Warming-induced hydrothermal anomaly over the Earth's three Poles amplifies concurrent extremes in 2022

J. Zhang, H. Chen, et al.

Discover how record-breaking heatwaves and precipitation extremes in 2022 are intricately connected to the warming and ice/snow melting across the Earth's three Poles. Conducted by Jie Zhang, Haishan Chen, Xinyu Fang, Zhicong Yin, and Rui Hu, this research offers critical insights into climate predictions and disaster prevention.

Abstract
The study investigates the concurrent record-breaking heatwaves and precipitation extremes in 2022, linking them to warming and ice/snow melting in the Earth's three Poles (Arctic, Antarctic, and Tibetan Plateau). The warming amplified Rossby waves and shifted westerly jet streams, intensifying heatwaves in mid-high latitudes and extreme precipitation in Asia. The study highlights the significant role of three Poles warming in driving amplified concurrent extremes, offering valuable insights for global climate predictions and disaster prevention.
