Stormier Southern Hemisphere induced by topography and ocean circulation

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2022
A defining feature of Earth’s present-day climate is that the Southern Hemisphere is stormier than the Northern Hemisphere. Consistently, the Southern Hemisphere has a stronger jet stream and more extreme weather events than the Northern Hemisphere. Understanding the relative importance of land–ocean contrast, including topography, radiative processes,

Groundwater Rise Sustains the World's Largest Alpine Water System Under Global Warming

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Shallow groundwater depth (SGWD) across the non‐permafrost plains of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau decreased at averagely 0.02 m year−1, adding 31.44 Gt of freshwater storage from 2000 to 2020 and sustaining ∼53 500 km2 of alpine ecosystems. A vadose‐zone capacity of 426.6 Gt reveals these aquifers as promising reservoirs, highlighting groundwater's ...

Technical note: Two types of absolute dynamic ocean topography [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Science, 2018
Two types of marine geoid exist with the first type being the average level of sea surface height (SSH) if the water is at rest (classical definition), and the second type being satellite-determined with the condition that the water is usually not at ...

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Io's Long‐Wavelength Topography as a Probe for a Subsurface Magma Ocean

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
We investigated how spatial variations in tidal heating affect Io's isostatic topography at long wavelengths. The long‐wavelength relief is less than the 0.3 km uncertainty in Io's global shape. Assuming Airy isostasy, degree‐2 topography

Prospecting of Architectural Features Using LiDAR‐UAV Technology, Deep Neural Networks and Visualization Techniques: A Case Study in Kuélap and Cambolín (NW Peru)

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐resolution and accurate synoptic images of terrestrial topography, even in densely forested areas, have proven valuable for archaeology by enabling the identification and characterization of relief patterns associated with ancient human activities. This study presents a novel approach that integrates digital terrain models (DTMs) obtained

Improving Global Barotropic Tides With Sub‐Grid Scale Topography

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
In recent years, efforts have been made to include tides in both operational ocean models as well as climate and earth system models. The accuracy of the barotropic tides is often limited by the model topography, which is in turn limited by model ...
