  2. 1. Impact of Climate Change on Extreme Events: Insights from Asia and Scandinavia

    Author : Dong An; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; extreme events; precipitation extremes; droughts; climate variability; ENSO; climate model; climate projection; the Asia-Pacific region; scandinavia;

    Abstract : As climate has warmed significantly over past decades, numerous studies have confirmed a pattern of more frequent and more intense hydro-climate events across the globe, such as floods, heatwaves, and droughts. Analyzing the variability of climate events with reliable historical data records is one of the most direct approaches for understanding its patterns of change. READ MORE

  4. 2. On the Arctic Seasonal Cycle

    Author : Jonas Mortin; Gunilla Svensson; Rune G. Graversen; Wolfgang Dierking; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arctic climate; Seasonal melt-freeze transitions; Arctic sea ice and snow; Active microwave measurements; Climate model evaluation; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

    Abstract : The seasonal cycle of snow and sea ice is a fundamental feature of the Arctic climate system. In the Northern Hemisphere, about 55 million km2 of sea ice and snow undergo complete melt and freeze processes every year. READ MORE

  5. 3. Grasslands in a changing climate : Summer drought and winter warming effects on grassland vegetation

    Author : Nina Roth; Sara A. O. Cousins; Carly Stevens; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; climate change; compost; floral resources; grasslands; in-situ experiments; mowing; nectar; open-top chambers; plants; rain-out shelters; sheep grazing; soil amendments; summer drought; winter warming; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Abstract : Grasslands harbour a high biodiversity of both plants and animals, and they provide many ecosystem services such as fodder production, pollination, and carbon storage. Climate change is likely to alter grassland ecosystems, with the effects varying according to the exact nature and timing of changes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Hydrological Seasonal Forecasting

    Author : Kean Foster; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hydrological seasonal forecasting; seasonal forecast; spring flood; multi-model ensembles; teleconnection patterns; modelling chain;

    Abstract : In Sweden, almost half of the electricity produced comes from hydropower. However, the amount of water in the reservoir catchments is not evenly distributed throughout the year. During the colder months, precipitation usually falls as snow and accumulates into a snowpack. READ MORE

  7. 5. Paleoclimate and seasonality on Sumatra during the Late Glacial and Holocene : Insights from biomarkers and climate model simulations

    Author : Lars Petter Hällberg; Malin Kylander; Frederik Schenk; Rienk Smittenberg; David Naafs; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Holocene; Late Glacial; biomarkers; organic geochemistry; climate model; hydrogen isotopes; stable isotopes; paleoclimate; alkanes; GDGT; brGDGT; H-GDGT; bacterial community shifts; paleothermometry; precipitation reconstruction; peat; geokemi; Geochemistry;

    Abstract : Deep atmospheric convection in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP) is a key driver of the Hadley and Walker Circulations that modulate the Asian-Australian monsoons and the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Temperature and rainfall seasonality, i.e. READ MORE
