Atmospheric rivers (ARs) generate most of the economic losses associated with flooding in the western United States and are projected to increase in intensity with climate change. This is of concern as flood damages have been shown to increase exponentially with AR intensity. To assess how AR-related flood damages are likely to respond to climate change, we constructed county-level damage models for the western 11 conterminous states using 40 years of flood insurance data linked to characteri…

Weather extremes can affect many different assets, sectors and systems of the human environment, including human security, health and well-being. Weather extremes that compound, such as heat and drought, and their interconnected risks are complex, difficult to understand and thus a challenge for risk analysis and management, because (in intertwined systems) impacts can propagate through multiple sectors. In a warming climate, extreme concurrent heat and drought events are expected to increase…

Abstract Climate change is increasing the severity and frequency of droughts around the globe, leading to tree mortality that reduces production and provision of other ecosystem services. Recent studies show that growth of mixed stands may be more resilient to drought than pure stands. The two most economically important and widely distributed tree species in Europe are Norway spruce ( Picea abies (L.) Karst) and Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L.), but little is known about their susceptibilit…

. year. Six of fifty reservoirs studied (Quarto, Colombara, Ceppo Morelli, Fusino, Vodo and Valle di Cadore) are already in a very critical situation in terms of storage capacity loss. Out of the fifty reservoirs, half of them will reach their half-life year by 2050. For example, for the Fusino reservoir located in northern Italy, we observed a loss of 90% of the storage volume as of 2020 with respect to its operation year 1974, compared to 6% in 2015 as available in literature. Modelling the…

The problem of hazardous chemicals in geothermal fluid is a critical environmental concern in geothermal energy developments. Boron is among the hazardous contaminants reported to be present at high concentrations in geothermal fluids in various countries. Poor management and inadequate treatment of geothermal fluids can release excessive boron to the environment that has toxic effects on plants, humans, and animals. Despite the importance of boron management in geothermal fluid, limited and …

Matched topics: surface water
Water scarcity is an acute worldwide problem with increasing frequency even in the developed countries of Europe. Nature has inspired scientists to carry out atmospheric water harvesting both from fog and dew on surfaces of extreme wettability or biphilic surfaces (surfaces with hydrophilic and hydrophobic patterns). Literature reports exhibit large variation and contradictory results. Herein, we systematically study the effect of the different biphilic shapes on both dew and fog harvesting, …

Journal: Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres · DOI: 10.1029/2021jd036411 · Citations: 47
Matched topics: earth system model
Abstract Maritime boundary‐layer clouds over the Southern Ocean (SO) have a large shortwave radiative effect. Yet, climate models have difficulties in representing these clouds and, especially, their phase in this observationally sparse region. This study aims to increase the knowledge of SO cloud phase by presenting in‐situ cloud microphysical observations from the Southern Ocean Clouds, Radiation, Aerosol, Transport Experimental Study (SOCRATES). We investigate the occurrence of ice in summ…
Monitoring spatial and temporal dynamics of wetland vegetation and their response to hydrological conditions in a large seasonal lake with time series Landsat data
Authors: Huanhua Peng, Haonan Xia, Qian Shi, Hao Chen, Nan Chu, Liang Ji et al.
Journal: Ecological Indicators · DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2022.109283 · Citations: 45
Matched topics: hydrologic model, seasonal
Periodic hydrological processes of seasonal lakes are the dominant factors leading to the development of vegetation communities and ecological processes. Dongting Lake is a typical seasonal lake in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and its hydrological conditions have changed significantly due to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD). However, there are knowledge gaps in the responses of wetland vegetation dynamics to the changes of hydrological conditions, especially…
Sorbents for Atmospheric Water Harvesting: From Design Principles to Applications

Matched topics: water management
Abstract Water scarcity caused by climate change and population growth poses a grave threat to human society. Of the different water purification technologies put forward, one presents a promising strategy that is spatially or temporally non‐restricted—atmospheric water harvesting (AWH). Here we review recent progress in the design and study of AWH sorbents, ranging from the innovative chemistries to the integration of sophisticated architectures and functional components, and clarify the str…
Incorporating Uncertainty Into a Regression Neural Network Enables Identification of Decadal State‐Dependent Predictability in CESM2
Authors: Emily M Gordon, Elizabeth A. Barnes
Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2022gl098635 · Citations: 44
Matched topics: earth system model
Abstract Predictable internal climate variability on decadal timescales (2–10 years) is associated with large‐scale oceanic processes, however these predictable signals may be masked by the noisy climate system. One approach to overcoming this problem is investigating state‐dependent predictability—how differences in prediction skill depend on the initial state of the system. We present a machine learning approach to identify state‐dependent predictability on decadal timescales in the Communi…
A Spatial Downscaling Method for Remote Sensing Soil Moisture Based on Random Forest Considering Soil Moisture Memory and Mass Conservation
Authors: Taoning Mao, Wei Shangguan, Qingliang Li, Lu Li, Ye Zhang, Feini Huang et al.
Journal: Remote Sensing · DOI: 10.3390/rs14163858 · Citations: 43
Matched topics: hydrology
Remote sensing soil moisture (SM) has been widely used in various earth science studies and applications, but their low resolution limits their usage and downscaling of them is needed. In this study, we proposed a spatial downscaling method for SM based on random forest considering soil moisture memory and mass conservation to improve downscaling performance. The lagged SM was added as a predictor to represent soil moisture memory, in addition to the regular predictors in previous downscaling…
