Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2020wr028638 · Citations: 106
Matched topics: hydrologic model, streamflow, climate change
Abstract The inter‐variable dependence of climate variables is usually not considered in many bias correction methods, even though it has been deemed important for various impact studies. Another possible approach is to forgo the bias correction of climate model outputs, and instead, post‐process the outputs of the impact model. This has the advantage of circumventing the difficulties associated with correcting the inter‐variable dependence of climate variables. Using a hydrological impact st…

Abstract. Water recycled through transpiring forests influences the spatial distribution of precipitation in the Amazon and has been shown to play a role in the initiation of the wet season. However, due to the challenges and costs associated with measuring evapotranspiration (ET) directly and high uncertainty in remote-sensing ET retrievals, the spatial and temporal patterns in Amazon ET remain poorly understood. In this study, we estimated ET over the Amazon and 10 sub-basins using a catchm…

Abstract. Understanding future changes in the terrestrial carbon cycle is important for reliable projections of climate change and impacts on ecosystems. It is well known that nitrogen (N) could limit plants’ response to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide and it is therefore important to include a representation of the N cycle in Earth system models. Here we present the implementation of the terrestrial nitrogen cycle in the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) – the land surface sch…

While wetlands are the largest natural source of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere, they represent a large source of uncertainty in the global CH4 budget due to the complex biogeochemical controls on CH4 dynamics. Here we present, to our knowledge, the first multi‐site synthesis of how predictors of CH4 fluxes (FCH4) in freshwater wetlands vary across wetland types at diel, multiday (synoptic), and seasonal time scales. We used several statistical approaches (correlation analysis, generalized a…

Matched topics: runoff
The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) is widely used to estimate regional soil erosion. However, quantitative impacts of soil and water conservation (SWC) measures on conservation practice factor (P) of the RUSLE remain largely unclear, especially for the mountainous and hilly areas. In this study, we improved the RUSLE by considering quantitative impacts of different SWC measures on the P factor value. The improved RUSLE was validated against the long-term (2000–2015) soil erosion…

Abstract Soil erosion is a serious and continuous environmental problem in Ethiopia. Lack of land use planning, environmental protection, over-cultivation, and overgrazing are prominent causes of erosion and sedimentation. This study is conducted in Anjeb watershed located in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia. In this study, the quantity and distribution of soil erosion, sediment delivery ratio (SDR), and sediment yield of the watershed were assessed by employing remote sensing, geographic …

ABSTRACT Life on Earth vitally depends on the availability of water. Human pressure on freshwater resources is increasing, as is human exposure to weather-related extremes (droughts, storms, floods) caused by climate change. Understanding these changes is pivotal for developing mitigation and adaptation strategies. The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) defines a suite of essential climate variables (ECVs), many related to the water cycle, required to systematically monitor Earth’s climat…
Solar for all: A framework to deliver inclusive and environmentally sustainable solar irrigation for smallholder agriculture

Matched topics: irrigation
Worldwide, off-grid solar photovoltaic irrigation is currently being developed with the expectation that it will help secure water access to increase food production, reduce fuel-based carbon emissions and energy costs, and increase human resilience to climate change. In developing countries across the Middle East and North Africa, South East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, the adoption of solar technology in agriculture to lift groundwater is rapidly expanding, following decreases in pump costs…
Southern Ocean anthropogenic carbon sink constrained by sea surface salinity
Authors: Jens Terhaar, Thomas L. Frölicher, Fortunat Joos
Journal: Science Advances · DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abd5964 · Citations: 90
Matched topics: earth system model
The ocean attenuates global warming by taking up about one quarter of global anthropogenic carbon emissions. Around 40% of this carbon sink is located in the Southern Ocean. However, Earth system models struggle to reproduce the Southern Ocean circulation and carbon fluxes. We identify a tight relationship across two multimodel ensembles between present-day sea surface salinity in the subtropical-polar frontal zone and the anthropogenic carbon sink in the Southern Ocean. Observations and mode…

Abstract Following the progress of satellite data assimilation in the 1990s, the combination of meteorological satellites and numerical models has changed the way scientists understand the earth. With the evolution of numerical weather prediction models and earth system models, meteorological satellites will play a more important role in earth sciences in the future. As part of the space-based infrastructure, the Fengyun (FY) meteorological satellites have contributed to earth science sustain…
