Amending the algorithm of aerosol–radiation interactions in WRF-Chem (v4.4) by J. Feng, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, Q. Du, Z. Yang, C. Jin

“…However, in the current version, aerosol optical properties are only calculated in four shortwave bands, while only two of them are used to interpolate optical properties towards the 14 shortwave bands used in the Rapid Radiative Transfer Model for Global Climate Models (RRTMG) scheme. In this study, we use a “Resolved” algorithm to estimate aerosol radiative feedback in WRF-Chem, in which aerosol optical properties are calculated in all 14 shortwave bands. …”

Large-scale spatio-temporal variation in vital rates and population dynamics of an alpine bird by Nater, Chloé R., Frassinelli, Francesco, Martin, James A., Nilsen, Erlend B.

“…Slower life history patterns (higher survival, lower recruitment) appeared to be more common at higher latitudes and altitudes, portending differential effects of climate change on ptarmigan across their range. While there was variation in the magnitude of the effect small rodent occupancy had on recruitment, the relationships were predominantly positive and thus consistent with the alternative prey hypothesis. …”
