Precipitation Mediates the Response of Carbon Cycle to Rising Temperature in the Mid-to-High Latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. by Xin Lin, Junsheng Li, Jianwu Luo, Xiaopu Wu, Yu Tian, Wei Wang

“…In this study we investigate how precipitation mediates the response of the carbon cycle to warming over the mid-to-high latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere (north of 30 °N). Based on atmospheric CO2 observations at Point Barrow (BRW) in Alaska, satellite-derived NDVI (a proxy of vegetation productivity), and temperature and precipitation data, we analyzed the responses of carbon cycle to temperature change in wet and dry years (with precipitation above or below the multiyear average). …”

Continuous advance in the onset of vegetation green-up in the Northern Hemisphere, during hiatuses in spring warming by Nan Jiang, Miaogen Shen, Jin Chen, Wei Yang, Xiaolin Zhu, Xufeng Wang, Josep Peñuelas

“…Abstract Previous studies have documented substantial advancing trends in the onset date of vegetation green-up (VGD) during the 1980s and 1990s over the Northern Hemisphere, while later studies based on data from the spaceborne advanced very high-resolution radiometer (AVHRR) have reported this trend stalled during the warming hiatus from the late 1990s to early 2010s. …”

Predictability of US tornado outbreak seasons using ENSO and northern hemisphere geopotential height variability by Kent H. Sparrow, Andrew E. Mercer

“…To formalize the relationship between interannual variability indices and seasonal tornado outbreak frequency, indices derived from monthly mean Northern Hemisphere 500-hPa and 1000-hPa geopotential height fields and Niño 3.4 indices for ENSO phase were compared to annual tornado outbreak seasonal frequencies. …”

Analysis of the Northern Hemisphere Atmospheric Circulation Response to Arctic Ice Reduction Based on Simulation Results by Gennady Platov, Vladimir Krupchatnikov, Viacheslav Gradov, Irina Borovko, Evgeny Volodin

“…In this work, we consider a series of numerical experiments to identify the role of Arctic sea ice reduction in affecting climate trends in the Northern Hemisphere. With this aim in mind, we use two independent mechanisms of ice reduction. …”
