Amending the algorithm of aerosol–radiation interactions in WRF-Chem (v4.4) by J. Feng, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, Q. Du, Z. Yang, C. Jin

“…However, in the current version, aerosol optical properties are only calculated in four shortwave bands, while only two of them are used to interpolate optical properties towards the 14 shortwave bands used in the Rapid Radiative Transfer Model for Global Climate Models (RRTMG) scheme. In this study, we use a “Resolved” algorithm to estimate aerosol radiative feedback in WRF-Chem, in which aerosol optical properties are calculated in all 14 shortwave bands. …”

Comparative Analysis of Multiple Hydrological Models in Assessing Climate Change Impacts on the Mille Watershed, Awash Basin, Ethiopia by Asmare Belay Nigussie, Mihiretie Ayana, Dessalegn Worku Ayalew, Gerawork Feleke, Asnake Enawgaw Amognehegn, Anteneh Yayeh Adamu, Andualem Endalew, Tewodrose Desale Meselaw, Shankar Karuppannan

“…Thus, this study aims to assess the impact of climate change on hydrology in the Mille River, Awash River Basin, Ethiopia, utilizing multiple hydrological and climate models. The study examines three global circulation models (MIROC-6, CMCC, and MRI) operating under two shared socioeconomic pathways emission scenarios (SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5) for both mid-term (near future) (2041–2070) and long-term (far future) (2071–2100) periods. …”

Last-millennium volcanic forcing and climate response using SO₂ emissions by L. R. Marshall, L. R. Marshall, L. R. Marshall, A. Schmidt, A. Schmidt, A. Schmidt, A. P. Schurer, N. L. Abraham, N. L. Abraham, L. J. Lücke, R. Wilson, K. J. Anchukaitis, G. C. Hegerl, B. Johnson, B. L. Otto-Bliesner, E. C. Brady, M. Khodri, K. Yoshida

“…The representation of volcanic forcing in the latest generation of climate models has improved significantly, but most models prescribe the aerosol optical properties rather than using <span class="inline-formula">SO₂</span> emissions directly and including interactions between the aerosol, chemistry, and dynamics. …”

Editorial by Jörg Tremmel, Edward Page, Konrad Ott

“…It is shown that the precautionary principle fails to adequately deal with uncertainties as they arise in climate modeling. Following a social constructivist approach, Delf Rothe (Helmut-Schmidt-University, Hamburg, Germany) shows how the interests of the actors in climate conferences have shifted between Rio 1992 and now. …”
