Urbanised territories as a specific component of the global carbon cycle
Germany
Germany
Although urbanised territories (UT) produce most part of the anthropogenic emissions, we will only consider the following impacts on the Global Carbon Cycle (GCC): a) the additional carbon emissions that result from the conversion of natural, surrounding a city land, caused by urbanisation and b) the change of carbon flows by ''urbanised'' ecosyste...

A large part of the interannual variability of the European winter air temperature is caused by anomalies of the atmospheric circulation and the associated advection of air masses. However, part of the temperature variability cannot be linearly explained by such processes. Here, a long control simulation with a coupled atmosphere-ocean climate mode...
Hence, in the framework of this study the trace gas exchange of N_2O, CH_4 and CO_2 between tropical forest ecosystems and the atmosphere was recorded in high temporal resolution. This study shows for the first time world-wide measurements of the seasonality of N_2O-emissions and CH_4-uptake of a tropical lowland rainforest over an entire year in a...

The volume displays the compiled meteorological data which were measured by the Deutscher Wetterdienst (German weather services) during the year 2001. Data are given of all weather measuring stations: temperature, air pressure, wind, sunshine, rain, snow cover, vapor pressure. Annual, monthly and daily means are displayed numerically and in maps. P...

The climatology and internal variability in a 1000-year control simulation of the coupled atmosphere-ocean global climate model ECHO-G are analyzed and compared with observations and other coupled climate model simulations. ECHO-G requires annual mean flux corrections for heat and freshwater in order to simulate no climate drift for 1000 years, but...
