Article Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the relationships among tropical (Atlantic Meridional Mode - AMM), subtropical (South Atlantic Subtropical Gradient - SASG), and extratropical (Southern Annular Mode - SAM) teleconnection patterns, the Weddell Sea (WS) sea ice extents, and the climate in South America. Warm anomalies are observed in most of South America for maximum WS ice extent combinations (negative SAM/positive AMM and negative SAM/positive SASG composites), with an opposite signal at tropical South America for minimum WS ice extent combinations (positive SAM/negative AMM and positive SAM/negative SASG). Over Southern Argentina, colder (warmer) temperatures are seen at the negative SAM/positive SASG (positive SAM/negative SASG). Drier (wetter) conditions are found over most South America at maximum (minimum) WS ice extent combinations. Wavetrains from different Pacific and Indian Oceans regions are related to high-level anomalous cyclonic (anticyclonic) circulation over the continent at maximum (minimum) WS ice extent configuration, which explains the climate impacts found. The SASG signal displaces the anomaly circulations eastward from South America, impacting the adjacent Atlantic Ocean region more intensely concerning the other modes. The results discussed here indicated that these patterns (SAM, AMM, SASG, and sea ice extent) have significant links with the South American climate variability.

Background: A left atrial (LA) posterior wall isolation (PWI) is a common additional strategy for persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF) ablation; yet its impact on the LA function remains unclear.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the PWI on the LA contractile function using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE).
Methods: Patients who underwent catheter ablation of PeAF were categorized into extensive encircling pulmonary vein isolation (EEPVI) and PWI groups.

The brown macroalga Ascophyllum nodosum is a foundation species on intertidal rocky shores, where its perennial canopy and high productivity support key ecological functions. However, its population dynamics near the northern edge, where low temperatures and sea ice may challenge stability, are largely unknown. We followed the population structure, dynamics, and nutrient status of A.

Superhydrophobic surfaces can delay icing to a certain extent, but under severe conditions, such as extremely low temperatures and high humidity, ice buildup on their surfaces can still occur. Therefore, in this study, a titanium-based photothermal anti-/deicing fabric with a superhydrophobic surface was introduced, which was impregnated with hydrophobic SiO-TiO Janus particles (H-SiO-TiO JPs) and the silicone elastomer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to endow it with superhydrophobic and photocatalytic properties, and then, titanium nitride nanoparticles (TiN NPs) were deposited on the surface of the cotton fabric to provide it with photothermal properties. A TiN-coated superhydrophobic cotton fabric (TiN-SCF) integrating self-cleaning, photothermal conversion, and photocatalysis was successfully prepared.

Human-caused climate change worsens with every increment of additional warming, although some impacts can develop abruptly. The potential for abrupt changes is far less understood in the Antarctic compared with the Arctic, but evidence is emerging for rapid, interacting and sometimes self-perpetuating changes in the Antarctic environment. A regime shift has reduced Antarctic sea-ice extent far below its natural variability of past centuries, and in some respects is more abrupt, non-linear and potentially irreversible than Arctic sea-ice loss.

The glacial record of gLGM and T1 millennial-scale ice readvances is not continuous across the Patagonian Icefields. Whether missing records indicate that some ice lobes did not readvance during this time, or whether they are the result of burial or erosion of the record, remains to be investigated. We use high-resolution seismic reflection data to probe the glaciolacustrine sediments of Lago Argentino for subaqueous evidence of glacier readvances during the gLGM and T1.
