Added value of a multiparametric eddy-driven jet diagnostic for understanding European air stagnation
Air stagnation refers to an extended period of clear, stable conditions which can favour the accumulation of pollutants in the lower atmosphere. In Europe, weather conditions are strongly mediated by the North Atlantic eddy-driven jet stream. Descriptions of the jet stream typically focus on its latitudinal position or the strength of its wind speed, and its impacts are often studied under different latitudinal regimes of the jet. Herein, we eval…
A storyline view of the projected role of remote drivers on summer air stagnation in Europe and the United States
Storylines of atmospheric circulation change, or physically self-consistent narratives of plausible future events, have recently been proposed as a non-probabilistic means to represent uncertainties in climate change projections. Here, we apply the storyline approach to 21st century projections of summer air stagnation over Europe and the United States. We use a Climate Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) ensemble to generate stagnation…
Potential of Arabic documentary sources for reconstructing past climate in the western Mediterranean region from AD 680 to 1815
Archival records and historical documents offer direct observation of weather and atmospheric conditions and have the highest temporal and spatial resolution, and precise dating, of the available climate proxies. They also provide information about variables such as temperature, precipitation and climate extremes, as well as floods, droughts and storms. The present work studied Arab-Islamic documentary sources covering the western Mediterranean r…
Long-term precipitation in Southwestern Europe reveals no clear trend attributable to anthropogenic forcing
We present a long-term assessment of precipitation trends in Southwestern Europe (1850–2018) using data from multiple sources, including observations, gridded datasets and global climate model experiments. Contrary to previous investigations based on shorter records, we demonstrate, using new long-term, quality controlled precipitation series, the lack of statistically significant long-term decreasing trends in precipitation for the region. Rathe…
Understanding weather and climate of the last 300 years from ships' logbooks
Ships' logbooks have been preserved in archives of different European countries. This paper reviews how their records provide reliable information relevant to meteorology and climatology, extending the observational record back to at least the early 18th century. This allows describing weather during historical events, improving the knowledge on hurricanes or unveiling multidecadal variability previously unsuspected, such as the steady enhancemen…
The impact of a future solar minimum on climate change projections in the Northern Hemisphere
La variabilidad solar representa una fuente de incertidumbre en los forzamientos futuros utilizados en simulaciones con modelos climáticos. El conocimiento actual indica que un descenso de la actividad solar en un prolongado estado mínimo es un escenario posible. Con la ayuda de experimentos sobre el modelo del sistema Tierra, investigamos el impacto de un posible mínimo solar en el Hemisferio Norte, con proyecciones en el cambio climático. Este …
Climatic potential of Islamic chronicles in Iberia
From ad 711 to 1492, several regions in Iberia were under Muslim ruling. This Al-Andalus civilization generated a large amount of documentation during those centuries. Unfortunately, most of the documents are lost. The surviving Arabic documentary sources have never been studied from a climate perspective. In this paper, we present the first attempt to retrieve climate evidence from them. We studied all the Islamic chronicles (documents written b…
The Hot Summer of 2010
Large parts of eastern Europe experienced exceptional warmth during the summer of 2010.
