Applicability evaluation of multiple sets of soil moisture data on the tibetan plateau

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Based on the in situ data of the soil moisture-observation networks established at Maqu, Naqu, Ali, and Shiquanhe (Sq) on the Tibetan Plateau (TP), and using five evaluation indices [Pearson correlation coefficient (R), root mean square error (RMSE ...

Observed Linkages Between Marine Heatwaves and Extreme Weather Over Land: A New Zealand Case Study

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Marine heatwaves consistently warm New Zealand's land surface, but rainfall impacts occur only when synoptic systems enable moisture transport. This 38‐year analysis shows MHWs act as thermodynamic background drivers of heat and conditional amplifiers of extreme rainfall events or droughts.

Mapping drought characteristics in northern Algerian Basins using the ERA5-Land dataset

Scientific Reports
Over the past decades, drought events have led to significant agricultural losses and water shortages in the Algerian catchments; these hydro-meteorological phenomena strongly affect the entire Mediterranean region, and its frequency and intensity may increase due to climate change.

Changing Water Resources in the Indus Basin: A Multi‐Model Budyko‐Based Analysis

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Budyko‐based analysis evaluates historical (1962–2005) and future hydroclimatic change across the Indus River Basin. Budyko shifts indicate rising atmospheric evaporative demand and increasing energy limitation under future scenarios. ABSTRACT Assessing hydroclimatic variability and future water availability is crucial for sustainable water‐resource ...

Downscaled ERA5 Land addresses agrometeorological data scarcity in North African basins

Scientific Reports
Abstract A reliable estimate of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) requires several meteorological inputs, which may be unavailable in regions with limited data availability. In this regard, this study aimed to address the following objectives: First, to evaluate the effectiveness of ERA5_Land (ERA5_L hereafter) weather forecasts in ...

Characterising City Scale Heat Climatology for Australian Climate Zones

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in Australian cities peaks at night, intensifying under dry conditions, clear skies, increased solar radiation, and low wind speeds. Long‐term observations show that nighttime temperatures in major cities have warmed faster than their rural surroundings and future climate projections fail to capture this disparity ...

Deglaciation of the Burren glacio‐karst, western Ireland, during Termination 1: Implications for North Atlantic climate and karstification

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Burren uplands in western Ireland form one of the most extensive and best‐preserved examples of glacio‐karst in Europe. Subsumed by the Irish ice sheet during the Late Pleistocene, granite erratic boulders and in situ silica veins in the limestone bedrock provide a rare opportunity to reconstruct the timing and rate of deglaciation ...

Forest Landscape Changes and Ecological Restoration for Sustainable Land Systems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates forest landscape changes and ecological restoration in Sichuan Province, China, to assess their contribution to sustainable land systems under climate stress. A theory‐guided multistage framework was applied to link Landsat‐based change detection, landscape metrics, habitat quality assessment, soil‐retention analysis ...

Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

Comparative Analysis of the Accuracy of Temperature and Precipitation Data in Brazil

Meteorology
Accurate air temperature and precipitation data are fundamental for environmental and socioeconomic applications in Brazil. However, the observational network managed by the National Institute of Meteorology, suffers from spatial gaps, necessitating the ...
