World Meteorological Organization Greenhouse Gas Bulletin

Published:October 2017

Publisher:World Meteorological Organization

This report provided an overview of the in situ measured greenhouse gases for 2016. Levels of CO2, methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) reached new highs in 2016 which were respectively, 145%, 257% and 122% of pre-industrial (before 1750) levels. Read More →

The Effect of Increased Fresh Water from Antarctic Ice Shelves on Future Trends in Antarctic Sea Ice

Published:July 2017

Author(s):R. Bintanja, G.J. van Oldenborgh, C.A. Katsman

Publisher:Cambridge University Press

This study investigates the extent to which future sea-ice trends are influenced by projected increases in Antarctic freshwater due to subsurface melt, finding that the additional freshwater significantly offsets the decline in sea-ice area. Read More →

Attribution of the Observed Spring Snowpack Decline in British Columbia to Anthropogenic Climate Change

Published:June 2017

Author(s):Mohammad Reza Najafi, Francis Zwiers, and Nathan Gillett

Publisher:Journal of Climate

Robust anthropogenic influence is detected in three Canadian river basins: Fraser Columbia, and Campbell. Read More →

Influence of Anthropogenic Climate Change on Planetary Wave Resonance and Extreme Weather Events

Published:March 2017

Author(s):Michael E. Mann, Stefan Rahmstorf, Kai Kornhuber, Byron A. Steinman, Sonya K. Miller, Dim Coumou

Publisher:Scientific Reports

This study uses climate models and observational surface temperature datasets to demonstrate an increase in the projection for a fingerprint in the zonal mean surface temperature profile that is associated with QRA-favorable conditions. Read More →

Perspective Has a Strong Effect on the Calculation of Historical Contributions to Global Warming

Published:February 2017

Author(s):Ragnhild B Skeie, Jan Fuglestvedt, Terje Berntsen, Glen P Peters, Robbie Andrew, Myles Allen, Steffen Kallbekken

Publisher:IOP Science

This study explores countries' emissions responsibilities by presenting a broad and systematic analysis of how various scientific and policy-related choices influence the calculations of historical contributions for individual countries.Read More →

Attribution of the local Hadley cell widening in the Southern Hemisphere

Published:January 2017

Author(s):Yeon‐Hee Kim, Seung‐Ki Min, Seok‐Woo Son, Jung Choi

Publisher:Advancing Earth and Space Science

Attribution analysis of long‐term changes in the Hadley cell indicates a possible attribution of the observed local HC widening over these regions to anthropogenic forcings.Read More →
