Impact of climate change on renewable groundwater resources : assessing the benefits of avoided greenhouse gas emissions using selected CMIP5 climate projections [PDF]

, 2013
Reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to minimize climate change requires very significant societal effort. To motivate this effort, it is important to clarify the benefits of avoided emissions. To this end, we analysed the impact of four emissions

Recent Cloud Controlling Factor Analyses Indicate Higher Climate Sensitivity

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Cloud feedback is a dominant source of uncertainty in climate model estimates of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS). Cloud controlling factor analysis can observationally constrain cloud feedback. For the first time, we use separate rather than unified frameworks to assess high‐ and low‐cloud feedbacks and constrain the net cloud feedback ...

Stratosphere troposphere coupling: the influence of volcanic eruptions [PDF]

, 2011
Stratospheric sulfate aerosols produced by major volcanic eruptions modify the radiative and dynamical properties of the troposphere and stratosphere through their reflection of solar radiation and absorption of infrared radiation. At the Earth's surface,

Understanding CMIP6 Multi‐Model Ensemble Projected Pacific Warming Pattern Variability

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Most CMIP6 climate models simulate a Pacific SST warming pattern through the 20th and 21st centuries that is “El Niño‐like,” with a weakened zonal equatorial gradient. However, observed trends are “La Niña‐like,” displaying a strengthened zonal equatorial gradient, raising concerns about the accuracy of these projections. Here we explore multi‐

Epidemic dynamics of respiratory syncytial virus in current and future climates. [PDF]

, 2019
A key question for infectious disease dynamics is the impact of the climate on future burden. Here, we evaluate the climate drivers of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), an important determinant of disease in young children.

More Rapid Reduction of Spring Snow Cover on the Western Tibetan Plateau by Emergent Constraint

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Snow cover is a critical component of climate, hydrological, and ecological systems, particularly in high‐altitude and high‐latitude regions. Global warming has driven substantial snow cover retreat, yet projections from climate models vary widely, hindering reliable climate change adaptation and policy planning.

Strengths and Limitations of Statistical and Dynamical Downscaling for the Representation of Compound Dry and Hot Events Over Spain

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 2, February 2026.
Statistical and dynamical downscaling methods are tested for their reproduction of compound dry‐hot events, using three representatives of each category. Statistical methods are found to better detect when they are produced, whereas dynamical downscaling better simulates their distribution over the whole period.

Future Projections of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) in the MDR and Wider Caribbean Region: Utilising CMIP6 GCM Ensembles

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study evaluates CMIP6 model performance and future SST projections in the Tropical North Atlantic and Caribbean, revealing robust model skill and significant warming trends under both SSP2‐4.5 and SSP5‐8.5 scenarios. These findings highlight increased regional vulnerability to climate extremes, including intensified hurricanes and marine heatwaves.

Projections of Atmospheric Moisture Transport Over South America in a Changing Climate

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 2, February 2026.
End‐of‐century (2071–2100) climate projections show significant contrasts in atmospheric moisture over South America, with increased divergence over Northern Chile and Eastern Brazil and stronger convergence over the La Plata and Magdalena basins. Moisture convergence raises risks of extreme rainfall and floods, while divergence intensifies droughts ...

Use of SSU/MSU Satellite Observations to Validate Upper Atmospheric Temperature Trends in CMIP5 Simulations

Remote Sensing, 2015
The tropospheric and stratospheric temperature trends and uncertainties in the fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) model simulations in the period of 1979–2005 have been compared with satellite observations.
