  • Spatiotemporal variability in modeled bottom ice and sea surface dimethylsulfide concentrations and fluxes in the Arctic during 1979–2015 

    Hayashida, Hakase; Carnat, Gauthier; Gali Tapias, Martí; Monahan, Adam H.; Mortenson, Eric; Sou, Tessa; Steiner, Nadja S. (Wiley, 2020)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Field observations suggest that oceanic emissions of dimethylsulfide (DMS) may play a dominant role in the production of Arctic aerosols and clouds and therefore modulate the surface irradiance, during spring and summer. ...

  • Remote sensing retrieval of isoprene concentrations in the Southern Ocean 

    Rodríguez-Ros, Pablo; Gali Tapias, Martí; Cortés, Pau; Robinson, Charlotte Mary; Antoine, David; Wohl, Charel; Yang, MingXi; Simó, Rafel (Wiley, 2020)
    Article
    Open Access
    Isoprene produced by marine phytoplankton acts as a precursor of secondary organic aerosol and thereby affects cloud formation and brightness over the remote oceans. Yet the marine isoprene emission is poorly constrained, ...

  • Time-varying impact of climate on maize and wheat yields in France since 1900 

    Ceglar, Andrej; Zampieri, Matteo; Gonzalez-Reviriego, Nube; Ciais, Philippe; Schauberge, Bernhard; Velde, Marijn Van der (IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020)
    Article
    Open Access
    Climate services that can anticipate crop yields can potentially increase the resilience of food security in the face of climate change. These services are based on our understanding of how crop yield anomalies are related ...

  • Challenges in the selection of atmospheric circulation patterns for the wind energy sector 

    Torralba, Verónica; Gonzalez-Reviriego, Nube; Cortesi, Nicola; Manrique‐Suñén, Andrea; Lledó, Llorenç; Marcos, Raül; Soret, Albert; Doblas-Reyes, Francisco (Wiley, 2020-10)
    Article
    Open Access
    Abstract Atmospheric circulation patterns that prevail for several consecutive days over a specific region can have consequences for the wind energy sector as they may lead to a reduction of the wind power generation, ...

  • Resolving and parameterising the Ocean Mesoscale in earth system models 

    Hewitt, Helene T.; Roberts, Malcolm; Mathiot, Pierre; Biastoch, Arne; Blockley, Ed; Chassignet, Eric P.; Fox-Kemper, Baylor; Hyder, Pat; Marshall, David P.; Popova, Ekaterina; Treguier, Anne-Marie; Zanna, Laure; Yool, Andrew; Yu, Yongqiang; Beadling, Rebecca; Bell, Mike; Kuhlbrodt, Till; Arsouze, Thomas; Bellucci, Alessio; Castruccio, Fred; Gan, Bolan; Putrasahan, Dian; Roberts, Christopher D.; Roekel, Luke Van; Zhang, Qiuying (Springer Nature, 2020-10)

    Bojovic, Dragana; Benavides, Jaime; Soret, Albert (Elsevier, 2020-09)
    Article
    Open Access
    Many urban areas suffer from poor air quality as a consequence of high levels of car-based traffic. Even cities with well-developed multi-modal public transport networks and favourable conditions for alternative transportation, ...

  • Impact of the ice thickness distribution discretization on the sea ice concentration variability in the NEMO3.6–LIM3 global ocean–sea ice model 

    Moreno Chamarro, Eduardo; Ortega Montilla, Pablo; Massonnet, François (Copernicus Publications, 2020-10-05)
    Article
