How to assess water quality change in temperate headwater catchments of western Europe under climate change: examples and perspectives by Gascuel-Odoux, Chantal, Fovet, Ophélie, Faucheux, Mikaël, Salmon-Monviola, Jordy, Strohmenger, Laurent

“…We present examples of these effects using a retrospective analysis across European catchments according to three objectives: (i) identification of extreme or anomalous values in climatic and chemical variables at multiple time scales, (ii) assessment of variability in seasonal and inter-annual chemical cycles, and (iii) identification of a general water chemistry response to the North Atlantic Oscillation. From these examples, we highlight four challenges for research on the relationships between climate and water quality: (i) developing functional typologies of chemical elements, (ii) performing multi-temporal and multi-spatial analysis by aggregating data into water-cycle periods, (iii) decoupling effects of climate conditions and human activities by testing hypotheses using parsimonious models, and (iv) incorporating water quality and aquatic ecosystem health into integrated models. …”

Russia and NATO’s ‘Open Door’ Policy in the Post-Bipolar Period by P. Ye. Smirnov

“…A major problem for Russia in formulating and defending its national interests after the Cold War was to fit in the European political order, dominated by the collective West and its institutions. The North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) was not dissolved after completing the mission it had been created for; moreover, it started taking on ever new responsibilities to keep the European allies in the U.S. sphere of influence. …”

Wet Deposition and Long-range Transport of Major Ions Related to Snow at Northwestern Himalayas (India) by Anshu Sharma, U. C. Kulshrestha

“…Backward airmass trajectory analysis revealed that the ionic species were contributed by the airmasses coming from North Atlantic Ocean, Africa, Europe, Middle East, and Mediterranean region to all these sites through long-range transport (LRT).…”

Dynamic of seismic noise sources in the Mediterranean Sea: implication for monitoring using noise correlations by Stehly, Laurent, Delouche, Estelle, Tomasetto, Lisa, Ranjan, Pratul

“…We show that at short periods (${<}$3 s), the noise field in Europe is dominated by surface waves coming from the north Atlantic ocean, with also a significant contribution from the Adriatic and Aegean Seas in southern Europe. …”

Climatic Background and Prediction of Boreal Winter PM2.5 Concentrations in Hubei Province, China by Yuanyue Huang, Zijun Tang, Zhengxuan Yuan, Qianqian Zhang

“…For the atmospheric pattern anomalies over Hubei Province, the North Atlantic SST mode (NA) promotes the southward intrusion of northerlies, while the Northwest Pacific (NWP) and South Pacific (SPC) SST modes enhance wet deposition through increased precipitation, showing a negative correlation with DJF-HBPMC. …”

Investigating the Temporal and Spatial Characteristics of Lower Atmospheric Ducts in the Arctic via Long-Term Numerical Simulations by Jinyue Wang, Xiaofeng Zhao, Jing Zou, Pinglv Yang, Bo Wang, Shuai Yang, Zhijin Qiu, Zhiqian Li, Tong Hu, Miaomiao Song

“…Regionally, surface ducts mainly occurred in the land areas surrounding the Arctic Ocean, while more elevated ducts were found in the North Atlantic Sea area. Additionally, a negative correlation was observed between the polar vortex indices and the characteristics of ducts, particularly for surface ducts. …”

Interdecadal changes in three-dimensional atmospheric circulation patterns related to summer temperature variability in Eastern China modulated by the interdecadal Pacific Oscillat... by Jianjun Peng, Shujuan Hu, Ruiqiang Ding, Deqian Li, Jingjing Zhang

“…Through statistical and dynamical analysis, the emergence of local zonal circulation is attributed to the influences of positive sea surface temperature anomalies in North Atlantic during the negative phase of the IPO, which propagate to East Asia through intensified jet stream waviness. …”

Decomposition of skill scores for conditional verification: impact of Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation phases on the predictability of decadal temperature forecasts by A. Richling, J. Grieger, H. W. Rust

“…With respect to the chosen western European North Atlantic sector, the decadal prediction system “preop-dcpp-HR” performs better than the uninitialized simulations mostly due to contributions during the positive AMO phase driven by the subset skill score. …”

Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Extreme Precipitation and Its Future Trend Analysis in Huaihe River Basin by GUO Wei, YE Wen, ZHU Xuchao, WU Wei, WANG Lu, GAO Huamin, ZHANG Haiming, SHI Shaohui

“…Under the SSP5-8.5 scenario during that time period, the future change trends of extreme precipitation intensity, frequency, and duration are 158%, 130%, and 450% more than the historical trends in the Huaihe River Basin. (3) The correlation between extreme precipitation indices and southern oscillation index (SOI) is higher than that of north Atlantic oscillation (NAO). The relationship between extreme precipitation of the same type and atmospheric circulation factors is relatively similar. …”

“…Here we apply three palaeoproteomic techniques, ZooMS, SPIN-like data analysis and a targeted database search to narrow down the taxonomic identification of an unusually large Bronze Age bone tool from Heiloo, the Netherlands, to the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis). Additionally, the tool was investigated for use-wear, which showed that it was likely used for the processing of plant fibres. …”
