Climate Change and Terrestrial Water Storage
This week features 21 papers examining the intersection of climate change and terrestrial water dynamics. Studies investigate water storage changes, drought mechanisms and projections, vegetation-water interactions, and Earth system model uncertainties. Key contributions address large-scale water storage trends, land-atmosphere coupling effects on drought onset, and methods for characterizing future drought under climate change scenarios.

Mineral dust aerosols impact the energy budget of Earth through interactions with radiation, clouds, atmospheric chemistry, the cryosphere and biogeochemistry. In this Review, we summarize these interactions and assess the resulting impacts of dust, and of changes in dust, on global climate and climate change. The total effect of dust interactions on the global energy budget of Earth — the dust effective radiative effect — is −0.2 ± 0.5 W m−2 (90% confidence interval), suggesting that dust ne…

The time required for an ecosystem to recover from severe drought is a key component of ecological resilience. The phenology effects on drought recovery are, however, poorly understood. These effects centre on how phenology variations impact biophysical feedbacks, vegetation growth and, ultimately, recovery itself. Using multiple remotely sensed datasets, we found that more than half of ecosystems in mid- and high-latitudinal Northern Hemisphere failed to recover from extreme droughts within …

Water pollution is considered a serious threat to human life. An advanced oxidation process in the presence of semiconductor photocatalysts is a popular method for the effective decomposition of organic pollutants from wastewater. TiO2 nanoparticles are widely used as photocatalysts due to their low cost, chemical stability, environmental compatibility and significant efficiency. The aim of this study is to review the photocatalytic processes and their mechanism, reaction kinetics, optical an…

Microplastics are ubiquitous and affect all environments, including rivers. In recent years the number of studies about microplastics in rivers has strongly increased. But still many questions exist regarding sources, pathways, and the role of land use patterns. In this study the relationship between microplastics abundance and anthropogenic factors (population density, urbanization, land use types), as well as the potential role of storm sewers as pathways in tributaries of the Wu River in T…

The Mekong River Delta in Vietnam, is concerned by numerous microplastic-related issues such as a lack of wastewater treatment facilities and mismanagement of plastic waste released from agriculture, aquaculture and related activities. This study aimed to examine the presence of microplastics in surface water and sediment by collecting samples from six sites along the Tien River and its distributaries in February 2019. The results showed that the average concentration of microplastics over th…

Abstract Coastal regions (including estuaries and deltas) are very complex environments with diverse hydrodynamic and bio-geomorphological contexts and with important socio-economic and ecological problems. These systems are among the most affected by human impact through urbanization and port activities, industrial and tourism activities. They are directly affected by the impact of climate change on sea level, storm surges frequency and strength, as well as recurrence of coastal river floods…

Hydrological Drought Generation Processes and Severity Are Changing in the Alps

Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow, water management, drought, hydropower
Abstract Streamflow droughts are governed by different hydro‐meteorological processes, whose relative importance may change over time, with potential impacts on drought severity. Here, we assess changes in the importance of different hydrological drought generation processes in the European Alps by applying a standardized drought type classification scheme to two time periods—one in the distant (1970–1993) and one in the recent past (1994–2017). Our findings show that changes in the relative …
Global Application of the Atmospheric River Scale

Matched topics: hydrology, river
Abstract Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are narrow, elongated, transient corridors of enhanced water vapor transport that play important roles in the global water cycle. Increasing scientific and societal interests in ARs prompted the introduction of an AR scale (ranks 1–5, from weak to strong) initially focused on western North America. Aided by a global AR detection algorithm, the current study explores the insights the AR scale can help provide from a global perspective. It is found that AR even…
Estimated discharge of microplastics via urban stormwater during individual rain events
Authors: Matthew S. Ross, Alyssa Loutan, Tianna Groeneveld, Danielle Molenaar, Kimberly Kroetch, Taylor Bujaczek et al.
Journal: Frontiers in Environmental Science · DOI: 10.3389/fenvs.2023.1090267 · Citations: 66
Matched topics: hydrology, runoff
Urban stormwater runoff is an important pathway for the introduction of microplastics and other anthropogenic pollutants into aquatic environments. Highly variable concentrations of microplastics have been reported globally in runoff, but knowledge of key factors within urban environments contributing to this variability remains limited. Furthermore, few studies to date have quantitatively assessed the release of microplastics to receiving waters via runoff. The objectives of this study were …
Hydrological Model Adaptability to Rainfall Inputs of Varied Quality
Authors: Jiao Wang, Lu Zhuo, Dawei Han, Ying Liu, Miguel A. Rico‐Ramirez
Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2022wr032484 · Citations: 56
Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, streamflow, land surface model
Abstract Numerous studies have evaluated the reliability and hydrologic utility of various rainfall data sets through hydrological modeling. However, the calibration of hydrological models compensates for errors in rainfall inputs. The drivers, conditions, and factors affecting the calibration of hydrological models given the accuracy of rainfall inputs are not well understood. Here, we explore hydrological model adaptability to rainfall inputs of varied quality and its potential mechanisms. …

< 0.05). Moreover, the slope surface runoff-associated and sediment-associated loss rates of total nitrogen (TN) rose as the rainfall intensity or slope gradient increased, and significant linear positive correlations were found between the runoff-associated TN loss rate (NLr) and the runoff intensity and between the sediment-associated NLr and the erosion intensity. In addition, there were positive linear correlations between slope runoff-associated or sediment-associated TN loss volumes and…

Nonvesicular extracellular RNAs (nv-exRNAs) constitute the majority of the extracellular RNAome, but little is known about their stability, function, and potential use as disease biomarkers. Herein, we measured the stability of several naked RNAs when incubated in human serum, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We identified extracellularly produced tRNA-derived small RNAs (tDRs) with half-lives of several hours in CSF. Contrary to widespread assumptions, these intrinsically stable small R…
