International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Results indicate that, an increase in global warming level from 1.5°C to 2°C is likely to induce on the one hand a 3‐fold increase in the frequency of occurrence of dry and warm compound events, and on the other hand a 2‐fold increase in their duration, over West, Central, South‐West, and South‐East Africa, intensifying droughts through reduced ...

The Atlantic Coast of Long Island
Coastal Engineering 1968, 1968 The south shore of Long Island, located on the northeast coast of the United States, consists of 120 miles of headlands and harrier beach which is breached by inlets that interconnect the coastal bays with the Atlantic Ocean. The shore is subject to severe changes due to constant attack of the ocean, rising level of the ocean and severe storms.

The Status of Eelgrass, Zostera marina, as Bay Scallop Habitat: Consequences for the Fishery in the Western Atlantic [PDF]
, 2009 Zostera marina is a member of a widely distributed genus of seagrasses, all commonly called eelgrass. The reported distribution of eelgrass along the east coast of the United States is from Maine to North Carolina. Eelgrass inhabits a variety of coastal

Ocean impact on decadal Atlantic climate variability revealed by sea-level observations [PDF]
, 2015 Decadal variability is a notable feature of the Atlantic Ocean and the climate of the regions it influences. Prominently, this is manifested in the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) in sea surface temperatures. Positive (negative) phases of the AMO

River-discharge effects on United States Atlantic and Gulf coast sea-level changes
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance River discharge exerts an important influence on coastal ocean circulation but has been overlooked as a driver of historical coastal sea-level change and future coastal flood risk. We explore the relation between observed river discharge and

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Using complex network theory and event synchronisation, we find distinct spatiotemporal structures of extreme precipitation and sea surface temperature events across the Northern Hemisphere. Our results show strong local and long‐range connectivity in terrestrial extremes, driven by atmospheric dynamics, contrasting with more localised marine extremes ...

Geologic Framework and Glaciation of the Eastern Area [PDF]
, 2006 Late Pleistocene landscapes in glaciated eastern North America include changing ice margins, fluctuating lake and sea levels, and deglaciated physical settings that were inhabited by a variety of extinct (Rancholabrean) fauna. The glaciated East of North

Impacts of Low‐Level Jets on Moisture Transport to the Pantanal, Brazil
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.The moisture transports from the tropics to the subtropics by the low‐level jets (LLJs) east of the Andes crossing the Pantanal region. Four LLJs, east of the Andes, were identified and selected with correspondent Lagrangian moisture transport. The LLJ moisture source regions contribute to Pantanal (~63.5%) and precipitation increased (~30%) during LLJ

Revue Marocaine des Sciences Agronomiques et Vétérinaires, 2014 The analysis of the distribution wintering waders in Mauritania demonstrated that most of these birds (77 %) are distributed on the Atlantic coast. In fact, this is mainly along this coast that the habitat preferences of this group (sand, mudflats, and ...
