Climate researchers correct faulty rainfall predictions for China’s breadbasket
Climate models were not doing a good job of predicting how spring rainfall was changing over China’s northeast, the country’s breadbasket region, potentially threatening food security, even though these same models were working just fine elsewhere. Researchers have now found what was missing from their understanding.

Human activities increase likelihood of more extreme heatwaves, researchers find
Extreme heatwaves are likely to increase in frequency and severity, researchers report in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, largely due to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. The finding comes the day after the United Kingdom records its hottest ever temperature and a year after an unprecedented North American heatwave doubled average temperatures and resulted in nearly 1,500 deaths.

Record low Antarctic sea-ice extent since the satellite era
The fresh occurrence of a fresh sea-ice extent minimum in such a short period of time drove a group of researchers at Sun Yat-sen University and Southern Marine Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory (Zhuhai) in China set out to find out what had occurred and why.

Applying the Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology Climate Forecast System version 1.0 (NUIST-CFS1.0) to seasonal precipitation forecasts across East Africa
Striving to improve prediction skill and overall model capabilities, a research team analyzed the Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology Climate Forecast System version 1.0 (NUIST-CFS1.0). Forecasters can rely on this model to supplement summer seasonal precipitation forecasts throughout East Africa.
