Continental moisture recycling as a Poisson process
On their journey over large land masses, water molecules experience a number of precipitation–evaporation cycles (recycling events). We derive analytically the frequency distributions of recycling events for the water molecules contained in a given air parcel. Given the validity of certain simplifying assumptions, the frequency distribution of recycling events is shown to develop either into a ...
متن کاملRevealing Invisible Photonic Inscriptions: Images from Strain
Photonic structural materials have received intensive interest and have been strongly developed over the past few years for image displays, sensing, and anticounterfeit materials. Their "smartness" arises from their color responsivity to changes of environment, strain, or external fields. Here, we introduce a novel invisible photonic system that reveals encrypted images or characters by simply ...
متن کاملHuman Health as an Ecosystem Service: A Conceptual Framework
To live in good health and, in many ways, to live at all, people need a wide array of life-support benefi ts that derive from ecosystems. Collectively these are called ecosystem services , a term referring to the conditions and processes through which ecosystems, and the species that make them up, sustain and fulfi ll human life (Ehrlich and Ehrlich 1981 ; Daily 1997 ; Millennium Ecosystem Asse...
متن کاملCould Payments for Ecosystem Services Create an "Ecosystem Service Curse"?
Payments for ecosystem services (PES) have received much praise and are increasingly perceived as a promising tool to ensure the protection of global ecosystems as well as being able to help alleviate poverty in areas rich in ecosystem services. Given current trends, the scale of payments is likely to grow, creating new circumstances within which ecosystem services will be managed. In this dyna...
متن کاملRole of continental recycling in intraseasonal variations of continental moisture as deduced from model simulations and water vapor isotopic measurements
[1] Climate models suggest an important role for land-atmosphere feedbacks on climate, but exhibit a large dispersion in the simulation of this role. We focus here on the role of continental recycling in the intraseasonal variability of continental moisture, and we explore the possibility of using water isotopic measurements to observationally constrain this role. Based on water tagging, we des...
