Modelling the Dispersion of Seafloor Massive Sulphide Mining Plumes in the Mid Atlantic Ridge Around the Azores

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
It is increasingly recognised that deep-sea mining of seafloor massive sulphides (SMS) could become an important source of mineral resources. These operations will remove the targeted substrate and produce potentially toxic plumes from in situ seabed ...

Sensitivity of Consecutive‐Dry‐Day Trends to Trace Loss in Matched Precipitation Archives

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Loss of trace precipitation information can turn valid dry days into missing observations that interrupt consecutive dry day (CDD) spells. Simulating this loss reduced the median cross‐archive CDD trend discrepancy by 88% across 205 matched Spanish station pairs; a separate global experiment converting documented traces to missing observations changed ...
