Record‐breaking May heat in the UK: contrasting the extreme temperatures of 2024 and 1944 using climate attribution

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
This study quantifies the likelihood of May temperature extremes in present, natural (climatology based on pre‐industrial forcings) and future climates. The attribution applies in the context of a May heatwave comparable to the record‐breaking 1944 event and the persistent record‐breaking monthly‐mean temperature from 2024.

Out of Africa: An alternative scenario for the first human dispersal in Eurasia

open access: yesMètode Science Studies Journal: Annual Review, 2018
Recent paleoanthropological evidence from the early Pleistocene site of Dmanisi in Georgia has revealed that the first hominins out of Africa were more archaic than the coeval African and Asian Homo erectus.

Complex network based techniques to identify extreme events and (sudden) transitions in spatio-temporal systems

open access: yes, 2015
We present here two promising techniques for the application of the complex network approach to continuous spatio-temporal systems that have been developed in the last decade and show large potential for future application and development of complex ...

Characteristics of unique cap, Tsurushi and Hata clouds around Mount Fuji

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
Distinct clouds, such as cap clouds, Tsurushi (a type of lenticular cloud) and Hata (banner cloud‐like clouds), frequently form around Mount Fuji, an isolated peak with a slightly elliptical conical shape. Here, we examine their characteristics and occurrence patterns.

Replication and reinsertion of stalagmites sampled for paleoclimatic purposes

open access: yesInternational Journal of Speleology, 2018
Sampling stalagmites for paleoclimatic study can enter into conflict with preserving the beauty and integrity of caves. To minimize this impact, a variety of sampling strategies have been used by researches aware of cave-conservation issues. Based on our

Extreme rainfall in Madeira: the June 2023 weather event

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
This study investigates the meteorological conditions behind the extreme precipitation event on 6 June 2023 over Madeira Island, Portugal. The event set a national daily record of 497.5mm and was unusual for occurring in early summer, as most extremes in the region occur in winter.

CO2‐Dependence of Longwave Clear‐Sky Feedback Is Sensitive to Temperature

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
CO2 absorbs and emits radiation, which allows it to act both as radiative forcing and feedback. Recent work has shown CO2’s feedback effect becomes dominant in hothouse climates, giving rise to a non‐monotonic climate sensitivity around 310 K.

Sources and fates of silicon in the ocean: the role of diatoms in the climate and glacial cycles

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2001
Diatoms with their fast growth rates and obligate requirement for Si have a unique relationship to the oceanic Si cycle with the potential for controlling the nutrient and CO2 environment of large important areas of the ocean.

Studying Africa's hydroclimate history over the last 2000 years [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Water-resource availability is one of the most important environmental factors on which Africa’s agricultural societies are reliant. However, our knowledge of the natural background variability of rainfall and drought over Africa is currently still ...
