Abstract The global physical and biogeochemical environment has been substantially altered in response to increased atmospheric greenhouse gases from human activities. In 2023, the sea surface temperature (SST) upper 2000 m ocean heat content (OHC) reached record highs. 0–2000 OHC 2023 exceeded that of 2022 by 15 ± 10 ZJ (1 Zetta Joules = 21 Joules) (updated IAP/CAS data); 9 5 (NCEI/NOAA data).

In 2023, the global mean temperature soared to almost 1.5K above pre-industrial level, surpassing previous record by about 0.17K. Previous best-guess estimates of known drivers including anthropogenic warming and El Niño onset fall short 0.2K in explaining rise. Utilizing satellite reanalysis data, we identify a record-low planetary albedo as primary factor bridging this gap. The decline is apparently caused largely reduced low-cloud cover northern mid-latitudes tropics, continuation multi-annual trend. Further exploring trend understanding how much it due internal variability, aerosol concentrations, or possibly emerging feedback will be crucial for assessing current expected future warming.

Globally, 2023 was the warmest observed year on record since at least 1850 and, according to proxy evidence, possibly of past 100 000 years. As in recent years, warmth has again been accompanied with yet more extreme weather and climate events throughout world. Here, we provide an overview those 2023, details key background causes help build upon our understanding roles internal variability anthropogenic change. We also highlight emerging features associated some these events.

Abstract. Global-mean surface temperature rapidly increased 0.29 ± 0.04 K from 2022 to 2023. Such a large interannual global warming spike is not unprecedented in the observational record, with previous instance occurring 1976–1977. However, why such spikes occur unknown, and rapid of 2023 has led concerns that it could have been externally driven. Here we show climate models are subject only internal variability can generate spikes, but they an uncommon occurrence (p = 1.6 % 0.1 %). when prolonged La Niña immediately precedes El Niño simulations, as occurred nature 1976–1977 2022–2023, become much more common 10.3 0.4 Furthermore, find nearly all simulated 88.5 0.3 %) associated year.

A typical El Niño event often results in suppressed tropical cyclone (TC) genesis frequency (TCGF) over the North Atlantic (NA) and a distinct northwest-southeast dipole pattern TCGF anomaly western Pacific (WNP). The 2023 saw strong but surprisingly active NA WNP TC activities. Here, we present that these unprecedented deviations were driven by record-warm NA, record-breaking negative phase of Meridional Mode (PMM), background global warming. Results from high-resolution model experiments demonstrate extraordinary warming dominated increased contributed equally with PMM to TCGF, overshadowing Niño's impact. Global also observed anomalies.

Wildfires burned an estimated 2.2 million hectares in Alberta 2023. We describe key attributes of the fires relative to historical and fire seasons offer a perspective on potentially influential factors. Thirty-six large ≥10 000 ha generated 95% annual area burned. Individually, these exhibited sizes, weather, behaviour consistent with fires; there were simply far more them Thirteen reported early May ignited by lightning reached final sizes ha, revealing previously unrecognized threat. Historically, lightning-ignited before mid-May occur just once per decade average. Collectively, 18 coincided drier conditions compared after mid-May. Early weather was also warmer than weather. The group temporally concentrated outbreak west-central extreme potential rate spread.

Together, 2023 multi-modal pattern amplified above anything recorded. Potential contributing factors include climate warming, hemispheric teleconnections, phenology exhaustion suppression resources.

Coral reefs are increasingly threatened by mass bleaching events due to global ocean warming. Novel management strategies urgently needed support coral survival until efforts can mitigate Given the strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties of molecular hydrogen, our study explores its potential alleviate negative effects heat stress on corals. We investigated ecophysiological responses two common hard corals ( Acropora sp. Pocillopora verruco sa) from Central Red Sea under ambient (26 °C) elevated seawater temperatures (32 °C), with without hydrogen addition ~ 150 µ M H 2 ) over 48 h. Our results showed that at 32 °C addition, P. verrucosa exhibited high temperature tolerance, whereas significant reductions in photosynthetic efficiency maximum electron transport rate compared condition °C). The increased 28%, maintaining it levels those 26 °C. In contrast, caused a decrease photophysiology both . This suggests short-term response holobiont is temperature-dependent, potentially benefiting stress, while impairing temperatures. findings therefore provide foundation for future long-term studies uncovering mechanisms behind informing development new enhance resilience
