National climate, agriculture and socio-economic development policies and plans formulated with the use of scenarios across six global regions [PDF]
, 2015 Climate change impacts bring great uncertainty, raising the need to plan for the future. As the impacts of climate change are complex and far-reaching, it can be extremely difficult to foresee exactly what the consequences will be, and how they will ...

Climate Change and Climate Science [PDF]
Science, 2004 T here is a paradoxical gulf between the importance of Earth's climate and the level of public interest in it. To be sure, tornadoes, killer heat waves, and floods make the headlines, but it's important to remember that weather is not climate. Some of the public's confusion may relate to a certain failure to make that distinction, as in the occasional ...

Radar-equivalent snowpack: reducing the number of snow layers while retaining their microwave properties and bulk snow mass [PDF]
The CryosphereSnow water equivalent (SWE) retrieval from Ku-band radar measurements is possible with complex retrieval algorithms involving prior information on the snowpack microstructure and a microwave radiative transfer model to link backscatter measurements to ...

Implications of "peak oil" for atmospheric CO2 and climate
, 2007 Unconstrained CO2 emission from fossil fuel burning has been the dominant cause of observed anthropogenic global warming. The amounts of "proven" and potential fossil fuel reserves are uncertain and debated.

Frequency and distribution of winter melt events from passive microwave satellite data in the pan-Arctic, 1988–2013 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 This study presents an algorithm for detecting winter melt events in seasonal snow cover based on temporal variations in the brightness temperature difference between 19 and 37 GHz from satellite passive microwave measurements.
