Integrating anthropogenic heat flux with global climate models
[1] Nearly all energy used for human purposes is dissipated as heat within Earth’s land–atmosphere system. Thermal energy released from non-renewable sources is therefore a climate forcing term. Averaged globally, this forcing is only +0.028 W m , but over the continental United States and western Europe, it is +0.39 and +0.68 W m , respectively. Here, present and future global inventories of a...
متن کاملA new global anthropogenic heat estimation based on high-resolution nighttime light data
Consumption of fossil fuel resources leads to global warming and climate change. Apart from the negative impact of greenhouse gases on the climate, the increasing emission of anthropogenic heat from energy consumption also brings significant impacts on urban ecosystems and the surface energy balance. The objective of this work is to develop a new method of estimating the global anthropogenic he...
متن کاملAnthropogenic heat flux: advisable spatial resolutions when input data are scarce
Anthropogenic heat flux (QF) may be significant in cities, especially under low solar irradiance and at night. It is of interest to many practitioners including meteorologists, city planners and climatologists. QF estimates at fine temporal and spatial resolution can be derived from models that use varying amounts of empirical data. This study compares simple and detailed models in a European m...
متن کاملA new, high-resolution global mass coral bleaching database
Episodes of mass coral bleaching have been reported in recent decades and have raised concerns about the future of coral reefs on a warming planet. Despite the efforts to enhance and coordinate coral reef monitoring within and across countries, our knowledge of the geographic extent of mass coral bleaching over the past few decades is incomplete. Existing databases, like ReefBase, are limited b...
متن کاملA global , self - consistent , hierarchical , high - resolution shoreline database
We present a high-resolution shoreline data set amalgamated from two databases in the public domain. The data have undergone xtensive processing and are free of internal inconsistencies such as erratic points and crossing segments. The shorelines are constructed entirely from hierarchically arranged closed polygons. The data can be used to simplify data searches and data selections or to study ...
