Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow, flood, earth system model
Improvements in modelling power and input data have vastly improved the precision of physical flood models, but translation into economic outputs requires depth-damage functions that are inadequately verified. In particular, flood damage is widely assumed to increase monotonically with water depth. Here, we assess flood vulnerability in the US using >2 million claims from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). NFIP claims data are messy, but the size of the dataset provides powerful emp…

miR156 is a conserved microRNA whose role and induction mechanisms under stress are poorly known. Strigolactones are phytohormones needed in shoots for drought acclimation. They promote stomatal closure ABA-dependently and independently; however, downstream effectors for the former have not been identified. Linkage between miR156 and strigolactones under stress has not been reported. We compared ABA accumulation and sensitivity as well as performances of wt and miR156-overexpressing (miR156-o…
Adaptive genetic variation to drought in a widely distributed conifer suggests a potential for increasing forest resilience in a drying climate

Matched topics: drought, earth system model
Drought intensity and frequency are increasing under global warming, with soil water availability now being a major factor limiting tree growth in circumboreal forests. Still, the adaptive capacity of trees in the face of future climatic regimes remains poorly documented. Using 1481 annually resolved tree-ring series from 29-yr-old trees, we evaluated the drought sensitivity of 43 white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) populations established in a common garden experiment. We show that gen…

Abstract The awareness of drought and its impacts on Central Europe increased after the significant drought episodes in 2000, 2003, 2012 and 2015, which were all estimated to have caused over 500 million Euro in damage in the Czech Republic alone. These events indicated the need for timely and high‐resolution monitoring tools that would enable analysing, monitoring and forecasting of drought events. Monitoring soil water availability in near real time and at high‐resolution (up to 0.5 × 0.5 k…

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, streamflow, reservoir, water management, hydropower, earth system model
Abstract. Medium- to long-range forecasts often guide reservoir release decisions to support water management objectives, including mitigating flood and drought risks. While there is a burgeoning field of science targeted at improving forecast products and associated decision support models, data describing how and when forecasts are applied in practice remain undeveloped. This lack of knowledge may prevent hydrological modelers from developing accurate reservoir release schemes for large-sca…

Past warming trend constrains future warming in CMIP6 models
Authors: Katarzyna Tokarska, Martin B. Stolpe, Sebastian Sippel, Erich Fischer, Chris Smith, Flavio Lehner et al.
Journal: Science Advances · DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aaz9549 · Citations: 744
Matched topics: land surface model, earth system model
Future global warming estimates have been similar across past assessments, but several climate models of the latest Sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) simulate much stronger warming, apparently inconsistent with past assessments. Here, we show that projected future warming is correlated with the simulated warming trend during recent decades across CMIP5 and CMIP6 models, enabling us to constrain future warming based on consistency with the observed warming. These findings car…

Abstract We examine data continuity between the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and GRACE Follow‐On (FO) missions over Greenland and Antarctica using independent data from the mass budget method, which calculates the difference between ice sheet surface mass balance and ice discharge at the periphery. For both ice sheets, we find consistent GRACE/GRACE‐FO time series across the data gap, at the continental and regional scales, and the data gap is confidently filled with mass b…

The Andes is the longest cordillera in the world and extends from northern South America (11°N) to the southern tip of the continent (53°S). The Andes runs through seven countries and is characterized by a wide variety of ecosystems strongly related to the contrasting climate over its eastern and western sides and along its latitudinal extension. In fact, the tropical Andes is the most biodiverse region on Earth. Currently, this region faces the highest potential impact of climate change, whi…
Causal networks for climate model evaluation and constrained projections
Authors: Peer Nowack, Jakob Runge, Veronika Eyring, Joanna D. Haigh
Journal: Nature Communications · DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-15195-y · Citations: 180
Matched topics: earth system model
Global climate models are central tools for understanding past and future climate change. The assessment of model skill, in turn, can benefit from modern data science approaches. Here we apply causal discovery algorithms to sea level pressure data from a large set of climate model simulations and, as a proxy for observations, meteorological reanalyses. We demonstrate how the resulting causal networks (fingerprints) offer an objective pathway for process-oriented model evaluation. Models with …

