Nighttime heat waves in the Euro-Mediterranean region: definition, characterisation, and seasonal prediction by Verónica Torralba, Stefano Materia, Leone Cavicchia, M Carmen Álvarez-Castro, Chloé Prodhomme, Ronan McAdam, Enrico Scoccimarro, Silvio Gualdi

“…This work has revealed that state-of-the-art seasonal forecast systems can represent the interannual variability of both HWMI and NDQ90 in Southern Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, but they show limitations in Northern Europe. The predictive capabilities of the seasonal forecasts in specific regions demonstrate the potential of these predictions for the effective management of the risks associated with summer NHWs.…”

Regional responses of surface ozone in Europe to the location of high-latitude blocks and subtropical ridges by C. Ordóñez, D. Barriopedro, R. García-Herrera, P. M. Sousa, J. L. Schnell

“…In particular, blocks within the EUR sector yield positive ozone anomalies of  ∼  5–10 ppb over large parts of central Europe in spring and northern Europe in summer. Over 20 and 30 % of the days with blocks in that sector register exceedances of the 90th percentile of the seasonal ozone distribution at many European locations during spring and summer, respectively. …”

Toward Automated Machine Learning-Based Hyperspectral Image Analysis in Crop Yield and Biomass Estimation by Kai-Yun Li, Raul Sampaio de Lima, Niall G. Burnside, Ele Vahtmäe, Tiit Kutser, Karli Sepp, Victor Henrique Cabral Pinheiro, Ming-Der Yang, Ants Vain, Kalev Sepp

“…This research integrated two important open-sourced systems (R and Python) combined with automated hyperspectral narrowband vegetation index calculation and the state-of-the-art AI-based automated machine learning (AutoML) technology to estimate yield and biomass, based on three crop categories (spring wheat, pea and oat mixture, and spring barley with red clover) with multifunctional cultivation practices in northern Europe and Estonia. Our study showed the estimated capacity of the empirical AutoML regression model was significant. …”

Dynamical response of Mediterranean precipitation to greenhouse gases and aerosols by T. Tang, D. Shindell, B. H. Samset, O. Boucher, P. M. Forster, Ø. Hodnebrog, G. Myhre, J. Sillmann, A. Voulgarakis, T. Andrews, G. Faluvegi, G. Faluvegi, D. Fläschner, T. Iversen, M. Kasoar, V. Kharin, A. Kirkevåg, J.-F. Lamarque, D. Olivié, T. Richardson, C. W. Stjern, T. Takemura

“…WMGHGs cause a similar SLP change, and both are associated with a northward diversion of the jet stream and storm tracks, reducing precipitation in the Mediterranean while increasing precipitation in northern Europe. Though the applied forcings were much larger, if forcings are scaled to those of the historical period of 1901–2010, roughly one-third (31±17 %) of the precipitation decrease would be attributable to global BC forcing with the remainder largely attributable to WMGHGs, whereas global scattering sulfate aerosols would have negligible impacts. …”

Imprint of Holocene Climate Variability on Cold‐Water Coral Reef Growth at the SW Rockall Trough Margin, NE Atlantic by Lucile Bonneau, Christophe Colin, Edwige Pons‐Branchu, Furu Mienis, Nadine Tisnérat‐Laborde, Dominique Blamart, Mary Elliot, Tim Collart, Norbert Frank, Lorna Foliot, Eric Douville

“…Several short time intervals of decreased CWC occurrences closely match prominent increases in North Atlantic drift ice and storminess in Northern Europe. We, therefore, propose that high detrital supply and/or changes in the vertical density gradient associated with millennial‐scale ice‐rafted detritus (IRD) events are the likely controlling factors for CWC growth and subsequent mound formation on the SW Rockall Trough margin.…”
