A novel assessment of recent changes in air-sea freshwater fluxes has been conducted using a surface temperature-salinity framework applied to four atmospheric reanalyses. Viewed in the T-S space of the ocean surface, the complex pattern of the longitude-latitude space mean global Precipitation minus Evaporation (PME) reduces to three distinct regions. The analysis is conducted for the period 1...

Norway has a long-standing tradition in twin research, but the data collected in several population-based twin studies were not coordinated centrally or easily accessible to the scientific community. In 2009, the Norwegian Twin Registry was established at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) in Oslo with the purpose of creating a single research resource for Norwegian twin data. As o...

We recall the contribution of Montanari’s paper [GGM76] and sketch a framework for observable behaviour specification that blends some of these early ideas, seen from a more modern perspective, with our own approach.

The annual precipitation over the Tianshan Mountains experienced an inter-decadal transition shift towards increasing trend in late 1980s. This study conducts attribution analysis from atmospheric circulation factors based on Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) dataset and NCEP/NACR reanalysis data. results show that (a) Winter is affected by multi-decadal oscillations with periods o...