The Andes is the most biodiverse region across the globe. In addition, some of the largest urban areas in South America are located within this region. Therefore, ecosystems and human population are affected by hydroclimate changes reported at global, regional and local scales. This paper summarizes progress of knowledge about long-term trends observed during the last two millennia over the entire Andes, with more detail for the period since the second half of the 20th century, and presents a…
Warmer climate projections in EC-Earth3-Veg: the role of changes in the greenhouse gas concentrations from CMIP5 to CMIP6
Authors: Klaus Wyser, Erik Kjellström, Torben Koenigk, Helena Martins, Ralf Döscher
Journal: Environmental Research Letters · DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ab81c2 · Citations: 129
Matched topics: earth system model
Abstract Climate projections for the 21st century for CMIP6 are warmer than those for CMIP5 despite nominally identical instantaneous radiative forcing. Many climate modeling groups attribute the stronger warming in the CMIP6 projections to the higher climate sensitivity of the new generation of climate models, but here we demonstrate that also changes in the forcing datasets can play an important role, in particular the prescribed concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) that are used to for…

Twenty-first century ocean forcing of the Greenland ice sheet for modelling of sea level contribution
Authors: Donald Slater, F. Denis, Fiammetta Straneo, Heiko Goelzer, Christopher M. Little, Mathieu Morlighem et al.
Journal: The cryosphere · DOI: 10.5194/tc-14-985-2020 · Citations: 107
Matched topics: hydrology, earth system model
Abstract. Changes in ocean temperature and salinity are expected to be an important determinant of the Greenland ice sheet’s future sea level contribution. Yet, simulating the impact of these changes in continental-scale ice sheet models remains challenging due to the small scale of key physics, such as fjord circulation and plume dynamics, and poor understanding of critical processes, such as calving and submarine melting. Here we present the ocean forcing strategy for Greenland ice sheet mo…

Abstract. FLUXNET comprises globally distributed eddy-covariance-based estimates of carbon fluxes between the biosphere and the atmosphere. Since eddy covariance flux towers have a relatively small footprint and are distributed unevenly across the world, upscaling the observations is necessary to obtain global-scale estimates of biosphere–atmosphere exchange. Based on cross-consistency checks with atmospheric inversions, sun-induced fluorescence (SIF) and dynamic global vegetation models (DGV…
The Ability of Conservation Agriculture to Conserve Soil Organic Carbon and the Subsequent Impact on Soil Physical, Chemical, and Biological Properties and Yield

Increases in human populations and the emerging challenges of climate change mean that the world’s agricultural systems will need to produce more food in an environment that is increasingly variable and where the quality of our natural resource base is declining. One central measure of an agricultural system’s capacity to do this is its ability to preserve soil organic carbon (SOC), due to the pivotal role that this plays in maintaining soil physical, chemical and biological properties and ul…

Abstract Launched in May 2018, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow‐On mission (GRACE‐FO)—the successor of the erstwhile GRACE mission—monitors changes in total water storage, which is a critical state variable of the regional and global hydrologic cycles. However, the gap between data of the two missions is breaking the continuity of the observations and limiting its further application. In this study, we used three learning‐based models, that is, deep neural network, multiple …

Moreover, the introduction of ionic liquid moiety (imidazolium tetrafluoroborate) into VMP results in its interesting superhydrophilic wettability, which can accelerate water transportation (wetting in 5s) and resolve the crystalline salt within 1.13 h. In addition, the interconnected macropores of the VMP, as water channels, can replenish the vaporized brine on the surface to prevent salt from adhering. The VMP shows a salt-resistant performance, for example, its solar evaporati…

