1. Atmospheric dynamics and the hydrologic cycle in warm climates
Sammanfattning : Past warm climates represent one extreme of Earth's known climate states. Here, we study warm climates in both idealized simulations and full-complexity general circulation model (GCM) simulations of the early Eocene epoch, approximately 50 million years ago. LÄS MER
2. The Precipitationshed : Concepts, Methods, and Applications
Sammanfattning : Human societies are reliant on the functioning of the hydrologic cycle. The atmospheric branch of this cycle, often referred to as moisture recycling in the context of land-to-land exchange, refers to water evaporating, traveling through the atmosphere, and falling out as precipitation.

3. Changes of evapotranspiration and water cycle in China during the past decades
Sammanfattning : Evapotranspiration is the second largest quantity in the water cycle and an important indicator for climate changes. Accurate estimations and better understanding of evapotranspiration are required in hydrologic studies and water resources modelling under stationary and changing climate conditions. LÄS MER
4. The role of the hydrological cycle in forest ecosystems : flow path, nutrient cycling and water-carbon interaction
Sammanfattning : Forest ecosystems, covering over a third of land on the Earth, play a significant role in the global hydrological cycle, and influence soil erosion and climate change. However, the distribution, movements, quality of water, and hydrological processes in forested ecosystems are not well understood yet. LÄS MER
5. Seasonality and variability of stratospheric water vapour
Sammanfattning : Stratospheric water vapour (SWV) plays a critical role in the climate system by modulating the radiation budget and influencing the stratospheric chemistry. Studying changes of SWV on global scale is helpful for our understanding of climate change. LÄS MER
