Seasonal prediction and possible causes of sudden losses of sea-ice in the Weddell Sea in recent years based on potential oceanic and atmospheric factors

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
The seasonal prediction of sea-ice concentration (SIC), especially sudden loss events, is always challenging. Weddell Sea SIC experienced two unprecedented decline events, falling from 2.21% in the austral winter of 2015 to 0.02% in the austral summer of

Financing climate change adaptation [PDF]

open access: yesDisasters, 2006
AbstractThis paper examines the topic of financing adaptation in future climate change policies. A major question is whether adaptation in developing countries should be financed under the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), or whether funding should come from other sources. We present an overview of financial resources

Assessment of characteristics of surface solar irradiance on consecutive days using a self‐organizing map and clustering methods

open access: yesMeteorological Applications, 2021
The assessment of surface solar irradiance as a resource is a major research topic in renewable energy. A method for assessing the characteristics of global horizontal solar irradiance (GHI) at the surface on consecutive days is proposed in this work.
