Global terrestrial stilling: does Earth’s greening play a role? by Zhenzhong Zeng, Shilong Piao, Laurent Z X Li, Philippe Ciais, Yue Li, Xitian Cai, Long Yang, Maofeng Liu, Eric F Wood

“…Both models, forced with observed sea surface temperature and sea ice and with LAI from satellite observation, captured the observed strengthening of Pacific trade winds and Southern Ocean westerly winds. However, these simulations did not reproduce the weakening of surface winds over land as significantly as it appears in the observations (−0.006 m s ^−1 versus −0.198 m s ^−1 during 1982–2011), indicating that enhanced LAI (greening) is not a dominant driver for terrestrial stilling.…”

Physical, Chemical and Biological Characteristics of Dew and Rainwater during the Dry Season of Tropical Islands by Marc Muselli, Owen Clus, Pascal Ortega, Iryna Milimouk, Daniel Beysens

“…They have been collected in two characteristic tropical islands of French Polynesia, Tikehau (TKH), a low-lying coral atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago, and the mountainous Tahiti island at the University of French Polynesia (TAH). Trade winds dominate the trajectory of air masses, ensuring constant temperature and humidity to the lower layers of the atmosphere where dew forms. …”

Using volcanic gases to understand open-vent volcanoes by Barrington, Charlotte

“…However, I find that most of these periodicities are also present in the plume speeds used to determine SO2 emission rates and are related to intra- and inter-seasonality in global trade winds and not volcanic in origin.…”

Local and remote forcing on the interannual variations of the sedimentary δ15N in Santa Barbara Basin during the past 80 years by Hanyue Xu, Hanyue Xu, Da-Wei Li, Da-Wei Li, Hong-Chun Li, Hong-Chun Li, Meixun Zhao, Meixun Zhao, William M. Berelson, Gui’e Jin, Li Li, Satabdi Misra

“…The long-term variations of the SBB δ15Nsed signature show a general decreasing trend from 1940 to the late 1980s, low values during 1980~2000, and an increase afterward, which is thought to reflect changes in ETNP denitrification induced by the strength of tropical trade winds. Our results also reveal a series of abrupt annual to multiannual changes, superimposed on the long-term variation mentioned above. …”

Bio-Optical Properties of Two Neigboring Coastal Regions of Tropical Northern Australia: The Van Diemen Gulf and Darwin Harbour by David Blondeau-Patissier, David Blondeau-Patissier, David Blondeau-Patissier, Thomas Schroeder, Lesley A. Clementson, Vittorio E. Brando, Diane Purcell, Diane Purcell, Phillip Ford, David K. Williams, David Doxaran, Janet Anstee, Nandika Thapar, Miguel Tovar-Valencia

“…The major processes explaining the seasonal variability observed in the Van Diemen Gulf are resuspension from seasonal south-easterly trade winds in combination with the tidal energy and shallow bathymetry during the dry season months, and mostly terrestrial river runoff during the monsoon which discharge terrestrial CDOM from the surrounding wetlands. …”

Reproducibility of Coral Mn/Ca‐Based Wind Reconstructions at Kiritimati Island and Butaritari Atoll by Hussein R. Sayani, Diane M. Thompson, Jessica E. Carilli, Thomas M. Marchitto, Alice U. Chapman, Kim M. Cobb

“…Abstract Global surface temperatures during the twentieth century are characterized by multidecadal periods of accelerated or reduced warming, which are thought to be driven by Pacific decadal variability, specifically changes in trade‐wind strength. However, the relationship between trade‐wind strength and global surface warming remains poorly constrained due to the scarcity of instrumental wind observations. …”