A limited nuclear war between India and Pakistan could ignite fires large enough to emit more than 5 Tg of soot into the stratosphere. Climate model simulations have shown severe resulting climate perturbations with declines in global mean temperature by 1.8 °C and precipitation by 8%, for at least 5 y. Here we evaluate impacts for the global food system. Six harmonized state-of-the-art crop models show that global caloric production from maize, wheat, rice, and soybean falls by 13 (±1)%, 11 …
A Machine Learning-Based Approach for Wildfire Susceptibility Mapping. The Case Study of the Liguria Region in Italy

Journal: Geosciences · DOI: 10.3390/geosciences10030105 · Citations: 136
Matched topics: land surface model, earth system model
Wildfire susceptibility maps display the spatial probability of an area to burn in the future, based solely on the intrinsic local proprieties of a site. Current studies in this field often rely on statistical models, often improved by expert knowledge for data retrieving and processing. In the last few years, machine learning algorithms have proven to be successful in this domain, thanks to their capability of learning from data through the modeling of hidden relationships. In the present st…
Seasonal hysteresis of surface urban heat islands
Authors: G. Manoli, S. Fatichi, E. Bou‐Zeid, G. Katul
Journal: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America · DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1917554117 · Citations: 136
Matched topics: seasonal
Significance Urban heat islands represent a major threat to public health with implications for energy consumption and climate adaptation policies. A ubiquitous feature in the seasonality of surface urban heat islands (SUHIs) is distinctive hysteretic cycles between urban and rural surface temperature that still await a general explanation. A coarse-grained model of SUHI serving as a minimalist representation of urban–rural seasonal dynamics based on urban scaling laws and mass/energy conserv…

Concept and Performance Evaluation of a Novel UAV-Borne Topo-Bathymetric LiDAR Sensor
Authors: Gottfried Mandlburger, Martin Pfennigbauer, Roland Schwarz, Sebastian Mikolka-Flöry, Lukas Nussbaumer
Journal: Remote Sensing · DOI: 10.3390/rs12060986 · Citations: 129
Matched topics: hydrology
We present the sensor concept and first performance and accuracy assessment results of a novel lightweight topo-bathymetric laser scanner designed for integration on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), light aircraft, and helicopters. The instrument is particularly well suited for capturing river bathymetry in high spatial resolution as a consequence of (i) the low nominal flying altitude of 50–150 m above ground level resulting in a laser footprint diameter on the ground of typically 10–30 cm a…
A better Amazon road network for people and the environment

The rapidly expanding network of roads into the Amazon is permanently altering the world’s largest tropical forest. Most proposed road projects lack rigorous impact assessments or even basic economic justification. This study analyzes the expected environmental, social and economic impacts of 75 road projects, totaling 12 thousand kilometers of planned roads, in the region. We find that all projects, although in different magnitudes, will negatively impact the environment. Forty-five percent …
Role of delta‐front erosion in sustaining salt marshes under sea‐level rise and fluvial sediment decline
Authors: Shi Lun Yang, Xiangxin Luo, Stijn Temmerman, Matthew L. Kirwan, Tjeerd J. Bouma, Kehui Xu et al.
Journal: Limnology and Oceanography · DOI: 10.1002/lno.11432 · Citations: 122
Matched topics: earth system model
Abstract Accelerating sea‐level rise and decreasing riverine sediment supply are widely considered to lead to global losses of deltaic marshes and their valuable ecosystem services. However, little is known about the degree to which the related erosion of the seaward delta front can provide sediments to sustain salt marshes. Here, we present data from the mesomacrotidal Yangtze Delta demonstrating that marshes have continued to accrete vertically and laterally, despite rapid relative sea‐leve…

Deep learning has already been proved as a powerful state-of-the-art technique for many image understanding tasks in computer vision and other applications including remote sensing (RS) image analysis. Unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) offer a viable and economical alternative to a conventional sensor and platform for acquiring high spatial and high temporal resolution data with high operational flexibility. Coastal wetlands are among some of the most challenging and complex ecosystems for lan…
