This study describes the characteristics of the cross-equatorial northerly surge (CENS), a northerly flow that appears intermittently over the equatorial region between October and April, and its relationship to the precipitation patterns over the Maritime Continent. The CENS in this study was defined as the area-averaged northerly wind exceeding 5 m s 1 over 105 E–115 E, 5 S–EQ based on the Qu...

Ecologists frequently use physiological tools to understand how organisms cope with their surroundings but rarely at macroecological scales. This study describes spatial variation in corticosterone (CORT) levels in feathers of invasive house sparrows (Passer domesticus) across their range in Mexico and evaluates CORT-climate relationships with a focus on temperature and precipitation. Samples w...

Abstract. The continental divide along the spine of Canadian Rockies in southwestern Canada is a critical headwater region for hydrological drainages to Pacific, Arctic, and Atlantic oceans. Major flooding events are typically attributed heavy precipitation on its eastern side due upslope (easterly) flows. Precipitation can also occur western when moisture originating from Pacific Ocean encount...

We present simultaneous riometer observations of cosmic noise absorption in the nightside and dawn-noon sectors during sawtooth particle injections during 18 April 2002. Energetic electron precipitation (>30 keV) is a feature of magnetospheric substorms and cosmic radio noise absorption acts as a proxy for qualitatively measuring this precipitation. This event provides an opportunity to compare...

In this study, the effects of precipitation on Anomalocardia flexuosa densities were analyzed from perspective temporal delays between variables. The collections occurred bi-monthly April 2016 and February 2018 at Mangue Seco beach, Pernambuco, Brazil. Total according to category size (small, medium large), with autocorrelation cross-correlation functions, a retrospective analysis up 12 months....

The Cerrado-Amazon Transition region has a high deforested area in Brazil. Given the importance of forest maintaining climate this region, were evaluated patterns micrometeorological variables forested and areas Mato Grosso, Precipitation, solar radiation, average, minimum maximum air temperature, relative humidity, soil temperature wind speed measured into (FOR) (DEF). Precipitation studied hy...

Empirical orthogonal functions (EOF) and composites analysis were employed on pentad data in order to investigate the tropical atmospheric-ocean patterns over the Atlantic Ocean and the spatial-temporal characteristics of the rainfall in eastern Amazon during the peak of the rainy season (February to April). The EOF results evidenced that the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is the main ra...

Earlywood vessel lumen areas were measured in 72 consecutive tree rings in wood cores from oak (Quercus robur L.) trees in a maritime woodland. This anatomical time series was statistically correlated with climate data for the same time span. There was a strong dependence of earlywood vessel lumen area on rainfall between February and April, which reflects the role of water availability in vess...
