Matched topics: earth system model
Abstract Carbon dioxide removal is rapidly becoming a key focus in climate research and politics. This is raising concerns of “moral hazard” or “mitigation deterrence,” that is, the risk that promises of and/or efforts to pursue carbon removal end up reducing or delaying near‐term mitigation efforts. Some, however, contest this risk, arguing that it is overstated or lacking evidence. In this review, we explore the reasons behind the disagreement in the literature. We unpack the different ways…

Abstract It has been argued that the −5 °C annual mean 2 m air temperature isotherm defines a limit of ice shelf viability on the Antarctic Peninsula as melt ponding increases at higher temperatures. It is, however, presently unknown whether this threshold can also be applied to other Antarctic ice shelves. Here we use two present-day and three future high-resolution Antarctic climate simulations to predict warming thresholds for Antarctic ice shelf melt pond formation on the basis of the mel…

Abstract. Satellite-based retrievals of tropospheric NO2 columns are widely used to infer NOx (≡ NO + NO2) emissions. These retrievals rely on model information for the vertical distribution of NO2. The free tropospheric background above 2 km is particularly important because the sensitivity of the retrievals increases with altitude. Free tropospheric NOx also has a strong effect on tropospheric OH and ozone concentrations. Here we use observations from three aircraft campaigns (SEAC4RS, DC3,…

Flooding has often been caused by an increase in the volume of water in a water system, such as a lake or river overflowing. On rare occasions, a dam will crack, releasing a tremendous amount of water. As a result, some water seeps into the soil, ‘overflowing’ the area. Rivers are intertwined with the banks of the river at a station. Aside from a lack of items and assets, municipal architecture rainwater contains germs and wastewater flows from dumping grounds and toxic leaks, resulting in va…

Wearable in-sensor reservoir computing using optoelectronic polymers with through-space charge-transport characteristics for multi-task learning
Authors: Xiaosong Wu, Shaocong Wang, Wei Huang, Yu Dong, Zhongrui Wang, Weiguo Huang
Journal: Nature Communications · DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-36205-9 · Citations: 134
Matched topics: reservoir
In-sensor multi-task learning is not only the key merit of biological visions but also a primary goal of artificial-general-intelligence. However, traditional silicon-vision-chips suffer from large time/energy overheads. Further, training conventional deep-learning models is neither scalable nor affordable on edge-devices. Here, a material-algorithm co-design is proposed to emulate human retina and the affordable learning paradigm. Relying on a bottle-brush-shaped semiconducting p -NDI with e…
Remotely Sensed Soil Moisture Can Capture Dynamics Relevant to Plant Water Uptake
Authors: Andrew F. Feldman, Daniel J. Short Gianotti, Jianzhi Dong, Ruzbeh Akbar, Wade T. Crow, Kaighin A. McColl et al.
Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2022wr033814 · Citations: 81
Matched topics: hydrology, land surface model, surface water, earth system model
Abstract A frequently expressed viewpoint across the Earth science community is that global soil moisture estimates from satellite L‐band (1.4 GHz) measurements represent moisture only in a shallow surface layer (0–5 cm) and consequently are of limited value for studying global terrestrial ecosystems because plants use water from deeper rootzones. Using this argumentation, many observation‐based land surface studies avoid satellite‐observed soil moisture. Here, based on peer‐reviewed literatu…
Levels and distribution profiles of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in a high Arctic Svalbard ice core
Authors: William Hartz, Maria K. Björnsdotter, Leo W. Y. Yeung, Andy Hodson, Elizabeth R. Thomas, Jack D. Humby et al.

PFCAs had alternative sources, such as HFCs and other CFC replacement compounds. Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) was also widely detected in 82 % of ice core subsections, and its isomer profile (81 % linear) indicated an electrochemical fluorination manufacturing source. Comparisons of PFAS concentrations with a marine aerosol proxy showed that marine aerosols were insignificant for the deposition of PFAS on Lomonosovfonna. Comparisons with a melt proxy showed that TFA and PFOS were mobil…

A large sample of ground-based evapotranspiration (ET) measurements made in the United States, primarily from eddy covariance systems, were post-processed to produce a benchmark ET dataset. The dataset was produced primarily to support the intercomparison and evaluation of the OpenET satellite-based remote sensing ET (RSET) models and could also be used to evaluate ET data from other models and approaches. OpenET is a web-based service that makes field-delineated and pixel-level ET estimates …
Magmatic plumbing and dynamic evolution of the 2021 La Palma eruption

The 2021 volcanic eruption at La Palma, Canary Islands, was the island’s most voluminous historical eruption. Little is known about this volcano’s feeding system. During the eruption, seismicity was distributed in two clusters at ~10-14 km and ~33-39 km depth, separated by an aseismic zone. This gap coincides with the location of weak seismic swarms in 2017-2021 and where petrological data have implied pre-eruptive magma storage. Here we use seismological methods to understand the seismic res…
Leaving a plastic legacy: Current and future scenarios for mismanaged plastic waste in rivers
Authors: Björn Nyberg, Peter T. Harris, Ian Kane, Thomas Maes
Journal: The Science of The Total Environment · DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.161821 · Citations: 61
Matched topics: river, earth system model
Mismanaged plastic waste (MPW) entering the riverine environment is concerning, given that most plastic pollution never reaches the oceans, and it has a severe negative impact on terrestrial ecosystems. However, significant knowledge gaps on the storage and remobilization of MPW within different rivers over varying timescales remain. Here we analyze the exposure of river systems to MPW to better understand the sedimentary processes that control the legacy of plastic waste. Using a conservativ…
A 21st‐Century perspective on snow drought in the Upper Colorado River Basin
Authors: Aaron Heldmyer, Nels R. Bjarke, Ben Livneh
Journal: JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association · DOI: 10.1111/1752-1688.13095 · Citations: 33
Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, river, streamflow, water management, drought, land surface model
Abstract In the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB), there is a deep reliance on seasonal snowpack for maintenance of water resources. The term “snow drought” has recently emerged to describe periods of anomalously low snowpack. Unique seasonal patterns in precipitation and temperature that drive snow drought can have distinct hydrologic signatures, and these relationships have not been carefully studied in the UCRB. Here we examine snow drought with a new classification scheme using peak snow …
Long-term hydrological simulation for the estimation of snowmelt contribution of Alaknanda River Basin, Uttarakhand using SWAT

Abstract A large population depends on water resources generated due to runoff from Himalayan River basins. They provide enough water for drinking, domestic, industrial, and irrigation. Also, these rivers have a high hydropower potential. A lack of in-depth studies has made it difficult to understand how these rivers respond hydrologically to climate change (CC) and, thus, impact the environment. In this paper, Alaknanda River Basin (ARB) has been modelled using the Soil and Water Assessment …
