Northern Hemisphere atmospheric stilling partly attributed to an increase in surface roughness
TLDR
In this article, Mesoscale model simulations suggest that an increase in surface roughness is contributing to the stilling trend in the mid-latitude Northern Hemisphere over the past few decades.Abstract:
Surface winds have declined in China, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, the United States and Australia over the past few decades. Mesoscale model simulations suggest that an increase in surface roughness is contributing to the stilling trend in the mid-latitude Northern Hemisphere.read more

TL;DR: It is shown that long-term trends in agricultural practices are consistent with increasing phosphorus loading to the western basin of the lake, and that these trends, coupled with meteorological conditions in spring 2011, produced record-breaking nutrient loads.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the literature to assess whether stilling is a globally widespread phenomenon and highlight the contribution of the aerodynamic and radiative components to these declining evaporation rates.

Recent climate changes over the Tibetan Plateau and their impacts on energy and water cycle: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed recent research progress in the climate changes and explored their impacts on the Plateau energy and water cycle, based on which a conceptualmodeltosynthesize these changes was proposed andurgent issues to be explored were summarized.

TL;DR: The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) onboard NASA's Aura satellite has been providing global observations of the ozone layer and key atmospheric pollutant gases, such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), since October 2004 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The NCEP/NCAR 40-yr reanalysis uses a frozen state-of-the-art global data assimilation system and a database as complete as possible, except that the horizontal resolution is T62 (about 210 km) as discussed by the authors.

A Nonhydrostatic Version of the Penn State–NCAR Mesoscale Model: Validation Tests and Simulation of an Atlantic Cyclone and Cold Front
TL;DR: In this article, a nonhydrostatic extension to the PA-NCAR Mesoscale Model is presented, which employs reference pressure as the basis for a terrain-following vertical coordinate and the fully compressible system of equations.

Expansion of the Hadley cell under global warming
TL;DR: In this paper, a scaling analysis supports the notion that the poleward extent of the Hadley cell is set by the location where the thermally driven jet first becomes baroclinically unstable.

Widening of the tropical belt in a changing climate
TL;DR: The tropical belt has been widening over past decades, shifting the dry subtropical climate zones polewards around the world as discussed by the authors, and the observed recent rate of expansion is greater than climate model projections of expansion over the twenty-first century, suggesting that there is still much to be learned about this aspect of global climate change.
