Morphology and tectonics of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 7°–12°S

, 2003
We present swath bathymetric, gravity, and magnetic data from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between the Ascension and the Bode Verde fracture zones, where significant ridge–hot spot interaction has been inferred.

Non‐Stationary Dry‐Spell Hazard Probabilities for Spain

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study assesses long‐term changes in dry‐spell hazard probabilities across Spain (1961–2024) using a novel non‐stationary extreme value framework applied to daily precipitation records from a dense observational network. Results show that dry‐spell duration and associated return levels are dominantly stationary, with non‐stationary models providing

Geodynamics and Rate of Volcanism on Massive Earth-like Planets [PDF]

, 2009
We provide estimates of volcanism versus time for planets with Earth-like composition and masses from 0.25 to 25 times Earth, as a step toward predicting atmospheric mass on extrasolar rocky planets. Volcanism requires melting of the silicate mantle.

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

Abiotic formation of condensed carbonaceous matter in the hydrating oceanic crust

Nature Communications, 2018
Thermodynamic calculations suggest that condensed carbonaceous matter should be the dominant product of abiotic organic synthesis during serpentinization of the oceanic crust at Mid-Ocean Ridges.

Windows of opportunity in subseasonal weather regime forecasting: A statistical–dynamical approach

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study explores how the atmospheric state at initialisation creates windows of opportunity for improving week 3 forecasts of weather regime activity. Greenland blocking activity increases following Madden–Julian Oscillation phases 7, 8, and 1 and weak stratospheric polar vortex states, revealing patterns exploitable by statistical models.

Note on the redistribution and dissipation of tidal energy over mid-ocean ridges [PDF]

Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2015
The redistribution and dissipation of internal wave energy arising from the conversion at mid-ocean ridges of the barotropic tide is studied in a set of numerical experiments.

Impact of geothermal heating on the global ocean circulation [PDF]

, 2001
The response of a global circulation model to a uniform geothermal heat flux of 50 mW m-2 through the sea floor is examined. If the geothermal heat input were transported upward purely by diffusion, the deep ocean would warm by 1.2°C. However, geothermal

The relationship between seasonal mean temperature and most extreme day

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
In Northern Hemisphere winter, there is a strong correlation between seasonal mean temperature and coldest daily mean temperature which varies in magnitude from one region to another (with a weaker relationship in summer between mean and hottest day).

An anatomy of fog over Nova Scotia under a ridge on 8 September 2021

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Image from an aircraft traveling eastward at 1230 UTC (0930 Atlantic Daylight Time, ADT) on 8 September 2021. The view is to the southeast over the eastern coast of Nova Scotia. The leading head of the fog bank is in the image with its base on the sea surface.
