Global Change and the Earth System: A Planet Under Pressure
Will Steffen,P. D. Tyson +1 more
TL;DR: The PAGES research community works toward improving our understanding of the Earth's changing environment by placing current and future global changes in a long term perspective, they can be assessed relative to natural variability as discussed by the authors.

Journal ArticleDOI
Horizontal and vertical transport of air over southern Africa
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described the tropical air trajectories that occurred during the Southern African Fire-Atmosphere Research Initiative (SAFARI) in terms of a circulation classification scheme and the vertical stability of the atmosphere.
