Continuous satellite-derived cloud records now extend over three decades, and are increasingly used for climate applications. Certain applications, such as trend detection, require a clear understanding of uncertainty as it relates to establishing statistical significance. The use of reanalysis products as sources of ancillary data could be construed as one such source of uncertainty, as there ...

A reconstruction of Antarctic monthly mean near-surface temperatures spanning 1958–2012 is presented. Its primary goal is to take advantage of a recently revised key temperature record fromWestAntarctica (Byrd) to shed further light on multidecadal temperature changes in this region. The spatial interpolation relies on a kriging technique aided by spatiotemporal temperature covariances derived ...

The equivalency between the power law behavior of Multiscale Entropy (MSE) and of power spectra opens a promising path for interpretation of complex time-series, which is explored here for the first time for atmospheric fields. Additionally, the present manuscript represents a new independent empirical validation of such relationship, the first one for the atmosphere. The MSE-fractal relationsh...

[1] Trends in the position of the DJF Austral jet have been analyzed for multimodel ensemble simulations of a subset of highand low-top models for the periods 1960–2000, 2000–2050, and 2050–2098 under the CMIP5 historical, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 scenarios. Comparison with ERA-Interim, CFSR and the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis shows that the DJF and annual mean jet positions in CMIP5 models are equatorward ...

4 Trends in the position of the DJF Austral jet have been analysed for 5 multi-model ensemble simulations of a subset of highand low-top models 6 for the periods 1960-2000, 2000-2050, and 2050-2098 under the CMIP5 his7 torical, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 scenarios. Comparison with ERA-Interim, 8 CFSR and the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis shows that the DJF and annual 9 mean jet positions in CMIP5 models are equ...

Energy is the key mover for any country’s development. In today’s era, demand energy rapidly increasing and cost of power also due to lack fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil). To overcome worst crises non-renewable resources, present solution move towards renewable energy. Sindh a province Pakistan that has immense capability prospect neat green production. The major locations resources are found in ...

In this article we assess the sensitivity of numerical simulations radioactive 137Cs contamination Ukraine caused by Chornobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986 to input meteorological data. The atmospheric transport, dispersion, and deposition (dry scavenging rain washout) aerosols was simulated using CALPUFF dispersion model. source parameterization emissions during active phase catastroph...

Hydrological modelling requires accurate climate data with high spatial-temporal resolution, which is often unavailable in certain parts of the world—such as Central America. Numerous studies have previously demonstrated that hydrological modelling, global weather reanalysis provides a viable alternative to observed data. However, calibrating and validating models use discharge data, also frequ...
