TL;DR: This article used an observationally calibrated ice sheet-shelf model to show that with global warming limited to 2 degrees Celsius or less, Antarctic ice loss will continue at a pace similar to today's throughout the twenty-first century.

TL;DR: It is shown that short-lived greenhouse gases contribute to sea-level rise through thermal expansion (TSLR) over much longer time scales than their atmospheric lifetimes, which provides insights into physical processes: sea- level rise is often assumed to follow air temperature, but this assumption holds only for TSLR when temperatures are increasing.

TL;DR: An overview of the current state of understanding of the processes that cause regional sea-level change is provided and areas where the lack of understanding or gaps in knowledge inhibit the ability to provide the needed information for comprehensive planning efforts are identified.

TL;DR: In this paper, an abrupt drop in tropical tropopause layer (TTL) water vapor, similar to that observed in 2000, recently occurred in 2011, and was concurrent with reductions in TTL temperature and ozone.

TL;DR: In this article, the seasonal cycles of potential intensity of tropical cyclones in each main development region using reanalysis data from 1980 to 2013 were analyzed and the seasonal cycle of lower-stratospheric temperatures, which act to damp its seasonal variability and thereby permit powerful TCs any time during the year.
