All-Season Climatology and Variability of Atmospheric River Frequencies over the North Pacific

open access: yes, 2016
Recent work on atmospheric rivers (ARs) has led to a characterization of these impactful features as primarily cold-season phenomena. Here, an all-season analysis of AR incidence in the North Pacific basin is performed for the period spanning 1979–2014 ...

A global monthly climatology of total alkalinity: a neural network approach

open access: yesEarth System Science Data, 2018
. Global climatologies of the seawater CO2 chemistry variables are necessary to assess the marine carbon cycle in depth. The climatologies should adequately capture seasonal variability to properly address ocean acidification and similar issues related ...

Harsh Winter Shocks and Distress Sales: Consumption and Asset Smoothing Among Livestock Farmers in Kyrgyzstan

open access: yesJournal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The sale of livestock has long been considered a means of mitigation in case of drought, but there is no evidence of how this is achieved in the event of severe winters. This article focuses on the exceptionally harsh winter days that Kyrgyzstan experienced in 2012, as well as harsh winter days in other years, to analyse how livestock owners ...

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 ...

World Ocean Circulation Experiment – Argo Global Hydrographic Climatology

open access: yesOcean 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.

An aminostratigraphy of the northern Upper Rhine Graben, Germany

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The northern Upper Rhine Graben (Germany) contains a complex, quasi‐continuous Quaternary record, but constraining its chronology is challenging. This study presents the first application of amino acid geochronology for this region using Bithynia opercula to establish a relative dating framework.

Emergent Trends Complicate the Interpretation of the United States Drought Monitor (USDM)

open access: yesAGU Advances
Effective drought management must be informed by an understanding of whether and how current drought monitoring and assessment practices represent underlying nonstationary climate conditions, either naturally occurring or forced by climate change.

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

The Holocene sedimentary record of Mittie Glacier dynamics in Smith Bay, Ellesmere Island (eastern Canadian Arctic Archipelago)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The physical, sedimentological, mineralogical, and elemental geochemical properties of sediment cores collected in Smith Bay (22BC and 01PC), and near the front of Mittie Glacier (23BC and 01GC), were used to reconstruct glacial sediment discharge and trace the long‐term composition and provenance of detrital sediments for the northeastern ...
