Impacts of the East Asian monsoon on lower tropospheric ozone over coastal South China

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2013
The impact of the East Asian monsoon (EAM) on climatology and interannual variability of tropospheric ozone (O _3 ) over the coastal South China was investigated by analyzing 11 years of ozonesonde data over Hong Kong with the aid of Lagrangian ...

Typhoon‐induced surface chlorophyll a decline on the shelf of the South China Sea

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract By disturbing the upper ocean, typhoons may play a crucial role in marine ecosystems. Previous studies mostly demonstrated surface chlorophyll a (Chl a) increase under typhoon conditions. By using satellite data and a physical–biogeochemical model, however, we show that approximately 49% of typhoons crossing the northern shelf of the South ...

Air conditioning versus heating: climate control is more energy demanding in Minneapolis than in Miami

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2013
Energy demand for climate control was analyzed for Miami (the warmest large metropolitan area in the US) and Minneapolis (the coldest large metropolitan area). The following relevant parameters were included in the analysis: (1) climatological deviations

Time to burn: landscape drivers of fuel trait variability and fire regime in savanna ecosystems

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Fuel traits are important determinants of fire behavior and regime in savannas and, thus, of how fire affects plant communities. However, whether these traits are correlated, predictable and how they are influenced by biotic and abiotic drivers remain to be rigorously evaluated.

Surface temperature modulations induced by Rossby Wave Breaking over Indian region

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Communications
Upper-level Rossby Wave Breaking (RWB) significantly affects surface weather patterns in the subtropical Indian region through influencing wind circulation often resulting in extremes in rainfall and surface temperatures.

Forbs in Viking lands: the effect of disturbing dominant graminoids on recruitment in tundra grasslands

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Grasslands, by definition, are dominated by graminoids. Nevertheless, forbs also make up a substantial part of vascular plant diversity in grasslands and are important resources of mammalian herbivores. However, forb recruitment is constrained by successful dominant graminoids, limiting access to safe sites for germination.

Climatic Specific Energy Rating Analysis of Outdoor PV Field Data

open access: yesProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
The study evaluates the Climatic Specific Energy Rating (CSER) of Photovoltaic device according to IEC 61853 standard series. It explores the use of long‐term PV outdoor field data in order to understand how the length and seasonality of the data acquisition period affects the reliability of the CSER parameter. It provides important insights for the PV
