Comparing interannual variability in three regional single-model initial-condition large ensembles (SMILEs) over Europe [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2020 For sectors like agriculture, hydrology and ecology, increasing interannual variability (IAV) can have larger impacts than changes in the mean state, whereas decreasing IAV in winter implies that the coldest seasons warm more than the mean.

Projections of East Asian summer monsoon change at global warming of 1.5 and 2 °C [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2018 Much research is needed regarding the two long-term warming targets of the 2015 Paris Agreement, i.e., 1.5 and 2 °C above pre-industrial levels, especially from a regional perspective.

Old orogen–young topography: lithological contrasts controlling erosion and relief formation in the Bohemian Massif [PDF]
Earth Surface DynamicsIn several low mountain ranges throughout Europe, high-grade metamorphic and granitic rocks of the Variscan orogen are exposed – even though the topography of this Paleozoic mountain range was largely leveled during the Permian and later covered by ...

Multi-model climate impact assessment and intercomparison for three large-scale river basins on three continents [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2015 Climate change impacts on hydrological processes should be simulated for river basins using validated models and multiple climate scenarios in order to provide reliable results for stakeholders. In the last 10–15 years, climate impact assessment has been

Climate system response to stratospheric sulfate aerosols: sensitivity to altitude of aerosol layer [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2019 Reduction of surface temperatures of the planet by injecting sulfate aerosols in the stratosphere has been suggested as an option to reduce the amount of human-induced climate warming.

Evaluating climate emulation: fundamental impulse testing of simple climate models [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2019 Simple climate models (SCMs) are numerical representations of the Earth's gas cycles and climate system. SCMs are easy to use and computationally inexpensive, making them an ideal tool in both scientific and decision-making contexts (e.g., complex ...

On the social dynamics of moisture recycling [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2018 The biophysical phenomenon of terrestrial moisture recycling connects distant regions via the atmospheric branch of the water cycle. This process, whereby the land surface mediates evaporation to the atmosphere and the precipitation that falls ...

Fracture Network Influence on Rock Damage and Gas Transport following an Underground Explosion
GeotechnicsSimulations of rock damage and gas transport following underground explosions that omit preexisting fracture networks in the subsurface cannot fully characterize the influence of geo-structural variability on gas transport.

Critical impacts of global warming on land ecosystems [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2013 Globally increasing temperatures are likely to have impacts on terrestrial, aquatic and marine ecosystems that are difficult to manage. Quantifying impacts worldwide and systematically as a function of global warming is fundamental to substantiating the ...
