Here, we describe the development and verification of a probabilistic lightning-strike algorithm running on a uniform 20 km grid over the continental USA and Alaska. This is the first and only high-resolution lightning forecasting model for North America derived from 29-year-long data...
Orbital timescale variability is time-transgressive from west to east, while the regional expression of the LIA/MWP is seen across the continent. High-latitude reconstructions show slightly higher variability compared to lower mid-latitude reconstructions. Recent observed regional warming is unprecedented ...
Rural Alaska suffers from extremely high prices for food and consumer goods compared to the rest of the country, due to the relatively limited transportation infrastructure.[101] Due to the northern climate and short growing season, relatively little farming occurs in Alaska. Most farms are in eit...
Pacific cod diet composition was significantly different across heatwave classes for both months (Fig.2). In July, mysids were the most common prey species during MHWs, representing 29.1% of the total diet, compared to 4.7% before MHWs and 12.2% between MHWs (MRPP;A = 0.072;P =...
