• Added value of a regional coupled model: the case study for marine heatwaves in the Caribbean 

      Pontoppidan, Marie; De Falco, Chiara; Mooney, Priscilla A.; Nummelin, Aleksi Henrynpoika; Tjiputra, Jerry (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      There is an urgent need to improve capacity to predict marine heatwaves given their substantial negative impacts on marine ecosystems. Here we present the added value of a regional climate simulation, performed with the ...
    • Afforestation affects rain-on-snow climatology over Norway 

      Mooney, Priscilla A.; Lee, Hanna (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Rain-on-snow (ROS) events are most commonly found in sub-polar and alpine climates where they pose a considerable threat to society and nature. While the relationship between ROS frequency and large-scale climate features ...
    • Afforestation impact on soil temperature in regional climate model simulations over Europe 

      Sofiadis, Giannis; Katragkou, Eleni; Davin, Edouard L.; Rechid, Diana; de Noblet-Ducoudré, Nathalie; Breil, Marcus; Cardoso, Rita M.; Hoffmann, Peter; Jach, Lisa; Meier, Ronny; Mooney, Priscilla A.; Soares, Pedro M.M.; Strada, Susanna; Tölle, Merja H.; Warrach-Sagi, Kirsten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      In the context of the first phase of the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment in the European domain (EURO-CORDEX) flagship plot study on Land Use and Climate Across Scales (LUCAS), we investigate the ...
    • Future changes in rain-on-snow events over Norway 

      Mooney, Priscilla A.; Li, Lu (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Rain-on-snow (ROS) events occur primarily in cold climates such as high latitudes and high elevations where they pose a considerable threat to nature and society. The frequency and intensity of ROS events are expected to ...
    • The influence of recent and future climate change on spring Arctic cyclones 

      Parker, Chelsea L.; Mooney, Priscilla A.; Webster, Melinda A.; Boisvert, Linette N. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      In recent decades, the Arctic has experienced rapid atmospheric warming and sea ice loss, with an ice-free Arctic projected by the end of this century. Cyclones are synoptic weather events that transport heat and moisture ...
    • Influences of Lake Malawi on the spatial and diurnal variability on local precipitation 

      Koseki, Shunya; Mooney, Priscilla A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      We investigate how the intensity and spatial distribution of precipitation vary around Lake Malawi on a diurnal timescale, which can be valuable information for water resource management in tropical south-eastern African ...
    • Land–atmosphere interactions in sub-polar and alpine climates in the CORDEX Flagship Pilot Study Land Use and Climate Across Scales (LUCAS) models – Part 2: The role of changing vegetation 

      Mooney, Priscilla A.; Rechid, Diana; Davin, Edouard L.; Katragkou, Eleni; de Noblet-Ducoudré, Nathalie; Breil, Marcus; Cardosa, Rita M.; Daloz, Anne Sophie; Hoffmann, Peter; Lima, Daniela; Meier, R.; Soares, Pedro M.M.; Sofiadis, Giannis; Strada, Susanna; Strandberg, Gustav; Toelle, Merja; Lund, Marianne Tronstad (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Land cover in sub-polar and alpine regions of northern and eastern Europe have already begun changing due to natural and anthropogenic changes such as afforestation. This will impact the regional climate and hydrology upon ...
    • Modelling a tropical-like cyclone in the Mediterranean Sea under present and warmer climate 

      Koseki, Shunya; Mooney, Priscilla A.; Cabos, William; Angel Gaertner, Miguel; de la Vara, Alba; Gonzalez-Aleman, Juan Jesus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      This study focuses on a single Mediterranean hurricane (hereafter medicane), to investigate its response to global warming during the middle of the 21st century and assesses the effects of a warmer ocean and a warmer ...
    • Physical processes driving intensification of future precipitation in the mid- to high latitudes 

      Poujol, Basile; Mooney, Priscilla A.; Sobolowski, Stefan Pieter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Precipitation is changing as the climate warms, and downpours can become more intense due to the increased water holding capacity of the atmosphere. However, the exact nature of the precipitation response and its characteristics ...
