Dynamic Amplification of Subtropical Extreme Precipitation in a Warming Climate
Projected precipitation changes in a warming climate vary considerably, spatially, and between intensities. The changes can be greater or less than the ∼7% K−1 Clausius‐Clapeyron (CC) prediction, owing to dynamic effects.

Broad-scale spatial distribution patterns of soft-sediment macrobenthic communities in the Red Sea
In sub-tropical and tropical regions, the diversity patterns of soft-sediment macrobenthic communities are still poorly understood, particularly when compared to temperate shelf environments. The present study investigates spatial patterns of variability

A floristic comparison of three Northern Coastal Forests differing in disturbance history
Background: The impacts of disturbance history on the floristics of Northern Coastal Forest (NCF; South Africa) are unknown. Objectives: This study compared the floristics of three remnant patches of NCF (in KwaZulu-Natal) with contrasting disturbance ...

A Climatology of Tropospheric Zonal-Mean Water Vapor Fields and Fluxes in Isentropic Coordinates [PDF]
Based on reanalysis data for the years 1980–2001 from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ERA-40 data), a climatology of tropospheric zonal-mean water vapor fields and fluxes in isentropic coordinates is presented.

Seasonal differences in the photochemistry of the South Pacific: A comparison of observations and model results from PEM-Tropics A and B [PDF]
A time-dependent photochemical box model is used to examine the photochemistry of the equatorial and southern subtropical Pacific troposphere with aircraft data obtained during two distinct seasons: the Pacific Exploratory Mission-Tropics A (PEM-Tropics ...

The Mechanical Impact of the Tibetan Plateau on the Seasonal Evolution of the South Asian Monsoon [PDF]
The impact of the Tibetan Plateau on the South Asian monsoon is examined using a hierarchy of atmospheric general circulation models. During the premonsoon season and monsoon onset (April–June), when westerly winds over the Southern Tibetan Plateau are ...

Influence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation on upper tropospheric humidity [PDF]
Variations of upper tropospheric humidity (UTH) and cold cloud in the tropics reveal coherent changes that propagate eastward from the Indian Ocean into the Pacific. The coherence of UTH is high at periods of 30–90 days along the equator.
