The effect of doubled CO2 and model basic state biases on the monsoon-ENSO system. I: Mean response and interannual variability [PDF]
The impact of doubled CO2 concentration on the Asian summer monsoon is studied using a coupled ocean-atmosphere model. Both the mean seasonal precipitation and interannual monsoon variability are found to increase in the future climate scenario presented.

Decomposing the meridional heat transport in the climate system
The meridional heat transport (MHT) in the climate system is investigated using a state-of-the-art coupled climate model (CESM1.0). This work decomposes the MHT and studies their physics in detail.

Validity of a Wearable Digital Insole for Assessing Gait ON and OFF in Parkinson's Disease
ABSTRACT Objective Gait impairment is a distinctive symptom of Parkinson's disease that negatively impact mobility. We assessed the validity of wearable digital insoles against a validated reference gait analysis system for measuring select gait characteristics in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods A comparative analysis between digital insoles

Climate System Ontology: A Formal Specification of the Complex Climate System
Modeling the climate system requires a formal representation of the characteristics of the system elements and the processes that change them. The Climate System Ontology (CSO) represents the semantics of the processes that continuously cause change at component and system levels.

Global Variability and Future Projections of Marine Heatwave Onset and Decline Rates
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) can significantly impact marine ecosystems and socio-economic systems, and their severity may increase with global warming. Nevertheless, research on the onset and decline rates of MHWs remains limited, and their historical and ...
