Association between empirically estimated monsoon dynamics and other weather factors and historical tea Yields in China: Results from a yield response model
<p>Farmers in China’s tea-growing regions report that monsoon dynamics and other weather factors are changing and that this is affecting tea harvest decisions. To assess the effect of climate change

El Niño and the Indian rainfall in June
<p>We have addressed the question of whether the massive deficit of 42% in rainfall over the Indian region in June 2014 can be attributed primarily to the El Niño. We have shown that the variation

Contribution of large-scale circulation anomalies to changes in extreme precipitation frequency in the United States
<p>The mean global climate has warmed as a result of the increasing emission of greenhouse gases induced by human activities. This warming is considered the main reason for the increasing number of extreme

The importance of interacting climate modes on Australia’s contribution to global carbon cycle extremes
<p>The global carbon cycle is highly sensitive to climate-driven fluctuations of precipitation, especially in the Southern Hemisphere. This was clearly manifested by a 20% increase of the global terrestrial

Tell readers that climate change is part of life, scribes urged
Contextualising the impact of climate change for a local audience was the focus of a knowledge sharing workshop conducted for the region’s journalists by the M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF),

Toward a quantitative and empirical dissolved organic carbon budget for the Gulf of Maine, a semienclosed shelf sea
<p>A time series of organic carbon export from Gulf of Maine (GoM) watersheds was compared to a time series of biological, chemical, bio-optical, and hydrographic properties, measured across the GoM between

Integrated crop water management might sustainably halve the global food gap
<p>As planetary boundaries are rapidly being approached, humanity has little room for additional expansion and conventional intensification of agriculture, while a growing world population further spreads

Direct nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes from soils under different land use in Brazil—a critical review
<p>Brazil typifies the land use changes happening in South America, where natural vegetation is continuously converted into agriculturally used lands, such as cattle pastures and croplands. Such changes

Climate and the timing of Imported cases as determinants of the dengue outbreak in Guangzhou, 2014: Evidence from a mathematical model
<p>As the world’s fastest spreading vector-borne disease, dengue was estimated to infect more than 390 million people in 2010, a 30-fold increase in the past half century. Although considered to

Rainfall variations induced by the lunar gravitational atmospheric tide and their implications for the relationship between tropical rainfall and humidity
<p>Classical tidal theory predicts that the lunar gravitational semidiurnal tide (L2) should induce perturbations in relative humidity (RH). Adiabatic expansion in divergent flow in advance of the L2 pressure
