Counterintuitively, mixing of dry air into convecting plumes amplifies moist heat extremes. This "entrainment" effect strengthens as climate warms and dries, increasing human heat stress. Details in our new paper, led by @roshanjha.bsky.social: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Glacial collapse is more likely because of climate change. Glaciers are particularly vulnerable due to rapid warming in mountainous regions. This "elevation dependent warming" is caused by sfc albedo and Planck feedbacks (info: wcd.copernicus.org/articles/5/7...) www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c6...

Nepal-Tibet: More than 350 killed in Nepal as rising lake raises fear of new flood - follow live

The US Geological Survey says "glacial collapse" triggered the wall of water and mud that tore through Nepal and Tibet. Hundreds of people are still missing.

The mixing of dry air into rising plumes of warm, moist air helps explain why extremely hot and humid days are increasing in higher-latitude regions. eos.org/research-spo...

How Rising Air Plumes Help Spike Moist Heat - Eos

When dry air mixes with warm, moist air carried aloft by currents from the surface, it can contribute to rising wet-bulb temperatures near Earth’s surface.

Destruction of this scale may be the first time, but it is definitely not the last. Countries which emit the least bear the most.
