Effects of topographic smoothing on the simulation of winter precipitation in High Mountain Asia [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2017
AbstractNumerous studies have projected future changes in High Mountain Asia water resources based on temperature and precipitation from global circulation models (GCMs) under future climate scenarios. Although the potential benefit of such studies is immense, coarse grid‐scale GCMs are unable to resolve High Mountain Asia's complex topography and thus

Russian wheat aphids (Diuraphis noxia) in China: Native range expansion or recent introduction? [PDF]

, 2012
In this study, we explore the population genetics of the Russian wheat aphid (RWA) (Diuraphis noxia), one of the world’s most invasive agricultural pests, in north-western China.
