New estimates of the future effect of air pollution on Earth´s radiation budget
Almost all IPCC scenarios for 2015 to 2100 show a reduction in the air pollution by anthropogenic aerosols for the future, but their effects on the…
Predicting the variable CO2 uptake by the ocean
The ocean CO2 uptake is predictable for two years in advance, according to new paper in Science Advances by Dr Hongmei Li, Dr Tatiana Ilyina, Dr…
Freshwater release and elevation loss affect climate during Heinrich events
A team of researchers around Dr. Florian Ziemen in the department "The Ocean in the Earth System" at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M)…
EOS editors highlight paper: Sea-surface carbon patterns linked to large-scale climate modes
Observation-based estimates show the oceanic uptake of carbon dioxide is varying substantially in time, largely driven by the variability in the…
More peat carbon in warm climates
In a ground-breaking study Dr Thomas Kleinen and Prof. Victor Brovkin from the Department "The Land in the Earth System" at the Max Planck Institute…
