Towards high resolution, validated and open global wind power assessments

Nature Communications
Wind power is widely recognized as a key component of future net-zero energy systems. However, substantial variability among current wind resource and power simulations used for wind farm deployment limits the reliability of siting and system integration

Response of the large-scale subglacial drainage system of Northeast Greenland to surface elevation changes [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2015
The influence of subglacial water on the dynamics of ice flow has been the object of increasing interest in the past decade. In this study we focus on large-scale, long-term changes in surface elevation over Northeast Greenland and the corresponding ...

Ice sheet extent and early deglacial history of the southwestern sector of the Greenland ice sheet [PDF]

, 2009
The offshore and coastal geomorphology of southwest Greenland records evidence for the advance and decay of the Greenland Ice Sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum.

Influence of temperature fluctuations on equilibrium
ice sheet volume [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2018
Forecasting the future sea level relies on accurate modeling of the response of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets to changing temperatures. The surface mass balance (SMB) of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has a nonlinear response to warming. Cold

Stability of Ice Shelves and Ice Cliffs in a Changing Climate

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences
The largest uncertainty in future sea-level rise is loss of ice from the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets. Ice shelves, freely floating platforms of ice that fringe the ice sheets, play a crucial role in restraining discharge of grounded ice into the ocean through buttressing.

East Greenland ice core dust record reveals timing of Greenland ice sheet advance and retreat

Nature Communications, 2019
Accurate measurements of the past extent of the Greenland ice sheet are crucial to understand its response to changing climate conditions. Here, the authors present a dust record from an ice core from the east coast of Greenland to provide detailed time ...

Incorporation of lumped IVOC emissions into the ORACLE model (V1.1): a multi-product framework for assessing global SOA formation from internal combustion engines [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is a major component of particulate matter but is often underpredicted in chemistry climate models. Recent advances in measuring and resolving the chemically complex structure of intermediate volatile organic compounds ...

Climate impacts of ice nucleation [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2012
Several different ice nucleation parameterizations in two different General Circulation Models (GCMs) are used to understand the effects of ice nucleation on the mean climate state, and the Aerosol Indirect Effects (AIE) of cirrus clouds on climate. Simulations have a range of ice microphysical states that are consistent with the spread of observations,

A microphysics guide to cirrus – Part 3: Occurrence patterns of cloud particles [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Cloud particle size distributions (PSDs) are crucial in determining the clouds physical and optical properties and hence their radiative feedback to the climate.
