Lakes, with their rich biodiversity and important ecological services, face a concerning trend: rapidly increasing temperatures. 

While, in theory, precipitation impacts the Earth’s radiation budget, the radiative effects of precipitation (REP) are poorly understood and excluded from most climate models. 

After heating up the eastern Pacific Ocean for about a year, El Niño finally died out in May 2024.

In a revelation highlighting the fragile balance of our planet's atmosphere, scientists from China, Germany, and the USA have uncovered an unexpected link between massive wildfire events and the chemistry of the ozone layer.
