All welcome! /Christian Tue, *5 May 2015, 13:00-14:00*, Brögger room, GEO house, floor S5 Presenter:*Stefano Manzoni (INK)* Title: *Eco-hydrological optimality of plant gas exchange* Abstract: The carbon (C) uptake of terrestrial ecosystems is tightly linked to water losses by transpiration, due to the exchange of both water and CO2 through leaf stomata. Water can thus be interpreted as a resource that is consumed to acquire C needed for plant growth. This inherent coupling requires plants to manage available water in such a way as to avoid the occurrence of water stress, while preserving C uptake. Accordingly, it has been hypothesized that plants optimally regulate transpiration to maximize photosynthesis. This optimization problem can be addressed at different time scales -- at the sub-daily scale to assess the role of atmospheric conditions; at the dry down scale to predict the effect of soil moisture; at evolutionary time scales to investigate the effects of hydro-climatic variability on plant fitness. Here we present a hierarchy of optimization models that span sub-daily to evolutionary time scales to yield analytical expressions linking photosynthesis, transpiration, and environmental and climatic drivers. Based on the model results, we define broad plant water use strategies and characterize their success in a changing environment. In some cases, different strategies are found to yield similar long-term plant fitness levels, thus explaining why species with widely variable eco-physiological traits can coexist under the same climatic conditions. -- Christian Beer ++++NEW EMAIL ADDRESS++++ Stockholm University Department of Environmental Science and Analytical Chemistry (ACES) Bolin Centre for Climate Research Svante Arrhenius väg 8 106 91 Stockholm Sweden Phone: 004686747387 email: christian.beer at aces.su.se webpage: www.christianbeer.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Abstract Observations and greenhouse-gas-emissions-forced climate change projections have indicated a wetting trend in northern high latitudes and Arctic, evidenced by increasing Eurasian Arctic river discharges. The increase in river discharge has accelerated in the latest decade, and an unprecedented, record-high discharge occurred in 2007 along with an extreme Arctic summer sea-ice-cover loss. Studies have ascribed this increasing discharge to various factors attributable to local global-warming effects, including intensifying precipitation minus evaporation, thawing permafrost, increasing greenness, and reduced plant transpiration. However, no agreement has been reached and causal physical processes remain unclear. In this study, we conducted mass-corrections of reanalysis data set and quantified atmospheric moisture transport. The results show that enhancement of poleward atmospheric moisture transport (AMT) decisively contributes to increased Eurasian Arctic river discharges. Net AMT into the Eurasian Arctic river basins captures 98% of the gauged climatological river discharges. The trend of 2.6% net AMT increase per decade accounts well for the 1.8% per decade increase in gauged discharges, and also suggests an increase in underlying soil moisture. The radical shift of the atmospheric circulation pattern, which we identified in an earlier study, induced an unusually large AMT and warm surface in 2006-07 over Eurasia, resulting in the record high river discharge. The result from this study has significant implications for better understanding Arctic climate system changes and its interplay with global climate system. The seminar presents new findings into flow regimes over forests. Mean wind, turbulence and waves are discussed and both measurements as well as analytical models are presented. The findings are part of a PhD thesis which was defended in February 2015.

I will try to show that a new theory of (i) can lead to a solution of (ii). Over the past decade or so our understanding of the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) of the ocean has gone through something of a transformation. Rather than being a purely buoyancy-driven circulation, we now believe it to be, at least in part, driven by winds, with those over the Southern Ocean playing a particular role. I'll discuss these developments and present a semi-analytic theory – that is, a testable conceptual model – of the oceanic MOC. If we then add a carbon cycle to this model, and change the boundary conditions to be appropriate for glacial conditions, we find a natural explanation for the draw down of carbon dioxide during ice ages. (Joint work with Max Nikurashin and Andy Watson.) About Professor Geoff Vallis Geoff is one of the world's foremost experts on atmosphere and ocean fluid dynamics. His work varies between basic research in geophysical fluid dynamics and more applied modeling of various aspects of the oceans, atmospheres, or climate. A common feature of his work is trying to use basic theory in conjunction with more complete numerical models to come to a more well-rounded understanding of phenomena than can be achieved with a single approach.

The result from this study has significant implications for better understanding Arctic climate system changes and its interplay with global climate system. The seminar presents new findings into flow regimes over forests. Mean wind, turbulence and waves are discussed and both measurements as well as analytical models are presented. The findings are part of a PhD thesis which was defended in February 2015.

