Greening of Svalbard in the twentieth century driven by sea ice loss and glaciers retreat by Gianmarco Ingrosso, Chiara Ceccarelli, Federico Giglio, Patrizia Giordano, Jens Hefter, Leonardo Langone, Stefano Miserocchi, Gesine Mollenhauer, Alessio Nogarotto, Mathia Sabino, Tommaso Tesi

“…Abstract The greening of previously barren landscapes in the Arctic is one of the most relevant responses of terrestrial ecosystem to climate change. Analyses of satellite data (available since ~1980) have revealed a widespread tundra advance consistent with recent global warming, but the length is insufficient to resolve the long-term variability and the precise timing of the greening onset. …”

New insights from an enhancement of hydrogeological archives of a French karst watershed over the last 50 years by Labat, David, Guilloteau, Thomas, Lamagnère, Sébastien, Dumareau, Thaïs, Haryouli, Gabin, Béranger, Sandra, Granouillac, Franck, Sivelle, Vianney

“…Karst aquifers, like most hydrological systems, are sensitive to the influence of changes in land use as well as current and future climate change. To be able to identify the effects of these changes, in particular on the variability of groundwater flows, we have endeavored to produce one of the longest hourly spring discharge time series available for a French karst watershed. …”

Simulation Effect Evaluation of CMIP6 Models on Climatic Elements in Huai River Basin by WU Chen, WANG Jingcai, SHAO Junbo, LI Xiangyu, WANG Wenyue

“…The general climate model (CMIP6) is the main means of large-scale simulation and prediction of future climate changes,but the simulation quality of its model data and applicability in different research regions need to be evaluated.Based on the measured data of 19 meteorological stations in the upper and middle reaches of the Huai River Basin from 1960 to 2014,this paper systematically evaluates the simulated climate data of 19 CMIP6 models using five precision indicators.The indicators include equidistant cumulative distribution function method,mean,dispersion coefficient (C_v),Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC),standard deviation (STD),and root-mean-square deviation (RMSE).Finally,the following conclusions are drawn:① Based on the simulation data of 19 CMIP6 models corrected for bias,the top two climate models for precipitation data simulation are preliminarily selected,including ACCESS-ESM1-5 and CMCC-ESM2.The top five climate models for simulating temperature data contain ACCESS-ESM1-5 and CMCC-ESM2;② The historical period data and measured historical climate data of the selected CMIP6 models are evaluated from two aspects of annual change trend and spatial distribution.Then,the CMIP6 model suitable for the upper and middle reaches of the Huai River Basin is verified and selected;③ Based on analyzing the influence of atmospheric circulation factors on climate,AO has a good correlation with the climate data of the upper and middle reaches of the studied basin,and the correlation between the model and atmospheric circulation data is close to the actual situation.The comprehensive evaluation shows that the most suitable models for simulating the upper and middle reaches of the Huai River Basin are ACCESS-ESM1-5 and CMCC-ESM2.The systematic evaluation of CMIP6 model data simulating the upper and middle reaches of the Huai River Basin provides theoretical and technical references for the rational selection and utilization of CMIP6 datasets for the research on climate change factors in future scenarios of the basin.…”
