World Ocean Circulation Experiment – Argo Global Hydrographic Climatology

Ocean Science (OS), 2018
. The paper describes the new gridded World Ocean Circulation Experiment-Argo Global Hydrographic Climatology (WAGHC). The climatology has a 1∕4∘ spatial resolution resolving the annual cycle of temperature and salinity on a monthly basis.

Mountainous vegetation succession and land use during the last millennium in the Peloponnese (southern Greece): Environmental change and economic development in an isolated periphery

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mediterranean mountainous areas and their valuable natural resources have long been attractive to human societies. The Peloponnese (southern Greece), with its complex topographic and climatic variability, has been the scenery for the development of numerous human communities.

Imperial systems and local landscapes of Buldan Yayla in Western Anatolia (Türkiye) during the last 4000 years: An integrated palynological, historical, and archaeological approach

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates long‐term impacts of empires on local socio‐ecosystems in western Anatolia (modern western Türkiye) over the past four millennia. We focus on Buldan Yayla Lake, located in a small mountain basin north of the Büyük Menderes (Great Meander) River valley.

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

Environmental 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 ...

Saharan Hot and Dry Sirocco Winds Drive Extreme Fire Events in Mediterranean Tunisia (North Africa)

Atmosphere, 2020
With hot and dry summers, the Mediterranean basin is affected by recurrent fires. While drought is the major driver of the seasonal and inter-annual fire distribution in its northern and mildest climate conditions, some extreme fire events are also ...

Middle to Late Pleistocene valley‐slope cambering: The interglacial basin at Wing, Rutland, England

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A depression in the Jurassic bedrock at Wing, Rutland (eastern England), is infilled by deposits spanning the Late Wolstonian (=Late Saalian) to Early Devensian (=Early Weichselian) substages, including the most complete Ipswichian Stage (=Eemian Stage; ~Marine Isotope Stage 5e) sequence known in Britain. This sequence forms an enclosed pocket,
