Modelling Patterns of Past Inundation Processes Combining Geoarchaeology and Morphometric Hydrological Analysis in the Shashe‐Limpopo Basin, South Africa

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the

Location and Intensity Changes of the North Equatorial Countercurrent Tied to ITCZ Under Global Warming

Geophysical Research Letters
Previous studies have suggested that global ocean circulation would be significantly changed under global warming, while the change of North Equatorial Countercurrent (NECC) and its mechanisms are still unclear.

Future Mediterranean Summer Drying Across Models: Opposing Dynamic and Thermodynamic Constraints

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models project drier Mediterranean summers under global warming, yet exhibit substantial inter‐model spread. Notably, models with stronger global‐mean warming produce little additional drying.

A Multiscale Model for the Modulation and Rectification of the ITCZ

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2013
Abstract The authors introduce the modulation of the ITCZ equations (M-ITCZ), which describes the multiscale dynamics of the ITCZ on diurnal to monthly time scales in which mesoscale convectively coupled Rossby waves in the ITCZ are modulated by a large-scale gravity wave that is also generated by convection.

Parameterization adaption needed to unlock the benefits of increased resolution for the ITCZ in ICON [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
The double Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (double-ITCZ) bias has been a persistent tropical precipitation bias over many climate model generations. This motivates investigations of whether increasing resolution and discarding parameterizations improves ...

Measurements and Analysis of Light Non‐Methane Hydrocarbon Mole Fractions in 1982–1987 at Six Remote Sites Along the Pacific Rim

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric non‐methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) are important trace species with anthropogenic and natural sources including fugitive emissions from fossil fuel mining and distribution, biomass burning, biofuel combustion, and biogenic emissions from microbes and plants.

Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2134-2157, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

Factors controlling the position of the Intertropical Convergence Zone on an aquaplanet

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2012
Aqua planet experiments performed with fixed sea surface temperatures (SST) using the ECHAM6 GCM are studied to understand properties that influence the position of the inter tropical convergence zone (ITCZ). A single ITCZ develops when using the Nordeng

Dynamical Downscaling of Climate Simulations in the Tropics

Geophysical Research Letters
The long‐existing double‐Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) problem in global climate models (GCMs) hampers accurate climate simulations in the tropics. Using a regional climate model (RCM) over the tropical and sub‐tropical Atlantic with a horizontal