It is also broadly recognized that addressing the problem requires putting a price on the emission of carbon dioxide, and perhaps also on emission of other greenhouse gases. The price might be implemented as a tax on emissions, or in the form of tradable emission permits, or (indirectly) in the form of direct regulation of emissions (the cost of which often needs to be justified in terms of the cost of damages avoided). A central challenge of figuring the Social Cost of Carbon is that the price put on emissions is almost invariably a monetary cost, whereas the “cost” of damages caused by emissions often cannot be measured adequately in terms of the monetary value of market activities. The process of figuring a Social Cost of Carbon requires a sound understanding of the nature of the environmental changes brought about by greenhouse gas emissions, and of their impacts. It also requires development of methodologies for translating knowledge of such impact into a price to be charged for emissions. This symposium brings together a number of world leaders doing research on key areas of this problem, approaching it from the standpoint of the social, biological and physical sciences.

The DOC is decomposed in streams, rivers and lakes commonly making them net sources of CO2 to the atmosphere with consequences for the global carbon cycle and climate. To be able to predict future trajectories of aquatic DOC it is necessary to resolve the sensitivity to temperature of DOC production on relevant spatial and temporal scales. Here we have used a novel method to quantify catchment-scale DOC production rates from stream water chemistry (doing biogeochemistry backwards) and suggest that the DOC production is a watershed-scale metabolic process. We have therefore used the Metabolic Theory of Ecology to estimate the temperature sensitivity, quantified as activation energy, of DOC production. We have tested the theory in almost 40 boreal and temperate watersheds in Europe and North America and estimated the average activation energy of DOC production (0.73 eV). The results indicate that watershed-scale DOC production is more sensitive to temperature than either photosynthesis or respiration. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The tropical energy cycles are central to the climate, its variability and its future evolution as reflected in the WCRP Grand Challenges being led by both the GEWEX program and the WGCM. The dynamical nature of the tropical water cycle and the control on the energy balance on both the tropical atmospheric dynamics and water cycle is one of the main incentives of the conference. *Abstracts are now welcome for considerations. **Dead line for submission is June 15, 2015. *Sessions covering the various aspects of this complex coupled problem are anticipated, including topics on the large scale Hadley/Walker circulation, the ITCZ, ENSO, monsoons, MJO, tropical convection, extreme rain events and droughts, and water and energy budget studies associated with these phenomena. The conference will bring together theoretical, observing (in-situ and from satellites) and modeling perspectives as well as address the evolution of the tropical phenomena under climate change. A dedicated session is anticipated on the outcome of the TRMM mission's contribution to understanding the water and energy cycle in the tropics and precipitation processes. More generally the sessions will be organized along 3 overarching topics covering the above mentioned broad themes to discuss the questions below: *Overarching Topic 1: Global and Tropical scales :What are the global scale energetic controls that influence the tropical regions?* ***Overarching Topic 2: The Changing Water & Energy cycle :How the water and energy cycles respond to and feedback to climate change ?***** ***Overarching Topic 3: Futures directions : The WCRP challenges: update, refinements and new programmatic initiatives.*** *More information and the abstract submission form can be found at* http://www.water-energy-tropics2015.com/ We are looking forward to seeing you in Paris, Rémy Roca on behalf of the Scientific Program Committee Graeme Stephens, JPL, GEWEX, USA ; Jorg Schulz , EUMETSAT, Germany; Scott Braun - NASA, USA;Yukari Takayabu - Univ of Tokyo , Japan; Eric Wood - Univ of Princeton, USA; Steve Sherwood - Univ of South Wales, Australia; Paul O'Gorman - MIT, USA; Norman Loeb - NASA, USA; J.

Abstract For several decades, jets and fronts have been known from observations to be significant sources of internal gravity waves in the atmosphere. Motivations to investigate these waves have included their impact on tropospheric convection, their contribution to local mixing and turbulence in the upper-troposphere, their vertical propagation into the middle atmosphere and the forcing of its global circulation. While many different studies have consistently highlighted jet exit regions as a favored locus for intense gravity waves, the mechanisms responsible for their emission had long remained elusive: one reason is the complexity of the environment in which the waves appear, another is that the waves constitute small deviations from the balanced dynamics of the flow generating them, i.e. they arise beyond our fundamental, balanced understanding of jets and fronts. Over the past two decades, the pressing need for improving parameterizations of non-orographic gravity waves in climate models that include a stratosphere has stimulated renewed investigations. This talk reviews the spontaneous balance adjustment (SBA) hypothesis that is developed over a series of studies over the past decade through examining gravity waves initiation from idealized simulations of baroclinic life cycles and vortex-jet dipoles with both high-resolution complex non-hydrostatic mesoscale models and/or linear forcing or ray tracing models. More specifically, it is hypothesized that within the developing baroclinic jet-front system, the large-scale background flow can continuously produce flow imbalance while the gravity waves are continuously generated from flow imbalance through spontaneous balance adjustment. A framework to describe this emission mechanism was proposed by Plougonven and Zhang through scale analysis and analytical derivation of a wave equation linearized on the balanced background flow that is forced by synoptic-scale flow imbalance. This was implemented and expanded to explain gravity waves emitted in dipoles, and has recently been used to explain at least some of the jet-exit region gravity waves found in baroclinic life cycles. Ongoing study is also extend this framework to examine the gravity waves in moist baroclinic life cycles. Also discussed will be the impacts of gravity waves on weather, as well as the potential scale selection mechanisms for these mesoscale waves.

