Spectral condensation in a finite nonequilibrium atmospheric transition
Dan Zhao, Yongwen Zhang, Teng Liu +3
Order parameters are difficult to define in high-dimensional nonequilibrium systems that lack a Hamiltonian, a thermodynamic limit or an observed control coordinate. Here we show t…
Planetary climate interactions of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
Ziyan Wang, Teng Liu, Shang Wang +10
The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), Earth's "Third Pole", profoundly shapes the Asian monsoon and regional climate and exerts far-reaching influence on the global climate system. Ye…
A Regime Shift in Atlantic Surface Currents Reveals a Step-like Decline of the Meridional Overturning Circulation
Han Huang, Ningning Tao, Hongyu Wang +8
The Atlantic surface currents associated with the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) play a central role in regulating Earth's climate, yet their large scale dynami…
Decadal sink-source shifts of forest aboveground carbon since 1988
Zhen Qian, Sebastian Bathiany, Teng Liu +3
Forest ecosystems are vital to the global carbon cycle, yet their long-term aboveground carbon (AGC) dynamics remain uncertain. Here, we integrate multi-source satellite observatio…
Phase transition revealed by eigen microstate entropy
Teng Liu, Xuezhi Niu, Mingli Zhang +9
We introduce the eigen microstate entropy (), a novel metric of complexity derived from the probabilities of statistically independent eigen microstates. After estab…
The influence of data gaps and outliers on resilience indicators
Teng Liu, Andreas Morr, Sebastian Bathiany +5
The resilience, or stability, of major Earth system components is increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures, demanding reliable early warning signals for abrupt and irreve…
