Assessing the Performance of the Copernicus European Regional Reanalysis Dataset in Reproducing Extreme Weather Events in Poland

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Global reanalyses, for example ERA5 and ERA5‐Land, tend to misrepresent the local‐scale weather extremes due to the limited spatial resolution. In this paper CERRA shows clear and consistent improvements over ERA5 and ERA5‐Land in representing extreme temperature and precipitation in Poland, particularly for localized and short‐lived heavy rainfall ...

Paleogeographical reconstruction of the western French Alps foreland during the last glacial maximum using cosmogenic exposure dating [PDF]

, 2022
International audienceAbstract The extent of glaciers in the western French Alps foreland during the last glacial maximum (LGM, 26.5–19 ka) has not yet been determined, so understanding glacial paleogeography during the LGM remains an open question. This

Observed Linkages Between Marine Heatwaves and Extreme Weather Over Land: A New Zealand Case Study

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Marine heatwaves consistently warm New Zealand's land surface, but rainfall impacts occur only when synoptic systems enable moisture transport. This 38‐year analysis shows MHWs act as thermodynamic background drivers of heat and conditional amplifiers of extreme rainfall events or droughts.

Explanatory notes to the map: metamorphic structure of the Alps transition from the western Central Alps. [PDF]

, 2004
The northern-western Alps, located between two major tectonic structures, the Simplon and the Aosta-Ranzolla faults, represent a "transition” zone where all paleogeographic domains involved within the alpine orogenic wedge are present and clearly ...

Climatology and Trends of Sub‐Daily Precipitation Extremes in Croatia

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Sub‐daily extreme precipitation indices reveal pronounced spatial variability, with the highest intensities and frequencies across the Adriatic region and the highlands. Seasonal and diurnal patterns highlight distinct regional behaviour, including summer maxima over the continental interior and nocturnal or early‐morning peaks along the Adriatic coast.

Global Positioning System Network monitors the western Alps [PDF]

, 1995
International audienceA high‐precision GPS network was installed in the Western Alps in September 1993 to map the movement of the African and Eurasian plates in the Mediterranean region. The GPS measurements will explain how convergence is distributed in

Kinematics of the Helminthoid Flysch–Marguareis Unit tectonic coupling: consequences for the tectonic evolution of Western Ligurian Alps

Comptes Rendus. Géoscience, 2022
We investigated the kinematics of the coupled Helminthoid Flysch–Marguareis Unit outcropping in the High Tanaro Valley in order to constraint the tectonic evolution of the Western Ligurian Alps.

Spatiotemporal Changes and Climate Driving Factors of Compound Precipitation‐Temperature Extreme Events Across Global Land Areas

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
During the period 1901–2024, the dominant proportion of compound dry‐warm extremes in annual, June–July–August (JJA), and December–January–February (DJF) occurrences was the highest among the four types of compound precipitation and temperature extremes across global land areas, accounting for 40.1%, 50.3%, and 28.0%, respectively.

Quantification of landscape evolution on multiple time-scales [PDF]

, 2012
Essential information about the activity or even the mechanics of tectonic and erosional processes can be extracted from their surface expression. For this purpose, it is necessary to appropriately constrain the temporal as well as the spatial framework,

Present in the western European Alps but absent in the eastern part: Can habitat availability explain the differences in red‐billed chough occurrence? [PDF]

, 2021
The absence of a species in apparently suitable regions is often attributed to habitat deterioration, which, according to the IUCN-guidelines, would preclude reintroduction unless the habitat is sufficiently restored.
