Upper bounds for 21st-century surface air temperatures in the Western United States
The last decade has seen a large number of severe heatwaves that were unprecedented in the observational record, highlighting challenges associated with observationally-based statistical quantification of the likelihood and magnitude of future extreme temperatures. An alternative to such probabilistic assessments is identification of upper bounds that quantify the hottest surface air temperatures that can possibly be achieved by the end of the 21…
Reduced terrestrial evaporation increases atmospheric water vapor by generating cloud feedbacks
Reduced terrestrial evaporation directly warms the surface by reducing latent cooling, but also indirectly modifies surface climate by altering atmospheric processes. We use a global climate model to explore two end cases of terrestrial evaporation, comparing the climate of SwampLand, a world where land is always fully saturated with water, to that of DesertLand, where land is always completely lacking in soil moisture. When we suppress evaporati…
Downwind control of oceanic air by land
Oceans are well-known to be directly altered by global climate forcings such as greenhouse gas changes, but how oceans are indirectly influenced by land and its response to such forcings remains less explored. Here, we assess the present-day and projected future state of a little-explored feature of the climate system—a ‘land wake’ in relative humidity downwind of the east coast of North America, consisting of low-humidity continental air extendi…
Reflective inquiry and “The Fate of Reason”
at once it struck me, what quality went to form a Man (sic) of Achievement especially in Literature and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously-I mean Negative Capability, that is when someone is capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts without any irritable reaching after fact and reason
