Submesoscale flows impact Agulhas leakage in ocean simulations
; ; (Communications Earth & Environment, 2021-09-28)
Agulhas leakage, the warm and salty inflow of Indian Ocean water into the Atlantic Ocean, is of importance for the climate-relevant Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. South of Africa, the eastward turning Agulhas ... -
Climate change—that is not real! A comparative analysis of climate-sceptic think tanks in the USA and Germany
; (Climatic Change, 2021-01-24)
The science is clear: climate change is real. In 2015, 195 countries adopted the global climate deal in Paris. Nonetheless, numerous well-organized conservative think tanks (CTTs) deny that climate change is happening. We ... -
Structure and Seasonal Variability of the Arctic Boundary Current North of Severnaya Zemlya

Quantification of the temporally varying streamflow intermittence at continental scales provides an important basis for evaluating biodiversity, ecosystem functions and ecosystem services in rivers as well as water resources ... -
Winter Vertical Diffusion Rates in the Arctic Ocean, Estimated From 7Be Measurements and Dissipation Rate Profiles
; ; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2023-02-14)
Ocean turbulent mixing is a key process affecting the uptake and redistribution of heat, carbon, nutrients, oxygen and other dissolved gasses. Vertical turbulent diffusivity sets the rates of water mass transformations and ... -
Controls on Flood Trends Across the United States
; ; ; (Water Resources Research, 2023-01-30)
Trends in flood magnitudes vary across the conterminous USA (CONUS). There have been attempts to identify what controls these regionally varying trends, but these attempts were limited to certain—for example, climatic—variables ... -
Flood hazard mapping for data-scarce and ungauged coastal river basins using advanced hydrodynamic models, high temporal-spatial resolution remote sensing precipitation data, and satellite imageries
; (Natural Hazards, 2021-06-16)
This paper presents an integrated approach to simulate flooding and inundation for small- and medium-sized coastal river basins where measured data are not available or scarce. By coupling the rainfall–runoff model, the ... -
Strong glacial-interglacial variability in upper ocean hydrodynamics, biogeochemistry, and productivity in the southern Indian Ocean
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; (Communications Earth & Environment, 2021-05-05)
In the southern Indian Ocean, the position of the subtropical front – the boundary between colder, fresher waters to the south and warmer, saltier waters to the north – has a strong influence on the upper ocean hydrodynamics ... -
Impact of climate variability of the Western Tropical Pacific on maximum salinity water in the South China Sea
;; (Ocean Dynamics, 2021-08-31)
Salinity observations in the Vietnamese upwelling area in June 2016 indicated a significant increase in the salinity of the maximum salinity water (MSW). The source of MSW inflow into the South China Sea (SCS) is a mixture ... -
When does risk become residual? A systematic review of research on flood risk management in West Africa
(Regional Environmental Change, 2021-08-25)Flood events in West Africa have devastating impacts on the lives of people. Additionally, developments such as climate change, settlement expansion into flood-prone areas, and modification of rivers are expected to increase ... -
Hurricane Matthew in 2100: effects of extreme sea level rise scenarios on a highly valued coastal area (Palm Beach, FL, USA)
; ; ; (Geo-Marine Letters, 2021-09-08)
Sea-level rise represents a severe hazard for populations living within low-elevation coastal zones and is already largely affecting coastal communities worldwide. As sea level continues to rise following unabated greenhouse ... -
Sedimentological evidence for seiching in a swell-dominated headland-bay system: Table Bay, Western Cape, South Africa
