Abstract The semi-arid African Sahel region is highly sensitive to changes in monsoon precipitation, as much of the region’s workforce employed agricultural industry (Hamro-Drotz and Programme 2011). Thus, studying response rainfall aridity this radiative perturbations a matter pressing humanitarian relevance. In addition, there evidence suggest that spatially asymmetric volcanic aerosols produce different hydroclimatic responses based on their hemispheric symmetry, both globally Sahel. We...
Abstract On seasonal time scales, vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is a known predictor of burned area in the southwestern United States (“the Southwest”). VPD increases with atmospheric warming due to exponential relationship between temperature and saturation pressure. Another control on specific humidity, such that humidity can counteract temperature-driven VPD. Unexpectedly, despite increased capacity warmer atmosphere hold water vapor, near-surface decreased from 1970 2019 much Southwest,...
Abstract Recent record-breaking wildfire seasons in California prompt an investigation into the climate patterns that typically precede anomalous summer burned forest area. Using burned-area data from U.S. Forest Service’s Monitoring Trends Burn Severity (MTBS) product and fifth major global reanalysis produced by European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ERA5) over 1984–2018, relationships between interannual variability of antecedent anomalies July area are spatially temporally...
We describe a general procedure for the large-scale fabrication of bowl-shaped colloidal particles using an emulsion templating technique.
