An even more intense “megadrought” hit the region around 1,800 years ago, according to a new study published in the AGU journal Geophysical Research Letters. The new study used tree-ring data and other climate records to identify a drought period unmatched in severity by the current drought or other ancient droughts.

A study by a team of researchers from China, the US and Germany suggests that future climate change may worsen air quality for more than 85% of China’s population, leading to an additional 20,000 deaths each year. Managing air quality in China in a changing climate will thus become more challenging. —Hong et al.

Two new studies in AGU’s journal Geophysical Research Letters find nitrogen dioxide pollution over northern China, Western Europe and the US decreased by as much as 60% in early 2020 as compared to the same time last year. In addition to nitrogen dioxide, one of the new studies finds PM 2.5 Grey areas indicate no valid data.

A new study by researchers from the UK’s Met Office Hadley Centre implicates aerosols as a prime driver of twentieth-century North Atlantic climate variability. Systematic climate shifts have been linked to multidecadal variability in observed sea surface temperatures in the North Atlantic Ocean. In the new study, Booth et al.
