Chris Huntingford,Terry Marsh,Adam A. Scaife,Elizabeth J. Kendon,Jamie Hannaford,Alison L. Kay,Mike Lockwood,Christel Prudhomme,Nick Reynard,Simon Parry,Jason Lowe,James A. Screen,Helen C. Ward,Malcolm J. Roberts,Peter A. Stott,Vicky Bell,Mark J. Bailey,Alan Jenkins,Tim Legg,Friederike E. L. Otto,Neil Massey,Nathalie Schaller,Julia Slingo,Myles R. Allen +23 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the scale of the 2013/14 UK flooding and review a broad range of Earth system drivers affecting UK rainfall, and discuss the requirements of hydrological models to transform rainfall into river flows and flooding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urban Multi-scale Environmental Predictor (UMEP)
Fredrik Lindberg,C. S. B. Grimmond,Andrew Gabey,Bei Huang,Christoph W. Kent,Ting Sun,N.E. Theeuwes,Leena Jrvi,Helen C. Ward,I. Capel-Timms,Yuanyong Chang,Per Jonsson,Niklas Krave,Dongwei Liu,David Meyer,K. Frans G. Olofson,Jianguo Tan,Dag Wstberg,Lingbo Xue,Zhe Zhang +19 more
TL;DR: Applications are presented to illustrate UMEP's potential in the identification of heat waves and cold waves; the effect of green infrastructure on runoff; the effects of buildings on human thermal stress; solar energy production; and the impact of human activities on heat emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-season eddy covariance observations of energy, water and carbon fluxes over a suburban area in Swindon, UK
TL;DR: In this article, Eddy covariance measurements of the turbulent sensible heat, latent heat and carbon dioxide fluxes for 12 months (2011-2012) are reported for the first time for a suburban area in the UK.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil water content in southern England derived from a cosmic-ray soil moisture observing system - COSMOS-UK
Jonathan Evans,Helen C. Ward,J.R. Blake,E. J. Hewitt,Ross Morrison,Matthew Fry,Lucy Ball,Luisa C. Doughty,J. W. Libre,Olivia Hitt,Daniel Rylett,Richard J. Ellis,Alan Warwick,Milo Brooks,M. A. Parkes,G. M. H. Wright,Andrew C. Singer,D. B. Boorman,Alan Jenkins +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the UK COsmic-ray Soil Moisture Observing System (COSMOS-UK) is used to provide area-averaged near surface (top 10-20 cm) volumetric soil moisture content at the field scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of urban density on carbon dioxide exchanges: Observations of dense urban, suburban and woodland areas of southern England.
Helen C. Ward,Simone Kotthaus,C. S. B. Grimmond,Alex Bjorkegren,Matt Wilkinson,William Morrison,Jonathan Evans,James I. L. Morison,M. Iamarino +8 more
TL;DR: Annual CO2 exchanges are significantly different between sites, demonstrating the impacts of increasing urban density (and decreasing vegetation fraction) on the CO2 flux to the atmosphere.
