Carbon dioxide sources from Alaska driven by increasing early winter respiration from Arctic tundra.
High-latitude ecosystems have the capacity to release large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere in response to increasing temperatures, representing a potentially significant positive feedback within the climate system. Here, we combine aircraft and tower observations of atmospheric CO2 with remote sensing data and meteorological products to derive temporally and spatially resolve...

متن کاملClimate-Driven Effects of Fire on Winter Habitat for Caribou in the Alaskan-Yukon Arctic
Climatic warming has direct implications for fire-dominated disturbance patterns in northern ecosystems. A transforming wildfire regime is altering plant composition and successional patterns, thus affecting the distribution and potentially the abundance of large herbivores. Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are an important subsistence resource for communities throughout the north and a species that...
متن کاملThe Arctic Winter Sea Ice Quadrupole Revisited
The dominant mode of Arctic sea ice variability in winter is often maintained to be represented by a quadrupole structure, comprising poles of one sign in the Okhotsk, Greenland, and Barents Seas and of opposing sign in the Labrador and Bering Seas, forced by the North Atlantic Oscillation. This study revisits this large-scale wintermode of sea ice variability usingmicrowave satellite and reana...
متن کاملNucleation in synoptically forced cirrostratus
[1] Formation and evolution of cirrostratus in response to weak, uniform, and constant synoptic forcing is simulated using a one-dimensional numerical model with explicit microphysics, in which the particle size distribution in each grid box is fully resolved. A series of tests of the model response to nucleation modes (homogeneous-freezingonly/heterogeneous nucleation) and heterogeneous nuclea...
