Spatiotemporal modelling of extreme wildfires and severe thunderstorm environments

Environmental extreme events can have devastating impacts on society when they interact with vulnerable human and natural systems. Such events can result from natural causes, like phenomena related to the El Ni~no-Southern Oscillation or decadal/multi-dec ...

Arctic atmospheric mercury: Sources and changes

Hélène Paule Angot

Global anthropogenic and legacy mercury (Hg) emissions are the main sources of Arctic Hg contamination, primarily transported there via the atmosphere. This review summarizes the state of knowledge of the global anthropogenic sources of Hg emissions, and e ...

Nonlinear reconstruction of bioclimatic outdoor-environment dynamics for the Lower Silesia region (SW Poland)

Paolo Perona

Measured meteorological time series are frequently used to obtain information 8 about climate dynamics. We use time series analysis and nonlinear system identification 9 methods in order to assess outdoor-environment bioclimatic conditions starting from th ...

Insights into the molecular composition of semi-volatile aerosols in the summertime central Arctic Ocean using FIGAERO-CIMS

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini

The remote central Arctic during summertime has a pristine atmosphere with very low aerosol particle concentrations. As the region becomes increasingly ice-free during summer, enhanced oceanatmosphere fluxes of aerosol particles and precursor gases may the ...

Laser photo-detachment combined with Langmuir probe in magnetized electronegative plasma: how the probe size affects the plasma dynamic?

Ivo Furno, Riccardo Agnello

Laser photo-detachment combined with a Langmuir probe (LP) is used to diagnose negative ion properties in electronegative plasmas. The technique relies on the combined use of a laser pulse and an LP. The laser pulse converts negative ions into electron-ato ...

Timescales of the Climate Record in the South Polar Ice Cap of Mars

Stepan Tulyakov, Nicolas Thomas

The South Polar Layered Deposits (SPLD) are the largest water ice reservoirs on Mars. Their accumulation is believed to result from climate oscillations that drive the movement of ice and dust on the surface. The High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment ...

Experimental Hydro-Mechanical Characterization of Full Load Pressure Surge in Francis Turbines

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Andres Müller, Keita Yamamoto

Full load pressure surge limits the operating range of hydro-electric generating units by causing significant power output swings and by compromising the safety of the plant. It appears during the off-design operation of hydraulic machines, which is increa ...

Greenland precipitation trends in a long-term instrumental climate context (1890-2012): evaluation of coastal and ice core records

Konrad Steffen

Here, we present an analysis of monthly, seasonal, and annual long-term precipitation time-series compiled from coastal meteorological stations in Greenland and Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) ice cores (including three new ice core records from ACT11D, Tunu201 ...

Demodulation of time series highlights impacts of hydrologic drivers on the Everglades ecosystem

Andrea Rinaldo

In the context of climatic uncertainty and potential climatic change, incorporating climatic variability and change in eco-hydrological analysis, as well as understanding the impact of such variability on ecosystems, is of crucial importance. The latter is ...

Atmospheric and oceanic climate forcing of the exceptional Greenland ice sheet surface melt in summer 2012

Konrad Steffen

The NASA announcement of record surface melting of the Greenland ice sheet in July 2012 led us to examine the atmospheric and oceanic climatic anomalies that are likely to have contributed to these exceptional conditions and also to ask the question of how ...

On the relationship between total ozone and atmospheric dynamics and chemistry at mid-latitudes - Part 2: The effects of the El Nino/Southern Oscillation, volcanic eruptions and contributions of atmospheric dynamics and chemistry to long-term total ozone changes

Anthony Christopher Davison, Linda Frossard

We present the first spatial analysis of "fingerprints" of the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and atmospheric aerosol load after major volcanic eruptions (El Chichon and Mt. Pinatubo) in extreme low and high (termed ELOs and EHOs, respectively) and me ...

On the relationship between total ozone and atmospheric dynamics and chemistry at mid-latitudes - Part 1: Statistical models and spatial fingerprints of atmospheric dynamics and chemistry

Anthony Christopher Davison, Linda Frossard

We use statistical models for mean and extreme values of total column ozone to analyze "fingerprints" of atmospheric dynamics and chemistry on long-term ozone changes at northern and southern mid-latitudes on grid cell basis. At each grid cell, the r-large ...

Variability of Winter Storminess in the Eastern United States during the Twentieth Century from Tide Gauges

Cédric René Jean Vonesch

Interannual to multidecadal variability of winter storminess in the eastern United States was studied using water level measurements from coastal tide gauges. The proximity to the coast of the primary winter storm track in the region allows the use of tide ...

Trends and shifts in streamflow in Hawai'i, 1913-2008

Maoya Bassiouni

This study addresses a need to document changes in streamflow and base flow (groundwater discharge to streams) in Hawaii during the past century. Statistically significant long-term (19132008) downward trends were detected (using the nonparametric MannKend ...

The El Nino-Southern Oscillation and wetland methane interannual variability

Jed Oliver Kaplan

Global measurements of atmospheric methane (CH4) concentrations continue to show large interannual variability whose origin is only partly understood. Here we quantify the influence of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on wetland CH4 emissions, which ...

Extreme events in total ozone over the Northern mid-latitudes: an analysis based on long-term data sets from five European ground-based stations

Anthony Christopher Davison

We apply methods from extreme value theory to identify extreme events in high (termed EHOs) and low (termed ELOs) total ozone and to describe the distribution tails (i.e. very high and very low values) of five long-term European ground-based total ozone ti ...

Heat and spin transport in magnetic nanowires

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Simon Granville

Transport measurements are carried out in which temperature oscillation is applied to magnetic nanostructures. Using spin valves, this measurement reveals aspects of the spin transport in non-collinear configurations. In one implementation, an AC voltage i ...

Orbital forcing and the role of the Latitudinal Temperature/Isolation Gradient

Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis

Orbital forcing of the climate system is clearly shown in the Earths record of glacial–interglacial cycles, but the mechanism underlying this forcing is poorly understood. Traditional Milankovitch theory suggests that these cycles are driven by changes in ...

Interannual variability in tropospheric ozone and its precursors : a modeling study constrained by long-term ground-based and satellite observations

Symeon Koumoutsaris

Tropospheric ozone (O3) is a harmful pollutant and an increasingly important green-house gas. Tropospheric O3 distributions are determined by complex and non-linear interactions between photochemistry and transport processes. The first objective of this th ...
