Global Near-Surface Wind Speed Changes over the Last Decades Revealed by Reanalyses and CMIP6 Model Simulations

Kaiqiang Deng et al.

Summary: The study found that there have been significant changes in global NWS trends in recent years, with NH land NWS decreasing and SH ocean NWS increasing, but trends shifted during 2010-19, indicating the important role of factors such as atmospheric circulation, vegetation, land use, and greenhouse gases in NWS trends.

Projected changes in global terrestrial near-surface wind speed in 1.5 °C-4.0 °C global warming levels

Jinlin Zha et al.

Summary: This paper evaluates the contributions of different global warming levels to global terrestrial near-surface wind speed changes using a model. The results show that wind speed decreases over the Northern Hemisphere but increases over the Southern Hemisphere with stronger global warming. Changes in the temperature gradient induced by global warming and alterations in atmospheric circulation patterns may be the primary factors causing the asymmetry in wind speed changes between the hemispheres.

Slowdown and reversal of terrestrial near-surface wind speed and its future changes over eastern China

Jinlin Zha et al.

Summary: A recovery of near-surface wind speed in China in the last decade has been reported, but it is expected to only last for a short amount of time. The study found that large-scale ocean-atmosphere circulations have a significant impact on the long-term changes in wind speed, while the future trend of wind speed will mainly depend on the frequency of strong windy days.

Integration, Quality Assurance, and Usage of Global Aircraft Observations in CRA

Jie Liao et al.

Summary: This study presents the integration, quality assurance procedures, and usage of global aircraft observations for China's first generation global atmospheric reanalysis. A method called classified integration was developed to integrate aircraft observations from nine different sources, resulting in increased observation quantity and improved data quality. The IGMOAA data has been assimilated into China's atmospheric reanalysis product and is continuously updated in real-time.

Contributions of Local and Remote Atmospheric Moisture Fluxes to East China Precipitation Estimated from CRA-40 Reanalysis

Dan Zhao et al.

Summary: CRA-40 dataset matches observations better in winter and spring but exhibits a larger wet bias in summer compared to ERA-5. Remote moisture transport plays a dominant role in East China precipitation in both reanalyses. There is a significant difference in annual precipitation induced by moisture influx from the west between CRA-40 and ERA-5.

Xiaojing Yu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the Chinese CRA-40 reanalysis product has comparable performance with the ECMWF Reanalysis version 5 (ERA5) and NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) in depicting the characteristics of the Asian subtropical westerly jet (AWJ). The results show close agreement across the three reanalyses in terms of climatology, seasonal cycle, interannual timescale, and long-term variations of the AWJ.

Characteristics and causes of surface wind speed variations in Northwest China from 1979 to 2019

Jing Ge et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the surface wind speed in Northwest China underwent two-stage changes from 1979 to 2019, primarily influenced by the meridional temperature gradient. The decadal strengthening of the East Asian winter monsoon may have led to an increase in surface wind speed in Northwest China after 2000.

Estimating centennial-scale changes in global terrestrial near-surface wind speed based on CMIP6 GCMs

Cheng Shen et al.

Summary: The study revealed significant changes in global terrestrial wind speeds in recent years, with an increase from 1850 to 1967 and a decrease from 1968 to 2014. These changes were mainly influenced by the number of strong windy days, with external forcings playing a significant role in the global terrestrial stilling after the 1960s.

Terrestrial Near-Surface Wind Speed Variations in China: Research Progress and Prospects

Jinlin Zha et al.

Summary: This paper reviews recent advances in studies of changes in near-surface wind speed (NSWS) over China, highlighting a decrease over the past 40 years followed by a recovery in the recent decade. Improved understanding of the mechanisms driving NSWS changes are discussed, such as the influence of large-scale ocean-atmosphere circulations and land use changes. However, there is still a lack of research on multi-timescale variations in NSWS and the contributions of different forcing factors to these changes. Future investigations are needed to address key scientific issues regarding our understanding of NSWS changes.
