Changing structure of European precipitation: Longer wet periods leading to more abundant rainfalls

Reference Name: Zolina et al. 2010

Published April 12, 2011

Analysis of the duration of wet spells (consequent days with significant precipitation) in Europe and associated precipitation is performed over the period 1950–2008 using daily rain gauge data. During the last 60 years wet periods have become longer over most of Europe by about 15–20%. The lengthening of wet periods was not caused by an [...]

Stronger ocean circulation and increased melting under Pine Island Glacier ice shelf

Reference Name: Jacobs et al. 2011

Published June 27, 2011

In 1994, ocean measurements near Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier showed that the ice shelf buttressing the glacier was melting rapidly1. This melting was attributed to the presence of relatively warm, deep water on the Amundsen Sea continental shelf. Heat, salt and ice budgets along with ocean modelling provided steady-state calving and melting rates2, 3. Subsequent [...]
