Abstract: he world?s tropical coral reefs are at risk of severe bleaching episodes and species decline in response to global climate variability. The ecological and economic value of reef ecosystems is enormous, yet very little is ...

Abstract: recipitation falling in the Snowy Mountains region of southeastern Australia provides fuel for hydroelectric power generation and environmental flows along major river systems, as well as critical water resources for ...

Abstract: AbstractThe process of pyroconvection occurs when fire-released heat, moisture, and/or aerosols induce or augment convection in the atmosphere. Prediction of pyroconvection presents a set of complex problems for meteorologists ...

Abstract: he thermal environment of a coral reef is moderated by complex interactions of air?sea heat and moisture fluxes, local to synoptic-scale weather and reef hydrodynamics. Measurements of air?sea energy fluxes over coral reefs ...

Abstract: Foehn winds resulting from topographic modification of airflow in the lee of mountain barriers are frequently experienced in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs) of Antarctica. Strong foehn winds in the MDVs cause dramatic warming ...

Abstract: hunderstorm-affected communities develop an awareness of ?hotspot? regions that historically experience more frequent or intense storm activity across many years. A scientifically based understanding of this localized ...

Abstract: AbstractBoundary layer evolution in response to diurnal forcing is manifested at the mesobeta and smaller scales of the atmosphere. Because this variability resides on subsynoptic scales, the potential influence upon ...
