Zhong et al. show that #TropicalCyclone #RainRates rise by over 20% in the 60 hours before landfall, driven by #Land–Sea thermal and friction contrasts, heightening #CoastalFlood risk. In addition, this enhancement has implications for #forecasting and #preparedness.

Guo et al. show that North Atlantic waters have been aging over the past three decades, indicating a slowdown in ocean ventilation likely driven by climate change. #OceanCirculation, #AMOC, #OceanDeoxygenation @haichaoguo.bsky.social @geomarkiel.bsky.social

New study by Hu et al. reveals #IndonesianThroughflow’s nonlinear response to #CO2, with a rapid decline after crossing a #TippingPoint. The first point may be approaching, signaling a potential climate #Tipping element with implications for global #climate.

Study shows that #Antarctic winter #phytoplankton production is experiencing an underestimated #acceleration based on the #spaceborne #LiDAR. This trend is linked to the declining #SeaIce, highlighting the #SouthernOcean's escalating role in the global #CarbonCycle.

Experiments in diverse #soils reveal an extremely low moisture threshold for H2-oxidizing microbes, near the dry limit for #microbial activity. This finding shifts the soil H2 sink distribution, underscoring the role of drylands in the global H2 cycle.

#Chemoautotrophic carbon fixation is vital for evaluating #permafrost carbon-climate feedback, but has been largely ignored. Here the authors find that dark #carbon fixation predominates ~1/3 of the investigated #thermokarst lakes on the #Tibetan Plateau.

The large uncertainty in land carbon-cycle estimates remains a major challenge. Here, the authors show that vegetation biogeography drives much of this uncertainty, with 75% of the uncertainty reducible using existing biogeography map from remote sensing.

Carbonate parameters in regions with low oxygen and high natural #CO2 are sensitive to added CO2 but do not always suffer anthropogenic ocean #acidification; outcomes depend on the combined action of available anthropogenic CO2 and buffering.

New study by Dong et al. shows that #bubble-mediated #CO2 transfer favors invasion based on field evidence. They introduce an asymmetric #BulkFlux equation, suggesting that the global #ocean may absorb ~15% more #CO2 than previously estimated.

Using satellite ocean-color data, this study reveals a 20-year decline in #plankton biomass in a major nitrogen-fixation hotspot, suggesting reduced #nitrogen inputs and potential implications for global biogeochemical cycles and #climate regulation.

Field data reveal that #thaw slumps on the #Tibetan Plateau initially turn alpine #grasslands from CO2 sinks into sources by exposing bare ground; as slumps stabilize and vegetation returns, #CO2 exchange recovers toward a sink.
