Are winters getting warmer?
We examine whether any trends in monthly temperatures are the same through-out the year for various lengthy series. The data concern the world, the northern and southern hemispheres, and about three centuries of data for the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. For the empirical exercise, we rely on new and accurate tests which have been recently developed. These tests do not have standard distr...
متن کاملWinter motion mediates dynamic response of the Greenland Ice Sheet to warmer summers
[1] We present ice velocities from a land-terminating transect extending >115 km into the western Greenland Ice Sheet during three contrasting melt years (2009–2011) to determine whether enhanced melting accelerates dynamic mass loss. We find no significant correlation between surface melt and annual ice flow. There is however a positive correlation between melt and summer ice displacement, but...
متن کاملLife in ice-covered oceans.
Recent evidence for salt-water oceans beneath the ice crusts of Europa and Callisto (1, 2) has bolstered speculation that these satellites of Jupiter may harbor life (3,4). Attention has focused on Europa. The geology and young age of its surface (5,6) and the predicted heat flow from radiogenic decay and tidal dissipation (7,8) suggest a geologically active interior and liquid water at shallow...
متن کاملStudents’ Perceived Heat-Health Symptoms Increased with Warmer Classroom Temperatures
Temperatures in Africa are expected to increase by the end of the century. Heat-related health impacts and perceived health symptoms are potentially a problem, especially in public schools with limited resources. Students (n = 252) aged ~14-18 years from eight high schools completed an hourly heat-health symptom log over 5 days. Data loggers measured indoor classroom temperatures. A high propor...
متن کاملAsymmetric effects of cooler and warmer winters on beech phenology last beyond spring.
In temperate trees, the timings of plant growth onset and cessation affect biogeochemical cycles, water, and energy balance. Currently, phenological studies largely focus on specific phenophases and on their responses to warming. How differently spring phenology responds to the warming and cooling, and affects the subsequent phases, has not been yet investigated in trees. Here, we exposed sapli...
