arXiv:2610.19196v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Planck-mean absorption coefficients of pure gases are calculated from line-by-line integrations of HITEMP and ExoMol spectra up to 5000 K for use in high-enthalpy radiative heat transfer simulations. The dataset extends beyond conventional combustion products, including high-temperature radicals, nitrogen-bearing species, soot precursors, metal oxides, metal hydrides, and halides: AlF, AlH, AlO, BH, C2, C2H2, CH, CH4, CN, CO, CO2, H2O, HBO,...
