Incorporating Model Quality Information in Climate Change Detection and Attribution Studies

August 2009
B. D. Santer, K. E. Taylor, P. J. Gleckler, C. Bonfils, T. P. Barnett, D. W. Pierce, T. M. L. Wigley, C. Mears, F. J. Wentz, W. Brüggemann, N. P. Gillett, S. A. Klein, S. Solomon, P. A. Stott, M. F. Wehner
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS)
This study examines whether water vapor detection and attribution results are sensitive to the quality of climate models, finding that estimates of an anthropogenic water vapor fingerprint are insensitive to current model uncertainties.Read More →

Impact of Growing Season Temperature on Wheat Productivity in China

June 2009
LiangzhiYou, Mark W.Rosegrant, StanleyWood, DongshengSun
Agricultural and Forest Meteorology
This article emphasizes the necessity of including such major influencing factors as physical inputs into the crop yield-climate function in order to have an accurate estimation of climate impact on crop yields.Read More →
