Orbital and suborbital temperature variability in the central Mediterranean across the Pliocene/Pleistocene transition. by Elena Zanola, Teresa Rodrigues, Sergio Bonomo, Patrizia Ferretti, Eliana Fornaciari, Agata Di Stefano, Alessandro Incarbona, Nereo Preto, Isabella Raffi, Luca Capraro

“…In addition, two suborbital periodicities in the ~5 kyr and ~8 kyr time domains provide a pervasive spectral signal that proves to be especially strong during the MIS (Marine Isotope Stage) 100 glacial, at the inception of the Northern Hemisphere Glaciation. This high frequency climatic instability, a prominent feature of the early Gelasian, might reflect episodic events of massive disruption of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation with increased production of cold, low-salinity water masses in the North Atlantic. …”

Sur quelques modifications hydromorphologiques dans le Val de Seine (Bassin parisien, France) depuis 1830 : quelle part accorder aux facteurs hydrologiques et anthropiques ? by Séverine Lescure, Gilles Arnaud-Fassetta, Stéphane Cordier

“…The present paper deals with the hydromorphological modifications which occurred along the whole Seine valley (a 779 km long river located in Northern France) during the past two centuries. The aim is to identify these changes and to assess the role of the main controlling factors, which are the hydrological variability (and its influence on fluvial dynamics through morphogenous floods) and the human forcing (river management). …”

Influence of Underlying Surface on Distribution of Hourly Heavy Rainfall over the Middle Yangtze River Valley by Yinglian Guo, Jisong Sun, Guirong Xu, Zhiming Zhou, Jizhu Wang

“…Secondly, the high-frequency HHR period of the sunset is caused by stronger local uplift and more unstable atmospheric stratification, but the enhanced local uplift is caused by the coupling of the terrain forcing of the underlying surface and the enhanced northern subgeostrophic flow, which causes the HHR to start closer to the mountain top at sunset than at sunrise.…”

Orographic Effect and the Opposite Trend of Rainfall in Central Vietnam by Thang Nguyen Van, Mau Nguyen Dang, Van Doan Quang, Tuan Bui Minh, Khiem Mai Van, Kham Duong Van, Thuy Tran Thanh, Duong Trinh Hoang, Tam Tran Thi, Quyen Nguyen Huu, Thai Luong Xuan, Hien Tran Duy

“…Also, we revealed that, while the first mode exhibits a significant correlation with El Niño-southern oscillation, the second depends highly on the contrast of sea surface temperature in the northern and southern Hemispheres. This different oceanic forcing and the local topological effect of Truong Son mountain range reasonably explain the opposite rainfall pattern in central Vietnam in early fall.…”
