Tides in three enclosed basins: the Baltic, Black and Caspian seas

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016
Tides are the main type of sea level variability in the world ocean. However, oceanic tides penetrate weakly, or do not penetrate at all, into enclosed basins such as the Baltic, Black and Caspian seas. Consequently, only directly forced tides are formed

Assessing the accuracy and stability of variable importance in species distribution modelling algorithms through sample perturbations

Ecography, EarlyView.
Variable importance derived from species distribution modelling (SDM) is widely used to identify key environmental drivers of species distributions. However, the reliability of these inferences has rarely been systematically evaluated, particularly with respect to their sensitivity to individual occurrences.

Global patterns of treeline predictability and the gap between the forest and the treeline

Ecography, EarlyView.
The alpine treeline is the highest elevation at which trees can grow, which is assumed to be controlled by temperature and globally predictable. However, many upper forest limits (UFLs) do not reach this elevation, due natural factors and human disturbance.

Downscaling of Temperatures Over the Eastern Mediterranean for the 21st Century

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
We developed an analogue‐based statistical downscaling method, using a K‐nearest‐neighbour framework, to project daily maximum temperature (Tmax) and minimum temperature (Tmin) at 32 homogenized meteorological stations. Late twenty‐first‐century (2080–2100) temperature projections obtained using the method, show robust warming across all stations and ...

Climatology of Tropical Cyclones Approaching Tanzania and Their Impacts on Rainfall in East Africa

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Tropical cyclones (TCs) that approach Tanzania bring heavy rainfall over northern Mozambique, Tanzania, and south‐central Kenya, but the occurrence of these TCs reduces precipitation over southern African countries. Easterly steering winds and the Mascarene High are key features directing TCs westward.

Contrasting Heatwave Regimes in Dry and Humid Subtropical Mexico: A Station‐Based Probabilistic Assessment

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Heatwaves have intensified under a warming climate, producing substantial environmental and societal impacts. This study characterizes heatwave regimes in two contrasting regions of Mexico using a percentile‐based threshold and a Poisson distribution framework.

Acceleration of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by Wind Stress along the Coast of Antarctica [PDF]

, 2013
The influence of wind forcing on variability of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is investigated using a series of eddy-permitting ocean–sea ice models.
