Abstract. Effects of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on interannual variability in spring aerosols over East Asia are investigated using Modern Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications Version 2 (MERRA-2) reanalysis aerosol data. Results show that ENSO has a crucial effect mainland South Asia, southern China, ocean south Japan. The above-normal (below-normal) found these...

Abstract In the summer (July and August) of 2022, unprecedented heat wave occurred along Yangtze River Valley (YRV) over East Asia while flood western South (WSA), which are located on eastern sides Tibetan Plateau (TP). Here, by analyzing interannual variability based observational reanalysis data, we show evidences that anomalous zonal flow subtropical (TP) explains a major fraction extreme e...

Maintaining wheat productivity under the increasing temperatures in South Asia is a challenge. We focused on developing early maturing wheat lines as an adaptive mechanism in regions suffering from terminal heat stress and those areas that require wheat adapted to shorter cycles under continual high temperature stress. We evaluated the grain yield performance of early-maturing heat-tolerant ger...
