Steinmeier visits China's 325-meter meteorological observation tower
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier visited the Institute of Atmospheric Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences on October 29, exploring opportunities for further China-Germany cooperation on climate change research.
The institute's 325-meter meteorological observation tower is a flagship research platform in China for studying the atmospheric boundary layer and urban environments. As China and Germany have a long history of collaboration on climate research, the visit offered an opportunity to explore how the two sides can continue working together to address climate challenges. #diplomacy
FY-3G’s spaceborne radar agrees closely with China’s ground-based weather radars. This study reports a 0.87 correlation across 98,226 matched samples.

Why did Antarctic sea ice hit a record low in February 2023? La Niña, a positive Southern Annular Mode and a negative Indian Ocean Dipole, together with low spring sea ice, helped set the stage.

ALT Figure 2 from Dou and Zhang (2025), Advances in Atmospheric Sciences. Top: composite Antarctic sea-ice concentration anomalies from austral spring (SON) to February for four positive-SAM/negative-IOD/La Niña events: 1998/99, 2010/11, 2021/22 and 2022/23. Blue shades indicate less ice and yellow-red shades indicate more ice. Bottom: years ranked from highest to lowest February sea-ice extent, compared with SAM, Niño-4 and IOD indices in the preceding season. Source: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00376-025-4309-9
Warmer world, bigger CO2 punch? Not quite. This research shows CO2’s heating effect grows 42% at first, but the atmosphere’s own adjustments cut that to 17%.

Air models keep underestimating sulfate pollution. Why? Missing dust and haze chemistry. Adding them to GEOS-Chem cut the bias from 63% to under 1% in a dust event.

How can a classic ENSO model simulate El Niño better? This study refines the Zebiak–Cane model's heating scheme and tests how key atmospheric parameters shape ENSO amplitude, period and diversity.

Is typhoon risk moving north? 🌀 Using 1980–2025 records, new research shows tropical cyclone landfalls in East Asia are declining south of 20°N but rising north of 30°N — and storms now reach land ~1 day faster.

Clouds look calm from outside. Inside, aerosols quietly rewrite droplet size and cloud water. A tethered balloon gave scientists a rare front row seat over the Tibetan Plateau.

Ever wondered why cloud droplets come in two sizes? Mixing in drier air can create a second mode and boost droplet spread. The new model cuts error by up to 33%.

How high can desert dust climb? Balloon soundings from Golmud give the first in situ look at dust reaching the tropopause over the northern Tibetan Plateau. Dust aloft traced to the Thar Desert; lower dust came from the Taklamakan. doi.org/10.1007/s00376-026-5… @EurekAlert @theIAMAS
How far can wildfire smoke travel? Analysis of the March 2025 wildfires in South Korea found elevated PM2.5 across parts of Japan, showing how extreme fires can rapidly affect air quality beyond the country where they begin.
