Matched topics: drought
Traditional, mainstream definitions of drought describe it as deficit in water‐related variables or water‐dependent activities (e.g., precipitation, soil moisture, surface and groundwater storage, and irrigation) due to natural variabilities that are out of the control of local decision‐makers. Here, we argue that within coupled human‐water systems, drought must be defined and understood as a process as opposed to a product to help better frame and describe the complex and interrelated dynami…

Storm Surges Cause Simultaneous Salinization and Freshening of Coastal Aquifers, Exacerbated by Climate Change
Authors: Anner Paldor, Holly A. Michael
Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2020wr029213 · Citations: 85
Matched topics: water management, climate change
Abstract Ocean surge events are known to threaten coastal aquifers through vertical infiltration, with the degree of salinization depending on hydrogeologic factors. Another salinization process in coastal aquifers is lateral saltwater intrusion, which may also be affected during surges as the inundation alters the aquifer hydraulic heads. While these processes have been considered individually, here we consider the interplay between them and the longer‐term impact of climate change, which is…

Groundwater systems provide an important source of water supply as well as contributing baseflow to rivers, lakes and dependent ecosystems and so the impact of climate change on these systems needs to be understood. Calculating recharge to groundwater systems is, therefore, necessary to quantify what is typically one of the largest components of the groundwater balance. This study uses the national-scale recharge model developed for the British mainland and the 11 ensemble members from the Ha…

Adequate chill is of great importance for successful production of deciduous fruit trees. However, temperate fruit trees grown under tropical and subtropical regions may face insufficient winter chill, which has a crucial role in dormancy and productivity. The objective of this review is to discuss the challenges for dormancy and chilling requirements of temperate fruit trees, especially in warm winter regions, under climate change conditions. After defining climate change and dormancy, the e…

Geoengineering options such as negative emissions technologies (NETs) or greenhouse gas removal (GGR) may need to contribute towards decarbonization, by removing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it safely in biological or geological sinks, or reflecting sunlight back into space via solar radiation management (SRM). Despite concerns about them, GGR and SRM are increasingly discussed as crucial complements to traditional climate change mitigation. Others routinely dismiss both SRM and GGR me…
Changes in Ground Temperature and Dynamics in Mountain Permafrost in the Swiss Alps

Rising air temperatures and increasingly intense precipitation are being observed in the Swiss Alps. These changes strongly affect the evolution of the temperature regime and the dynamics of mountain permafrost. Changes occur at different rates depending on ground ice content. Long-term monitoring reveals progressive warming and degradation of permafrost and accelerating rock glacier velocities. This study analyses changes occurring in ice-rich (excess-ice) and ice-poor mountain permafrost in…
On the attribution of industrial-era glacier mass loss to anthropogenic climate change

Matched topics: climate change, earth system model
Abstract. Around the world, small ice caps and glaciers have been losing mass and retreating since the start of the industrial era. Estimates are that this has contributed approximately 30 % of the observed sea-level rise over the same period. It is important to understand the relative importance of natural and anthropogenic components of this mass loss. One recent study concluded that the best estimate of the magnitude of the anthropogenic mass loss over the industrial era was only 25 % of t…
Extreme melt season ice layers reduce firn permeability across Greenland
Authors: Riley Culberg, Dustin M. Schroeder, Winnie Chu
Journal: Nature Communications · DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-22656-5 · Citations: 76
Matched topics: runoff
Surface meltwater runoff dominates present-day mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet. In Greenland’s interior, porous firn can limit runoff by retaining meltwater unless perched low-permeability horizons, such as ice slabs, develop and restrict percolation. Recent observations suggest that such horizons might develop rapidly during extreme melt seasons. Here we present radar sounding evidence that an extensive near surface melt layer formed following the extreme melt season in 2012. This lay…

Matched topics: hydrologic model, runoff, streamflow, hydropower, earth system model
Abstract. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks have been applied to daily discharge prediction with remarkable success. Many practical applications, however, require predictions at more granular timescales. For instance, accurate prediction of short but extreme flood peaks can make a lifesaving difference, yet such peaks may escape the coarse temporal resolution of daily predictions. Naively training an LSTM on hourly data, however, entails very long input sequences that make learning diffi…

Abstract Taylor diagram has been frequently used to evaluate climate or hydrology models or data. A Taylor diagram summarizes three frequently used metrics including correlation coefficient (CC), standard deviation (STD), and centred root mean square error ( RMSE c ). Although these three metrics are relevant metrics for some applications, in some cases, additional indicators are needed, which calls for a new method. This study firstly addressed the short comments about the distance between i…

This adjustment of leaf NSC balance was not observed in tree species less-adapted to water deficit, even under exceptionally dry conditions. Thus, leaf carbon metabolism may help to explain floristic sorting across water availability gradients in Amazonia and enable better prediction of forest responses to future climate change.

Abstract Active layer thickness (ALT) is a critical metric for monitoring permafrost. How soil moisture influences ALT depends on two competing hypotheses: (a) increased soil moisture increases the latent heat of fusion for thaw, resulting in shallower active layers, and (b) increased soil moisture increases soil thermal conductivity, resulting in deeper active layers. To investigate their relative influence on thaw depth, we analyzed the Field Measurements of Soil Moisture and Active Layer T…

It’s vital to explore critical indicators when identifying potential pollution sources of urban rivers. However, the variations of urban river water qualities following temporal and spatial disturbances were highly local-dependent, further complicating the understanding of pollution emission laws. In order to understand the successional trajectory of water qualities of urban rivers and the underlying mechanisms controlling these dynamics at local scale, we collected daily monitoring data for …

Predicting wildfire burns from big geodata using deep learning
Authors: John Ray Bergado, Claudio Persello, Karin Reinke, Alfred Stein
Journal: Safety Science · DOI: 10.1016/j.ssci.2021.105276 · Citations: 68
Matched topics: land surface model
Wildfire continues to be a major environmental problem in the world. To help land and fire management agencies manage and mitigate wildfire-related risks, we need to develop tools for mapping those risks. Big geodata—in the form of remotely sensed images, ground-based sensor observations, and topographical datasets—can help us characterize the dynamics of wildfire related events. In this study, we design a deep fully convolutional network, called AllConvNet, to produce daily maps of the proba…
Temperature and acidity dependence of secondary organic aerosol formation from α -pinene ozonolysis with a compact chamber system

Abstract. Secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) affect human health and climate change prediction; however, the factors (e.g., temperature, acidity of pre-existing particles, and oxidants) influencing their formation are not sufficiently resolved. Using a compact chamber, the temperature and acidity dependence of SOA yields and chemical components in SOA from α-pinene ozonolysis were systematically investigated under 278, 288, and 298 K temperatures using neutral ((NH4)2SO4) and acidic (H2SO4+((N…
Evaluating the complementarity of solar, wind and hydropower to mitigate the impact of El Niño Southern Oscillation in Latin America
Authors: Miguel Gonzalez-Salazar, W. Poganietz
Journal: Unknown · DOI: 10.1016/J.RENENE.2021.04.048 · Citations: 67
Matched topics: hydropower
Abstract Latin America has the largest share of renewable energy for power generation in the world, but has historically been dependent on hydropower, and is vulnerable to long-term phenomena like the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The region is currently experiencing a steady increase in gas-based power generation along with a rapid growth in non-hydro renewables, mainly aimed at improving reliability. But exploiting complementarities between hydropower and other renewables could offer…
