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 ...

Multidecadal glacio-hydrological modelling of Parlung No.4 catchment, Tibet

Glaciers are key components of the water towers of Asia and, as such, are relied upon by large downstream communities for domestic, agricultural and industrial uses. They store snow and ice during cold periods and release it as water during warm periods - ...

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, ...

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 ...

Investigation of subglacial weathering under the Greenland Ice Sheet using silicon isotopes

Subglacial chemical weathering plays a key role in global silicate weathering budgets, contributing to the cycling of silicon (Si) in terrestrial and marine systems and the potential drawdown of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Here, we use data from tw ...

On the fine vertical structure of the low troposphere over the coastal margins of East Antarctica

Alexis Berne, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

In this study, 8 years of high-resolution radiosonde data at nine Antarctic stations are analysed to provide the first large-scale characterization of the fine vertical structure of the low troposphere up to 3 km altitude over the coastal margins of East A ...

Hydrodynamics of a periodically wind‑forced small and narrow stratified basin: a large‑eddy simulation experiment

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Oscar Rodrigo Sepúlveda Steiner, Serban George Constantinescu, Kyoung Sik Chang

We report novel results of a numerical experiment designed for examining the basin-scale hydrodynamics that control the mass, momentum, and energy distribution in a daily wind-forced, small thermally-stratified basin. For this purpose, the 3-D Boussinesq e ...

Statistical link between external climate forcings and modes of ocean variability

Paolo Perona

In this study we investigate statistical link between external climate forcings and modes of ocean variability on inter-annual (3-year) to centennial (100-year) timescales using de-trended semi-partial-cross-correlation analysis technique. To investigate t ...

Climate-driven endemic cholera is modulated by human mobility in a megacity

Andrea Rinaldo, Francisco Javier Perez Saez

Although a differential sensitivity of cholera dynamics to climate variability has been reported in the spatially heterogeneous megacity of Dhaka, Bangladesh, the specific patterns of spread of the resulting risk within the city remain unclear. We build on ...

The influence of atmospheric circulation on the mid-Holocene climate of Europe: a data-model comparison

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis, Pamela Collins

The atmospheric circulation is a key area of uncertainty in climate model simulations of future climate change, especially in mid-latitude regions such as Europe where atmospheric dynamics have a significant role in climate variability. It has been propose ...
