Our new paper just got published in #PNAS. We show that the surface-atmosphere system acts like a giant heat-engine which works as hard as it can. So what does this imply for land-atmosphere interactions?

🇬🇧 Why do the extreme precipitation observed in warm regions often not match theoretical expectations?
🇩🇪 Warum stimmen die beobachteten extremen Niederschläge in warmen Regionen oft nicht mit den theoretischen Erwartungen überein?

📢Join us for a webinar "Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD): A driver or response of land-atmosphere exchange?" by Prof. @S_ghausi
🗓️ Thursday, August 14, 2025 (11-12 PM IST).
Looking forward to your active participation!🙌
@kss_iitk hosted Prof. Ram Ramaswamy from @Princeton for the Swastibhavatu Lecture Series on Understanding and Predictions of Climate Extremes for Sustainability at @IITKanpur. He spoke on observed imbalances in the Earth's energy system caused by #GHG emissions and #aerosols.🌍
Attending #EGU25? Don’t miss the session on @kss_iitk to know about exciting opportunities and collaborations at India’s new School of Sustainability! I’ll also be giving a talk on Temperature Variability and Extremes on Monday. Looking forward to connecting
@marpita567@zharoshan Super interesting! Congratulations. We looked into the different global drivers of heatwaves and found that this region actually experiences all the four types. In case it's of interest: https://t.co/G9l5EmzVhX
Thank you @Bhupendra_BBS for your kind hosting. It was very enlightening to interact with researchers at IITM and a fascinating visit to the COSMOS site.
Reminder: Don’t miss applying to the Indo-German workshop on "The Second Law in Earth System Science". Looking forward to being there with @akleidon@tejasvichauhan and @Ank_iitR.
Indo-German School on "The Second Law in Earth System Science" from 3rd to 7th March 2025 at @hydrology_IITR
jointly organized by @MPI_BGC Germany and @iitroorkee

Our new paper is out in @NatureComms. We show that observed variations in extreme precipitation-temperature sensitivities across continents can be explained by differences in cloud radiative effects. Read more here: https://t.co/cMGkhxBpBZ
New paper: The Second Law of #Thermodynamics, #Life and #Earth‘s Planetary Machinery Revisited. #Entropy and the second law of thermodynamics must apply to life and the Earth system as well, but how, and what can we learn from it? Check out our blog https://t.co/Tyst42khvO
How do heatwaves differ in their mechanisms, and how do their impacts on ecosystems vary? @yinglin_tian addresses this in a new paper in @CommsEarth. Happy to have been part of this work alongside @akleidon@ZscheischlerJak@zhou_sha@xiangzLuo and others.
