How the Great Plains Dust Bowl drought spread heat extremes around the Northern Hemisphere
Extraordinary heat extremes occurred in the 1930s in areas of the Northern Hemisphere far from the record setting heat over the US associated with the Great Plains Dust Bowl drought.

Trends and emissions of six perfluorocarbons in the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere [PDF]
Abstract. Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are potent greenhouse gases with global warming potentials up to several thousand times greater than CO2 on a 100-year time horizon. The lack of any significant sinks for PFCs means that they have long atmospheric lifetimes of the order of thousands of years.

DEVELOPMENT OF 23 CYCLES ACTIVITY IN NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES OF THE SUN
On an example of the 23rd cycle of solar activity the basic properties of its development in northern and southern hemispheres were researched (daily values of Wolf Sunspot Number - W, the daily values of Sun spots areas - Sp and daily values of flare ...

Ice particle production in mid-level stratiform mixed-phase clouds observed with collocated A-Train measurements [PDF]
Collocated A-Train CloudSat radar and CALIPSO lidar measurements between 2006 and 2010 are analyzed to study primary ice particle production characteristics in mid-level stratiform mixed-phase clouds on a global scale.

A tropical mechanism for Northern Hemisphere deglaciation [PDF]
We investigate the role of the tropics in the melting and reforming of the Laurentide ice sheet on glacial timescales using an atmospheric general circulation model. It is found that warming of tropical sea surface temperatures (SSTs) from glacial boundary conditions, as observed at the end of glacial periods, causes a large increase in summer ...
