Most long-lived contrails form within cirrus clouds with uncertain climate impact
Nature CommunicationsContrail-cirrus is considered the most important component of aviation-induced climate impact. However, a reliable assessment requires better understanding of their radiative effects.

Using Sea-Level Data to Constrain the Contribution of the Greenland Ice Sheet to Contemporary and Recent Sea-Level Change [PDF]
, 2010 Due to the potentially wide-reaching impacts on climate and sea-level change of a declining Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS), the mass balance of the past decade has caused concern that the ice sheet is reacting to increased temperatures of the industrial era ...

Assessing the catastrophic break-up of Briksdalsbreen, Norway, associated with rapid climate change
, 2011 Recent research has raised concerns about the potential influence of rapid climate change on the stability of major ice sheets. The behaviour of glaciers is determined largely by the processes and conditions operating at their base.

Perception, history, and science: coherence or disparity in the timing of the Little Ice Age maximum in southeast Iceland? [PDF]
, 2005 In Iceland, studies that integrate local perceptions about the landscape with scientific evidence of change have been few. This article presents a case study from southeast Iceland that has two main objectives.

Impacts of Climate Change on Arctic Sea Ice
, 2023 Satellite sensors record a downward trend in Arctic sea ice extent for all months (Figure 2; Fox-Kemper et al., 2021). This trend is particularly pronounced in the summer months (June to October) in which ice extent of the most recent five years (2018 ...

Global-scale gravity wave analysis methodology for the ESA Earth Explorer 11 candidate CAIRT [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement TechniquesIn the past, satellite climatologies of gravity waves (GWs) have initiated progress in their representation in global models. However, these could not provide the phase speed and direction distributions needed for a better understanding of the ...
