Impact of precipitation and increasing temperatures on drought trends in eastern Africa [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2021 In eastern Africa droughts can cause crop failure and lead to food insecurity. With increasing temperatures, there is an a priori assumption that droughts are becoming more severe.

Effect of changing ocean circulation on deep ocean temperature in the last millennium [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2020 Paleoreconstructions and modern observations provide us with anomalies of surface temperature over the past millennium. The history of deep ocean temperatures is much less well-known and was simulated in a recent study for the past 2000 years under ...

A trend-preserving bias correction – the ISI-MIP approach [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2013 Statistical bias correction is commonly applied within climate impact modelling to correct climate model data for systematic deviations of the simulated historical data from observations.

Assessing the impact of a future volcanic eruption on decadal predictions [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2018 The likelihood of a large volcanic eruption in the future provides the largest uncertainty concerning the evolution of the climate system on the timescale of a few years, but also an excellent opportunity to learn about the behavior of the climate ...

Projections of leaf area index in earth system models [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2016 The area of leaves in the plant canopy, measured as leaf area index (LAI), modulates key land–atmosphere interactions, including the exchange of energy, moisture, carbon dioxide (CO2), and other trace gases and aerosols, and is therefore an essential ...

The effect of univariate bias adjustment on multivariate hazard estimates [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2019 Bias adjustment is often a necessity in estimating climate impacts because impact models usually rely on unbiased climate information, a requirement that climate model outputs rarely fulfil.

Groundwater nitrate concentration evolution under climate change and agricultural adaptation scenarios: Prince Edward Island, Canada [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2016 Nitrate (N-NO3) concentration in groundwater, the sole source of potable water in Prince Edward Island (PEI, Canada), currently exceeds the 10 mg L−1 (N-NO3) health threshold for drinking water in 6 % of domestic wells.

Variation in emission metrics due to variation in CO2 and temperature impulse response functions [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2013 Emission metrics are used to compare the climate effect of the emission of different species, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). The most common metrics use linear impulse response functions (IRFs) derived from a single more complex model ...
