While the trend distributions are broad, with one-third of the 27 stations in the US and worldwide having a negative trend, both distributions 28 show significant warming.

Received: 31 July 2017; Accepted: 8 December 2017; Published: 13 December 2017 Abstract: The so far largely unabated emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) are expected to increase global temperatures substantially over this century. We quantify the patterns of increases for 246 globally-representative cities in the Sustainable Healthy Urban Environments (SHUE) database. We used an ensemble of 18 global climate models (GCMs) run under a low (RCP2.6) and high (RCP8.5) emissions scenario to estimate the increase in monthly mean temperatures by 2050 and 2100 based on 30-year averages.

    agronomy Article Severe Drought in the Spring of 2020 in Poland—More of the Same? Iwona Pi ´nskwar* , Adam Chory ´nski and Zbigniew W. Kundzewicz Institute for Agricultural and Forest Environment, Polish Academy of Sciences, Bukowska 19, 60-809 Pozna´n,Poland; [email protected] (A.C.); [email protected] (Z.W.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 5 October 2020; Accepted: 23 October 2020; Published: 26 October 2020 Abstract: Two consecutive dry years, 2018 and 2019, a warm winter in 2019/20, and a very dry spring in 2020 led to the development of severe drought in Poland. In this paper, changes in the Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) for the interval from 1971 to the end of May 2020 are examined. The values of SPEI (based on 12, 24 and 30 month windows, i.e., SPEI 12, SPEI 24 and SPEI 30) were calculated with the help of the Penman–Monteith equation. Changes in soil moisture contents were also examined from January 2000 to May 2020, based on data from the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center, presenting increasing water shortages in a central belt of Poland. The study showed that the 2020 spring drought was among the most severe events in the analyzed period and presented decreasing trends of SPEI at most stations located in central Poland. This study also determined changes in soil moisture contents from January 2000 to May 2020 that indicate a decreasing tendency. Cumulative water shortages from year to year led to the development of severe drought in the spring of 2020, as reflected in very low SPEI values and low soil moisture.

  • Visualizing the Average Rohde FINAL
    Visualizing of Berkeley Earth, NASA GISS, and Hadley CRU averaging techniques Robert Rohde Lead Scientist, Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature 1/15/2013 Abstract This document will provide a simple illustration of how different climate research groups combine discrete observations to construct large-scale views of Earth’s land areas. This illustration is meant as a simple way to summarize the different methodologies, though it has no specific research value beyond that. Introduction There are four major efforts to synthesize the Earth’s disparate temperature observations into a coherent picture of our planet’s climate history. These efforts are led respectively by NOAA’s National Climate Data Center (NOAA NCDC), NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Sciences (NASA GISS), a collaboration between the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit and the UK Met Office’s Hadley Centre (CRU1), and the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature group. Each group uses different averaging techniQues, Quality control procedures, homogenization techniques, and datasets. The current discussion will briefly look at the land-surface averaging methods applied by Berkeley Earth, CRU, and NASA GISS. NOAA’s method uses information from multiple times to construct an empirical orthogonal function representation of the Earth. Since the illustration performed here will only look at a single time slice, it isn’t possible to consider NOAA’s method, and hence their averaging techniQue will not be discussed here. Visualizing the Methods We shall provide an illustrative example of how the various averaging methods view the world. Rather than using temperature data, we will perform this illustration using a visual image of Earth’s land surface.

Following its sensational arrival, the politics of popular musical culture has however moved from the shared experience of protest movements and picket lines and to an individualised and celebrified consumerist experience. As a consequence what emerged, as a controversial and subversive phenomenon, has been de-fanged and transformed into a mechanism of establishment support.
