Increased frequency of extreme La Niña events under greenhouse warming
(Nature Research, 2015)
The El Niño/Southern Oscillation is Earth’s most prominent source of interannual climate variability, alternating irregularly between El Niño and La Niña, and resulting in global disruption of weather patterns, ecosystems, ...
Intraseasonal and Interannual Variability of Extreme Dry and Wet Events over Southeastern South America and the Subtropical Atlantic during Austral Summer
(AMER METEOROLOGICAL SOC, 2009)
Intraseasonal and interannual variability of extreme wet and dry anomalies over southeastern Brazil and the western subtropical South Atlantic Ocean are investigated. Precipitation data are obtained from the Global ...
Genetic variation for tolerance to extreme temperatures in wild and cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus) during early vegetative phases
(Csiro Publishing, 2020-06-04)
The increased incidence of extreme temperature events due to global climate change poses a major challenge for crop production. Ability to increase temperature tolerance through genetic improvement requires understanding ...
Temperature effects on periphyton, epiphyton and epipelon under a nitrogen pulse in low-nutrient experimental freshwater lakes
(Springer, 2017-07)
The ongoing global climate change involves not only increased temperatures but may also produce more frequent extreme events, such as severe rainfall that could trigger a pulse of nutrients to lakes. In shallow lakes, this ...
Variability and predictability of winter cold nights in Argentina
(Elsevier, 2019-10)
Extreme cold events can cause crop damage as well as an increase in energy demand and even in the mortality rate. Identifying the atmospheric processes associated with the occurrence of these extremes would allow decision-makers ...
Detecting Nothofagus pumilio Growth Reductions Induced by Past Spring Frosts at the Northern Patagonian Andes
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019-10)
Extreme climatic events, such as late frosts in spring during leaf flush, have considerable impacts on the radial growth of temperate broadleaf trees. Albeit, all broadleaved species are potentially vulnerable, damage ...
HEAVY RAINFALL AND TEMPERATURE PROYECTIONS IN A CLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIO OVER QUITO, ECUADOR
(2017-01)
This research analyzes daily extreme events of minimum, maximum temperatures and rain in the Metropolitan District of Quito using data of more than 30 years from the meteorological network of INAMHI (Instituto Nacional de ...
Using convective available potential energy (CAPE) and dew-point temperature to characterize rainfall-extreme events in the Southcentral Andes
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2019-07-08)
The interactions between atmosphere and steep topography in the eastern south-central Andes result in complex relations with inhomogenous rainfall distributions. The atmospheric conditions leading to deep convection and ...
Extreme events in the La Plata basin: a retrospective analysis of what we have learned during CLARIS-LPB project
(Inter-Research, 2016-05)
Extreme climate events over the La Plata basin (LPB) can produce significant impacts due to the importance of the regional agriculture and hydroelectric power production for the local economy. Progress on describing, ...
Foehn event triggered by an atmospheric river underlies record-setting temperature along continental antarctica
(American Geophysical Union, 2018-04-27)
A record-setting temperature of 17.5 degrees C occurred on 24 March 2015 at the Esperanza station located near the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula (AP). We studied the event using surface station data, satellite ...
