Coral-based reconstructions of sea surface temperatures (SSTs) using Sr/Ca, U/Ca and δ18O ratios are important tools for quantitative analysis of past climate variabilities. However, post-depositional alteration of coral aragonite, particularly early diagenesis, restrict the accuracy of calibrated proxies even on young corals. Considering the diagenetic effects, we present new Mid to Late...

Microphysics and dynamics of snowfall associated with a warm conveyor belt over Korea

Gehring, Josué ; Oertel, Annika ; Vignon, Étienne ; Jullien, Nicolas ; Besic, Nikola ; Berne, Alexis

In: Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020, vol. 20, no. 12, p. 7373–7392

On 28 February 2018, 57 mm of precipitation associated with a warm conveyor belt (WCB) fell within 21 h over South Korea. To investigate how the large-scale circulation influenced the microphysics of this intense precipitation event, we used radar measurements, snowflake photographs and radiosounding data from the International Collaborative Experiments for Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic and...

Synoptic conditions and atmospheric moisture pathways associated with virga and precipitation over coastal Adélie Land in Antarctica

Jullien, Nicolas ; Vignon, Étienne ; Sprenger, Michael ; Aemisegger, Franziska ; Berne, Alexis

In: The Cryosphere, 2020, vol. 14, no. 5, p. 1685–1702

Precipitation falling over the coastal regions of Antarctica often experiences low-level sublimation within the dry katabatic layer. The amount of water that reaches the ground surface is thereby considerably reduced. This paper investigates the synoptic conditions and the atmospheric transport pathways of moisture that lead to either virga – when precipitation is completely sublimated –...

Teleconnections and relationship between the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) in reconstructions and models over the past millennium

Dätwyler, Christoph ; Grosjean, Martin ; Steiger, Nathan J. ; Neukom, Raphael

In: Climate of the Past, 2020, vol. 16, no. 2, p. 743–756

The climate of the Southern Hemisphere (SH) is strongly influenced by variations in the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Southern Annular Mode (SAM). Because of the limited length of instrumental records in most parts of the SH, very little is known about the relationship between these two key modes of variability over time. Using proxy-based reconstructions and last-millennium...

Last phase of the Little Ice Age forced by volcanic eruptions

Brönnimann, Stefan ; Franke, Jörg ; Nussbaumer, Samuel U. ; Zumbühl, Heinz J. ; Steiner, Daniel ; Trachsel, Mathias ; Hegerl, Gabriele C. ; Schurer, Andrew ; Worni, Matthias ; Malik, Abdul ; Flückiger, Julian ; Raible, Christoph C.

During the first half of the nineteenth century, several large tropical volcanic eruptions occurred within less than three decades. The global climate effects of the 1815 Tambora eruption have been investigated, but those of an eruption in 1808 or 1809 whose source is unknown and the eruptions in the 1820s and 1830s have received less attention. Here we analyse the effect of the sequence of...
