A New Structure for the Sea Ice Essential Climate Variables of the Global Climate Observing System

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2022
Abstract Climate observations inform about the past and present state of the climate system. They underpin climate science, feed into policies for adaptation and mitigation, and increase awareness of the impacts of climate change. The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), a body of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), assesses the maturity of

An Ocean-Colour Time Series for Use in Climate Studies: The Experience of the Ocean-Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC-CCI)

Sensors, 2019
Ocean colour is recognised as an Essential Climate Variable (ECV) by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS); and spectrally-resolved water-leaving radiances (or remote-sensing reflectances) in the visible domain, and chlorophyll-a concentration are ...

Revisiting land cover observation to address the needs of the climate modeling community [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2012
Improving systematic observations of land cover, as an Essential Climate Variable, should contribute to a better understanding of the global climate system and thus improve our ability to predict climatic change.

Climate-Driven Range Shifts Are Rapid Yet Variable Among Recreationally Important Coastal-Pelagic Fishes

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Shifts in species distributions are occurring globally in response to climate change, but robust comparisons of redistribution rates among species are often prevented by methodological inconsistencies, challenging the identification of species that are ...

Editorial for Special Issue: “Remotely Sensed Albedo”

Remote Sensing, 2019
Land surface (bare soil, vegetation, and snow) albedo is an essential climate variable that affects the Earth’s radiation budget, and therefore, is of vital interest for a broad number of applications: Thematic (urban, cryosphere, land cover, and ...
