A Three-Layer Atmosphere-Ocean Time Series Model of Global Climate Change [PDF]

Time series models of global climate change have tended to estimate a low climate sensitivity and a fast adjustment rate to equilibrium. These results appear to be biased by omission of a key variable - heat stored in the ocean.

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

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
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.

Ocean effects on weather and climate

Geofísica Internacional, 1973
Un modelo termodinámico se usa, para el hemisferio norte, en enero y en julio, para evaluar en el sistema Atmósfera-Océano-Continente las contribuciones, en los campos de temperatura, de la evaporación y del calor sensible dado a la atmósfera de la superficie de los océanos; así como del almacenamiento de energía en los mismos. Se presentan cálculos de

Uncertainty in near-term global surface warming linked to tropical Pacific climate variability

Nature Communications, 2019
Large uncertainty exists in projecting future 20-year global warming trends due to intrinsic tropical Pacific climate variability. Here the authors show that knowledge of the state of the Pacific Ocean can significantly reduce this uncertainty via the ...

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

A comparison of the atmospheric response to the Weddell Sea Polynya in atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) of varying resolutions [PDF]

Weather and Climate Dynamics
The Weddell Sea Polynya (WSP) is a large opening within the sea ice cover of the Weddell Sea sector. It has been a rare event in the satellite period, appearing between 1973 and 1976 and again in 2016/2017.

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

The relationship between the SOI and extended tropical precipitation in simulations of future climate change [PDF]

, 2002
The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), its relationship with precipitation, and how greenhouse gas-induced changes in climate may modify these relationships has been examined in 12 coupled atmosphere-ocean Global Climate Model (GCM) experiments. The model

Advances in causal discovery methods for ecological time series

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent advances in data collection technologies (e.g. automated sensor networks, satellite remote sensing, and high‐throughput sequencing) have greatly expanded the availability of ecological time series, enabling new opportunities for causal analyses in dynamic ecosystems.

Climate change 2013: the physical science basis [PDF]

, 2013
This report argues that it is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century. This is an an unedited version of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\u27s Working Group I ...
