The Next Decade of Seismic Oceanography: Possibilities, Challenges and Solutions

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Seismic reflection profiling of thermohaline structure has the potential to transform our understanding of oceanic mixing and circulation. This profiling, which is known as seismic oceanography, yields acoustic images that extend from the sea surface to ...

Post‐Processed CMIP6 Climate Projections for Hydro‐Environmental Risk Assessment in the Middle East and Central Asia

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Estimating water resources is important for regional climate impact analysis and risk estimation. The Middle East and Central Asia have largely reached the limit of sustainably usable water across their river basins and ecosystems. Strategies designed to mitigate environmental risks require a reliable estimation of water availability trends.

Challenges and Opportunities in the Integrated Economic and Oceanographic Analysis of Deoxygenation Impacts on Marine Fisheries and Ecosystems

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
We argue that a multidisciplinary approach is essential to identify deoxygenation impacts on marine ecosystems and fisheries, bridging across the traditionally separate fields of oceanography and economics.

Assessing Climate Change Impacts on Runoff Variability and Extremes in China Using High‐Resolution Simulations

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Future runoff in China shows strong regional and seasonal disparities, with the Southeast basin seeing the largest increase in annual runoff. Wetter summers and drier winters are expected in the south, whilst the northwest will face the opposite. Over 56% of regions are expected to experience more extreme high runoff, and over 40% face intensified low ...

Seasonal Predictions and Their Applications in the Mediterranean Region: Part I—Sources of Predictability and Prediction Skill

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The ability to predict climate fluctuations at seasonal timescales offers significant socio‐economic benefits. However, limited understanding of predictability mechanisms and model errors hinders forecast quality. Recent research has improved forecasting systems and data quality.

Evapotranspiration Profiles and Trends in Seasonally Dry and Seasonally Humid Tropical Forests

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Moisture availability and vegetation are decisive factors in ET variations, which are greater in the Atlantic Forest. Precipitation contributes positively to ET variations (r = 0.20–0.67). Significant trends (p < 0.05) in ET were identified, with opposing patterns.

Seasonal Variability of Key Climate Parameters in the Mediterranean Region: Distinct Features From A Long‐Term (1940–2023) Analysis

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The intra‐annual variability of the Mediterranean climate does not include an even transition from winter to summer regime and vice versa. A detailed examination of the long‐term (84 years) mean intra‐annual variations of key parameters reveals remarkable and climatologically important peculiarities. ABSTRACT The intra‐annual variability of atmospheric

Compound Hot‐Dry Days (CHDDs) and Their Implications on Maize Yields in the Free State Province, South Africa

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Compound hot‐dry events occurring during the maize growing period are increasing significantly (p < 0.05) with time, with the median values ranging from 93 to 120 days. El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influences the variability of compound hot‐dry events with high significance (p < 0.05) positive Pearson correlation.

Evaluation of CMIP6 Models in Simulating Australian Monsoon Over Northern Australia

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The study assesses CMIP6 models for their ability to simulate key aspects of the Australian summer monsoon, including precipitation patterns, wind circulation, monsoon onset/retreat, and ENSO teleconnections. Most models overestimate rainfall, underestimate wind strength, and simulate more uniform ENSO influence across northeast and northwest Australia.
