  • Natural decadal variability of global vegetation growth in relation to major decadal climate modes

    Open AccessZhengyao Lu, Deliang Chen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    The ongoing climate change can modulate the behavior of global vegetation and influence the terrestrial biosphere carbon sink. Past observation-based studies have mainly focused on the linear trend or interannual variability of the vegetation greenness, but could not explicitly deal with the effect of natural decadal variability due to the short length of observations. Here we put the variabilities revealed by remote sensing-based global leaf are…

  • Warmer climate projections in EC-Earth3-Veg

    Open AccessKlaus Wyser, Erik Kjellström et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Climate projections for the 21st century for CMIP6 are warmer than those for CMIP5 despite nominally identical instantaneous radiative forcing. Many climate modeling groups attribute the stronger warming in the CMIP6 projections to the higher climate sensitivity of the new generation of climate models, but here we demonstrate that also changes in the forcing datasets can play an important role, in particular the prescribed concentrations of green…

  • Past long-term summer warming over western Europe in new generation climate models

    Open AccessJulien Boé, Laurent Terray et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Past studies have concluded that climate models of previous generations tended to underestimate the large warming trend that has been observed in summer over western Europe in the last few decades. The causes of this systematic error are still not clear. Here, we investigate this issue with a new generation of climate models and systematically explore the role of large-scale circulation in that context. As an ensemble, climate models in this stud…

  • Extreme heat waves under 1.5 °C and 2 °C global warming

    Open AccessAlessandro Dosio, Lorenzo Mentaschi et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Severe, extreme, and exceptional heat waves, such as those that occurred over the Balkans (2007), France (2003), or Russia (2010), are associated with increased mortality, human discomfort and reduced labour productivity. Based on the results of a very high-resolution global model, we show that, even at 1.5 C warming, a significant increase in heat wave magnitude is expected over Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. Compared to a 1.5 C worl…

  • Global projections of river flood risk in a warmer world

    Open AccessLorenzo Alfieri, Berny Bisselink et al.ARTICLEEarth's Future2017

    Rising global temperature has put increasing pressure on understanding the linkage between atmospheric warming and the occurrence of natural hazards. While the Paris Agreement has set the ambitious target to limiting global warming to 1.5°C compared to preindustrial levels, scientists are urged to explore scenarios for different warming thresholds and quantify ranges of socioeconomic impact. In this work, we present a framework to estimate the ec…

  • The Rossby Centre Regional Atmospheric Climate Model Part II

    Colin Jones, Colin G Jones et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2004Cited by: 2

    The Rossby Centre regional climate model (RCA2) has been integrated over the Arctic Ocean as part of the international ARCMIP project. Results have been compared to observations derived from the SHEBA data set. The standard RCA2 model overpredicts cloud cover and down-welling longwave radiation, during the Arctic winter. This error was improved by introducing a new cloud parameterization, which significantly improves the annual cycle of cloud cov…
