Our statistical survey indicates that interchange events occur over L (or M)-shells ∼6–26 at Jupiter with a peak occurrence rate at M ∼ 17

During interchange events, various types of plasma waves are intensified, each exhibiting a distinct preferential location

The duration and the corresponding spatial extent of interchange events are analyzed for multiple events

Dust causes a fraction of Arctic clouds to change phase, leading to summertime cooling over sea ice

This is the first observational study to constrain likely dust-related cloud radiative effects in this region

Changes to the cloud radiative effect (1.5 to 6.3 W m⁻²) may be underestimated here due to uncertainties in near-surface dust concentrations

Flow capacity exceedance events, predictors of blocking onset in the traffic jam theory, are defined and evaluated in climate reanalyses

A downstream reduction in flow capacity is ubiquitous for both exceedance and blocking events: lane closures favor traffic jams

Blocks are co-located with exceedance events in space but not in time, limiting the utility of the traffic jam theory for prediction

Deltas transition from avulsion-dominated with localized depocenters to more diffuse and alongshore-deflected wave-dominated depocenters

Bypass increases and trapping decreases abruptly when longshore transport (LST) at the river mouth equals river sediment transport (Q_s)

LST under large-scale blocking due to mouth bar and shoreface adjustment feeds wave-dominated updrift beach ridge plains (strandplains)

The relationship between the Northwest Pacific subtropical high (NWPSH) in May-June and July-August has significantly weakened after 2002

The reason for weakening relationship of NWPSH is that the persistent eastern ENSO has become a short-period central ENSO after 2002

Central ENSO will become Pacific Dipole mode in summer, which will weaken the influence of North Indian Ocean on NWPSH

Fire history is recorded by charcoal in bat guano

Bat guano can differentiate human-set fires from wildfires

Bat behavior governs seasonal lens of guano as fire recorder

Novel co-retrieval of SO₂ and sulfate aerosol from Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) used to study the dispersion of the Hunga plume over the entire year 2022

Rapid conversion of SO₂ (2 weeks e-folding time) and long-lasting sulfate aerosol observed

Larger SO₂ injected mass burden (>1.0 Tg) than previously thought and a large sulfate aerosol total burden (1.6 Tg) estimated
