Seasonal variability and predictability of agro-meteorological indices: Tailoring onset of rainy season estimation to meet farmers’ needs in Ghana

open access: yesClimate Services, 2019
Reliable information on onset of the rainy season is important for local agriculture planning in Ghana. We examine the (i) trend and variability of onset in local observations to better understand the need for onset forecast information and (ii ...

Greenland Ice Sheet Response to Stratospheric Aerosol Injection Geoengineering

open access: yesEarth's Future, 2019
The Greenland ice sheet is expected lose at least 90% of its current volume if ice sheet summer temperatures warm by around 1.8 °C above pre‐industrial. Geoengineering by stratospheric sulfate aerosol injection might slow Greenland ice sheet melting and ...

Tipping points in open systems: bifurcation, noise-induced and rate-dependent examples in the climate system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Tipping points associated with bifurcations (B-tipping) or induced by noise (N-tipping) are recognized mechanisms that may potentially lead to sudden climate change.
