Drought is a global threat that affects agricultural production. Plants have evolved several adaptive strategies to cope with drought. Stomata are essential structures for plants to control water status and photosynthesis rate. Stomatal closure is an efficient way for plants to reduce water loss and improve survivability under drought conditions. The opening and closure of stomata depend on the turgor pressure in guard cells. Three key signaling molecules, including abscisic acid (ABA), react…

The issue of whether the increase in nutrients is supplied by increasing runoff or by enhancing upwelling in coastal marine ecosystems after a typhoon is considered controversial. This is because it is relatively difficult to quantify water mixing using traditional methods. Dual water isotopes in the northwestern South China Sea during Typhoon Wipha (July–August 2019) were investigated to address this issue. Weak mixing among different water masses was observed before the typhoon because of s…

Abstract Converting omnipresent environmental energy through the assistance of spontaneous water evaporation is an emerging technology for sustainable energy systems. Developing bio‐based hydrovoltaic materials further pushes the sustainability, where wood is a prospect due to its native hydrophilic and anisotropic structure. However, current wood‐based water evaporation‐assisted power generators are facing the challenge of low power density. Here, an efficient hydrovoltaic wood power generat…

Detection of Surface Water and Floods with Multispectral Satellites

Authors: Cinzia Albertini, Andrea Gioia, Vito Iacobellis, Salvatore Manfreda

Journal: Remote Sensing · DOI: 10.3390/rs14236005 · Citations: 79

Matched topics: flood, surface water

The use of multispectral satellite imagery for water monitoring is a fast and cost-effective method that can benefit from the growing availability of medium–high-resolution and free remote sensing data. Since the 1970s, multispectral satellite imagery has been exploited by adopting different techniques and spectral indices. The high number of available sensors and their differences in spectral and spatial characteristics led to a proliferation of outcomes that depicts a nice picture of the po…

Uncertainty quantification in watershed hydrology: Which method to use?

Authors: Abhinav Gupta, Rao S. Govindaraju

Journal: Journal of Hydrology · DOI: 10.1016/j.jhydrol.2022.128749 · Citations: 61

Matched topics: hydrology, runoff, streamflow

Different paradigms have emerged in watershed hydrology to deal with the uncertainties associated with modeling with both similarities and differences in philosophies and implementation.. A review of different paradigms, which include information-theoretic, formal Bayesian, informal Bayesian (GLUE), limits-of-acceptability (LOA), and others, is provided with a focus on their philosophical/theoretical underpinnings. Subsequently, the role of a relatively new paradigm, LOA is explored in the co…


Southern Ocean Solar Reflection Biases in CMIP6 Models Linked to Cloud Phase and Vertical Structure Representations

Authors: G Cesana, Théodore Khadir, Hélène Chepfer, Marjolaine Chiriaco

Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2022gl099777 · Citations: 65

Matched topics: earth system model

Abstract Over the Southern Ocean (SO, 40°S–70°S), climate models have consistently underestimated solar reflection. Here we evaluate the relationship between cloud profiles, cloud phase and radiation over the SO in Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models against Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System and Cloud‐Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations. We find that the lack of solar reflection is slightly improved in CMIP6 models compared to CMIP5…


Future Changes in Global Runoff and Runoff Coefficient From CMIP6 Multi‐Model Simulation Under SSP1‐2.6 and SSP5‐8.5 Scenarios

Authors: Aihui Wang, Yue Miao, Xianghui Kong, Huan Wu

Journal: Earth s Future · DOI: 10.1029/2022ef002910 · Citations: 49

Matched topics: hydrology, runoff, streamflow, earth system model

Abstract This paper assesses the performances of runoff (Ro) and runoff coefficient ( α , the ratio of runoff to precipitation) simulations from 23 models during the historical period and then projects their future changes under the two emission scenarios (SSP1‐2.6 and SSP5‐8.5) in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. Compared with the UNH/GRDC Ro dataset (0.82 mm day −1 ), the multi‐model median (MME) Ro of 1995–2014 produces a comparable global mean magnitude (0.80 mm day −1 ), displa…

Glacial Lake Outburst Flood Hazard and Risk Assessment of Gangabal Lake in the Upper Jhelum Basin of Kashmir Himalaya Using Geospatial Technology and Hydrodynamic Modeling

Authors: Rayees Ahmed, Manish Rawat, Gowhar Farooq Wani, Syed Towseef Ahmad, Pervez Ahmed, Sanjay K. Jain et al.

Journal: Remote Sensing · DOI: 10.3390/rs14235957 · Citations: 48

Matched topics: streamflow, flood

Climate warming-induced glacier recession has resulted in the development and rapid expansion of glacial lakes in the Himalayan region. The increased melting has enhanced the susceptibility for Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) in the region. The catastrophic failure of potentially dangerous glacial lakes could be detrimental to human life and infrastructure in the adjacent low-lying areas. This study attempts to assess the GLOF hazard of Gangabal lake, located in the Upper Jhelum basin of…
