Development and Assessment of a High-Resolution Biogenic Emission Inventory from Urban Green Spaces in China

Mingchen Ma et al.

Summary: BVOC emissions from urban green spaces, known as U-BVOC emissions, have been largely ignored due to low-resolution land cover data. With a new high-resolution dataset, it is now possible to evaluate their significant role in urban environments, especially in megacities. The newly constructed U-BVOC emission inventory provides an improved dataset for studying the modulation of BVOCs on ozone, SOA, and atmospheric chemistry in urban areas.

Threat by marine heatwaves to adaptive large marine ecosystems in an eddy-resolving model

Xiuwen Guo et al.

Summary: This study using a high-resolution Earth system model reveals that future intensity and annual days of marine heatwaves (MHWs) over large marine ecosystems (LMEs) will remain higher than in the present-day climate. The better resolution of ocean mesoscale eddies enables more realistic simulations of MHWs compared to low-resolution models. These findings suggest that the increasing MHWs under global warming pose a serious threat to LMEs.

Uncertainties in solar radiation assessment in the United States using climate models

Liang Chen

Summary: Solar energy plays a crucial role in future climate change mitigation. This study reveals regional differences in the impact of climate change on surface solar radiation in the United States, with conflicting responses between GCMs and RCMs. The importance of aerosol effects in solar energy-related climate assessment is highlighted, emphasizing the necessity of considering aerosol forcing in regional climate downscaling.
