Irreversible climate change due to carbon dioxide emissions
TL;DR: The climate change that takes place due to increases in carbon dioxide concentration is largely irreversible for 1,000 years after emissions stop, showing that thermal expansion of the warming ocean provides a conservative lower limit to irreversible global average sea level rise.

Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a complete Himalayan hydrological budget: Spatiotemporal distribution of snowmelt and rainfall and their impact on river discharge
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of validated remotely-sensed climate parameters was used to characterize the spatiotemporal distribution of rainfall, snowfall, and evapotranspiration in order to quantify their relative contribution to mean river discharge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of climate and cryospheric change in the Tibetan Plateau
Shichang Kang,Qinglong You,Qinglong You,Wolfgang-Albert Flügel,Nick Pepin,Y. Yan,Yang Xu,Jie Huang +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the recent changes observed in climate elements and cryospheric indicators on the Tibetan Plateau before discussing current unresolved issues concerning climate change in the TP, including the temporal and spatial components of this change, and the consistency of change as represented by different data sources.

Nick Rayner,David E. Parker,E. B. Horton,Chris K. Folland,Lisa V. Alexander,David P. Rowell,Elizabeth C. Kent,Alexey Kaplan +7 more
TL;DR: HadISST1 as mentioned in this paper replaces the global sea ice and sea surface temperature (GISST) data sets and is a unique combination of monthly globally complete fields of SST and sea ice concentration on a 1° latitude-longitude grid from 1871.

Journal ArticleDOI
Interpretation of recent Southern Hemisphere climate change
TL;DR: In this article, it is argued that the largest and most significant tropospheric trends can be traced to recent trends in the lower stratospheric polar vortex, which are due largely to photochemical ozone losses, and the trend toward stronger circumpolar flow has contributed substantially to the observed warming over the Antarctic Peninsula and Patagonia and to the cooling over eastern Antarctica and the Antarctic plateau.
