Thermodynamic efficiency and entropy production in the climate system [PDF]
, 2009 We present an outlook on the climate system thermodynamics. First, we construct an equivalent Carnot engine with efficiency and frame the Lorenz energy cycle in a macroscale thermodynamic context.

A 900-year New England temperature reconstruction from in situ seasonally produced branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2018 Paleotemperature reconstructions are essential for distinguishing anthropogenic climate change from natural variability. An emerging method in paleolimnology is the use of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) in sediments to ...

Patterns of change: whose fingerprint is seen in global warming? [PDF]
, 2011 Attributing observed climate change to causes is challenging. This letter communicates the physical arguments used in attribution, and the statistical methods applied to explore to what extent different possible causes can be used to explain the recent ...

Multi-Scale Entropy Analysis as a Method for Time-Series Analysis of Climate Data [PDF]
, 2015 Evidence is mounting that the temporal dynamics of the climate system are changing at the same time as the average global temperature is increasing due to multiple climate forcings.

Carbon-Cycle Feedbacks Operating in the Climate System
Current Climate Change Reports, 2019 Climate change involves a direct response of the climate system to forcing which is amplified or damped by feedbacks operating in the climate system. Carbon-cycle feedbacks alter the land and ocean carbon inventories and so act to reduce or enhance the ...

Carbon sequestration in different urban vegetation types in Southern Finland [PDF]
BiogeosciencesMany cities seek carbon neutrality and are therefore interested in the sequestration potential of urban vegetation. However, the heterogeneous nature of urban vegetation and environmental conditions limits comprehensive measurement efforts, setting ...
