Jan Esper,Steffen Holzkämper,Ulf Büntgen,Ulf Büntgen,Bernd R. Schöne,Frank Keppler,Claudia Hartl,Scott St. George,Dana F. C. Riechelmann,Kerstin Treydte +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that Pinus sylvestris tree-ring delta C-13 and delta O-18 records from locally moist sites in central and northern Sweden contain consistently stronger climate signals than their dry site counterparts.

K. N. Nair,Edmilson Dias de Freitas,Odón R. Sánchez-Ccoyllo,M. A. F. Silva Dias,P. L. Silva Dias,Maria de Fátima Andrade,Oswaldo Massambani +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a case study on the dynamics of the urban boundary layer over the metropolitan area of Sao Paulo (MASP), Brazil, is examined for July 27, 1999 when a multiple gravity wave (GW), a low-level jet (LLJ) and a cold front (CF) all occurred in one single day in succession, making use of data from Doppler SODAR, surface meteorological instruments, satellite imageries and model derived values.

Pollen dispersal by Artemisia tridentata (Asteraceae).
TL;DR: Mechanisms underlying the dispersal of Artemisia pollen in a Wyoming sagebrush steppe are described and results indicated thatArtemisia pollen presentation is continuous but with early morning maxima.
En analys av nattliga koldioxidflöden i en boreal barrskog avseende spatial och temporal variation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed carbon dioxide fluxes from a boreal forest and mapped its spatial and temporal variations, showing an exponential correlation between the carbon flux and the air temperature (r2=0.43, Q10=2.94).

Fog climatology in Latvia
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of the frequency of fog occurring, long-term changes in fog frequency and atmospheric conditions that favour the occurrence of fog events in Latvia is presented. And two interannual maxima of fog frequency were identified in the spring and autumn; the seasonal differences in the formation of fog were also confirmed using satellite observations of low-level cloudiness.
