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 ...

Exploring the link between austral stratospheric polar vortex anomalies and surface climate in chemistry-climate models

Nora Bergner

Extreme events in the stratospheric polar vortex can lead to changes in the tropospheric circulation and impact the surface climate on a wide range of timescales. The austral stratospheric vortex shows its largest variability in spring, and a weakened pola ...

Snapshots of mean ocean temperature over the last 700,000 yr using noble gases in the EPICA Dome C ice core

Adrien Michel

Together with the latent heat stored in glacial ice sheets the ocean heat uptake carries the lion’s share of glacial/interglacial changes in the planetary heat content but little direct information on the global mean ocean temperature (MOT) is available to ...

The Importance of Systematic Spatial Variability in the Surface Heat Flux of a Large Lake: A Multiannual Analysis for Lake Geneva

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Andrea Cimatoribus, Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi

The spatiotemporal surface heat flux (SurHF) distribution over Lake Geneva, the largest lake in Western Europe, was estimated for a 7‐year period (2008–2014). Data sources included hourly maps of over‐the‐lake assimilated meteorological data from a validat ...

Dimensionality Reduction and Network Inference for Climate Data Using delta-MAPS: Application to the CESM Large Ensemble Sea Surface Temperature

Athanasios Nenes

A framework for analyzing and benchmarking climate model outputs is built upon delta-MAPS, a recently developed complex network analysis method. The framework allows for the possibility of highlighting quantifiable topological differences across data sets, ...

Surface Water Temperature Heterogeneity at Subpixel Satellite Scales and Its Effect on the Surface Cooling Estimates of a Large Lake: Airborne Remote Sensing Results From Lake Geneva

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi

The dynamics of spatial heterogeneity of lake surface water temperature (LSWT) at subpixel satellite scale O(1 m) and its effect on the surface cooling estimation at typical satellite pixel areas O(1 km2) were investigated using an airborne platform. The m ...

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 ...

GRUN: an observation-based global gridded runoff dataset from 1902 to 2014

Gionata Ghiggi, Vincent Humphrey

Freshwater resources are of high societal relevance, and understanding their past variability is vital to water management in the context of ongoing climate change. This study introduces a global gridded monthly reconstruction of runoff covering the period ...

Large-scale and meso-scale surface heat flux patterns of Lake Geneva

Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi

Diverse studies have confirmed the adverse impact of global climate change in lakes. In order to establish effective water quality management policies, it is essential to understand how the heat exchange between the atmosphere and the lake evolves under th ...

Spruce tree-ring proxy signals during cold and warm periods

The strength and temporal rigidity of climate signals are important characteristics of proxy data used to reconstruct climate variability over pre-instrumental periods. Here, we assess the performance of different tree-ring proxies, including ring width, m ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
