Variability of the Atlantic thermohaline circulation described by three-dimensional empirical orthogonal functions [PDF]

, 2007
We describe the use of bivariate 3d empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) in characterising low frequency variability of the Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) in the Hadley Centre global climate model, HadCM3. We find that the leading two modes are

Assessment of the 11-year solar cycle signals in the middle atmosphere during boreal winter with multiple-model ensemble simulations [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
To better understand possible reasons for the diverse modeling results and large discrepancies of the detected solar fingerprints, we took one step back and assessed the “initial” solar signals in the middle atmosphere based on a set of ensemble ...

Climate Variability and Change of Mediterranean-Type Climates [PDF]

Journal of Climate, 2019
AbstractMediterranean-type climates are defined by temperate, wet winters, and hot or warm dry summers and exist at the western edges of five continents in locations determined by the geography of winter storm tracks and summer subtropical anticyclones.

Understanding the atmospheric circulations that lead to high particulate matter concentrations on the west coast of Namibia

Clean Air Journal, 2017
Atmospheric circulations play a significant role in determining the extent and impact of local and regional air pollution. The Erongo Region, located in the western part of Namibia, falls within the west coast arid zone of southern Africa, and is ...

Climate change and climate variability

, 2021
Climate extremes, as recurring events, are the result of natural climate variability (including phenomena such as El Niño), which can have significant local and regional impacts on the society and the environment. These events are typically related to unusually high or low temperature, prolonged dry or wet conditions, heavy precipitation, or extreme ...

Mesoscale eddies heterogeneously modulate CO₂ fluxes in eddy-rich regions of the Southern Ocean [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Mesoscale eddies are known to influence the Southern Ocean biogeochemistry. However, the distinct contributions of cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies to air–sea CO2 fluxes, as well as their longer-term effects remain poorly studied. We present results from

Climatic and oceanic associations with daily rainfall extremes over southern Africa [PDF]

, 2006
Changes in climate variability and, in particular, changes in extreme climate events are likely to be of far more significance for environmentally vulnerable regions than changes in the mean state.

Climate Change in the High Andes:implications and adaptation strategies for small-scale farmers [PDF]

, 2010
: Global climate change represents a major threat to sustainable farming in the Andes. Farmers have used local ecological knowledge and intricate production systems to cope, adapt and reorganize to meet climate uncertainty and risk, which have always ...

Cosmic Rays and Climate [PDF]

, 2007
Among the most puzzling questions in climate change is that of solar-climate variability, which has attracted the attention of scientists for more than two centuries. Until recently, even the existence of solar-climate variability has been controversial -

Recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming and confer resistance to targeted therapies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that the majority of the 18 analyzed recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming. The most potent mutations are activating, co‐operate with other ERBB receptors, and are sensitive to pan‐ERBB inhibitors. Activating ERBB4 mutations also promote therapy resistance in EGFR‐mutant lung cancer.
