Associate research scientist, Hongbin Yu recently co-authored a paper on “Global and regional temperature-change potentials for near-term climate forcers” (Atmos. Chem. Phys., 13, 2471-2485, 2013). The paper is highlighted in the April issue of Nature Climate Change entitled “Short-term Impacts.”
![Satellite seasonal temperature difference maps indicate how the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem and its organisms may respond to the temperature changes. Here, the maps show warmer than average water temperatures from January through March 2020, cooler than average from April through June, near average July through September, and slightly warmer than average October through December. The long-term baseline is from the years 2008-2019.]](https://essic.umd.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/rv-chesapeake2-150x150.jpg)
