Potential impacts of aerosol–land–atmosphere interactions on the Indian monsoonal rainfall characteristics
Aerosols can affect the cloud-radiation feedback and the precipitation over the Indian monsoon region. In this paper, we propose that another pathway by which aerosols can modulate the multi-scale aspect of Indian monsoons is by altering the land–atmosphere interactions. The nonlinear feedbacks due to aerosol/diffuse radiation on coupled interactions over the Indian monsoon region are studied b...
متن کاملQuantification of Land-Atmosphere Coupling and Implications for Drought Persistence In Observations and Model Simulations of 20th Century Climate and 21st Century Climate Change
Of all recurring natural disasters, long-term drought is one of the most devastating and costly due to large spatial extent and often long duration. The mechanisms responsible for the maintenance of long-term droughts are not well understood, however many drought analyses allege the importance of land-atmosphere feedbacks and speculate that these feedbacks will amplify changes in the hydrologic...
متن کاملThe Theory of Ecology
Human infl uences on ecological drivers are increasingly recognized as dominant processes across a range of spatial and temporal scales. Regional to global-scale changes in drivers and important resources, such as atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, climate, and nitrogen deposition, are known to alter biotic structure, ecosystem function, and biogeochemical processes with feedbacks to hu...
متن کاملFrom biota to chemistry and climate: towards a comprehensive description of trace gas exchange between the biosphere and atmosphere
Exchange of non-CO2 trace gases between the land surface and the atmosphere plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry and climate. Recent studies have highlighted its importance for interpretation of glacial-interglacial ice-core records, the simulation of the pre-industrial and present atmosphere, and the potential for large climate-chemistry and climate-aerosol feedbacks in the coming ...
متن کاملUnderstanding protected area resilience: a multi-scale, social-ecological approach.
Protected areas (PAs) remain central to the conservation of biodiversity. Classical PAs were conceived as areas that would be set aside to maintain a natural state with minimal human influence. However, global environmental change and growing cross-scale anthropogenic influences mean that PAs can no longer be thought of as ecological islands that function independently of the broader social-eco...