Figshare for institutions is a management system for research data (and other research products). http://figshare.com/services/institutions Stockholm University is now testing this system and would like to have input from users. You can find more information about Figshare for institutions in this recorded Webinar (½ hour): http://www.digital-science.com/blog/events/figshare-webinar-the-move-towards-institutional-portals-for-research-object-management/ (NOTE, you have to click in the center of the image to get to the log in page) /Håkan WORKSHOP INVITATION MAY 21ST AND 22ND Figshare will be holding workshops on repositoring data, making it accessible and demonstrate what researchers can benefit from using Figshare for institutions. The workshops will take place at the University Library on May 21st and 22nd in Plantskolan, situated in the middle of the library. You can choose which one of the following workshops you wish to attend (no registration necessary, just drop by) May 21st 10 am (mainly for administrators) May 21st 1.30 pm (for researchers) May 22nd 10 am (for researchers) May 22nd 1.30 pm (for researchers) Information regarding Figshare: Does your research funder request a data management plan for your research data? Different researchers have different needs for storing research data and the need for data management plans is increasing (e.g. Proposal for National Guidelines for Open Access to Scientific Information and Guidelines on Data Management in Horizon 2020). The Stockholm University Library is currently examining how we can assist researchers at SU in regards to future data storage issues. Therefore, we have decided on a trial period of six months for the services of Figshare. Figshare is a web based data storage service which enables researchers to publish data and other types of research output in a citable, searchable and shareable manner. All digital files that are uploaded will be given their own DOI-number and will thus be citable and shareable. In that manner, anyone can save different types of research data under an open access license (http://creativecommons.org/). Stockholm University Library want to know if Stockholm University’s researchers find Figshare useful and user friendly. When the trial period is over we will therefore evaluate how many researchers have created accounts and actually used the services Figshare offer.

Abstract In recent years several studies have identified an area of intense anticycloninc activity about 500 km straight west of the Lofoten Escarpment, now recognized as the coherent Lofoten Basin Eddy (LBE), which by all accounts is permanent despite its small size. Its core, a ~1000 m deep mixed layer in solid body rotation with relative vorticity close to its theoretical limit -f, is surrounded by a highly baroclinic density field with >80 km diameter. The LBE is maintained by a supply of anticyclonic eddies that break away from the Norwegian Atlantic Current at the Lofoten Escarpment. Rather than merge with the LBE, they appear to be sheared apart with some water wrapping around the LBE near the surface and the remainder dispersed out into the larger Lofoten Basin. The deep reservoir of warm water in the LBE loses a considerable amount of heat each winter, but the processes by which this loss is replenished are not known. The first step appears to be the wrap-around process leading to a 'fattening' of the LBE, but how this now wider eddy relaxes back towards an equilibrium state remains unclear. Somehow the deep penetrative convection driven by wintertime heat losses must also stir the heat from the sides into the rapidly spinning core. The heat losses of the LBE and the warm water dispersed by it make the Lofoten Basin the key region in the Nordic Seas in preparing North Atlantic water for its eventual return to the deep global ocean.

Economics) Symposium Presentation: It is almost universally agreed that the climate change resulting from human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases poses a serious (and perhaps even existential) threat to current and future generations. It is also broadly recognized that addressing the problem requires putting a price on the emission of carbon dioxide, and perhaps also on emission of other greenhouse gases. The price might be implemented as a tax on emissions, or in the form of tradable emission permits, or (indirectly) in the form of direct regulation of emissions (the cost of which often needs to be justified in terms of the cost of damages avoided). A central challenge of figuring the Social Cost of Carbon is that the price put on emissions is almost invariably a monetary cost, whereas the “cost” of damages caused by emissions often cannot be measured adequately in terms of the monetary value of market activities. The process of figuring a Social Cost of Carbon requires a sound understanding of the nature of the environmental changes brought about by greenhouse gas emissions, and of their impacts. It also requires development of methodologies for translating knowledge of such impact into a price to be charged for emissions. This symposium brings together a number of world leaders doing research on key areas of this problem, approaching it from the standpoint of the social, biological and physical sciences.
