The new map shows an increase in total VN length by a factor of 2.3. A global map of dissection density, D, derived from the new VN map, shows that the most highly dissected region forms a belt located between the equator and mid-southern latitudes. The most prominent regions of high ...
Mapping the entire globe was an ambitious task for people without satellites. In the case of latitude, the choice was easy. Sailors and scientists set the zero latitude plane of the earth through its circumference at the equator and then divided the world from the equator to thenorthandsouthpol...
Regional correlation results over the seven forested biomes were distinguishable (Fig.3), as reflected by geographic variation from the poles to the equator. Specifically, for the three taxonomic groups, biomes such as Taiga (also called boreal forests, BF), temperate conifer forests (TCF), and ...
Certain crust tiles which are too large (about 200 km across at the equator) to be adequately modeled as point sources are instead modeled as collections of smaller tiles using numerical integration, which recursively subdivides large tiles into progressively smaller sub-tiles until the ...
“Synthetic analyses”, we combine this expression with synthetic spherical cap spectra and demonstrate the ability to provide magnetic thickness and magnetization estimates through a misfit analysis. In section “Global models of the Earth’s mean magnetic thickness and magnetization”, we calculate the...
The month of September 2020 became an historic moment when Nature registered high on the political agenda of global leaders. “We will protect our planet” became a call of governments in their United Nations (UN) 75th Anniversary Declaration. 124 member
Furthermore, we investigated whether considering vegetation phenology would noticeably impact our results. We focused on catchments outside the equator and conducted the same analysis but only for vegetation growing seasons (April to October for the Northern Hemisphere and October to April for the Sout...
The 0.01-degree resolution (equivalent to about 1.1 km at the equator) is well suited for capturing regional variation in concentrations, but not granular local variations. Fig. 6: PM2.5 concentrations in Southeast Asia. Estimates represent annual average concentrations in 2018, constructed based...
It estimates, for 1/8° (roughly 14 km at the Equator) grid cells, the decadal change in the fraction of urban land within each grid, using temporally evolving spatial drivers. SELECT accounts for both subnational regional- and local-scale heterogeneity in the urbanization process through ...
The modelled response to the decreasing solar UV begins in the upper stratosphere and lower mesosphere, consistent with ERA-40+ reanalysis data. This signal is largest in the tropics (Frame and Gray 2010; Lockwood et al. 2010b) and so gives a relative decrease in the pole-to-equator ...
