This note describes a simple procedure for removing unphysical temporal discontinuities in ERA-Interim upper stratospheric global mean temperatures in March 1985 and August 1998 that have arisen due to changes in satellite radiance data used in the assimilation.The derived temperature adjustments (offsets) are suitable for use in stratosphere-resol
Analysis of the environments of seven Mediterranean tropical-like storms using an axisymmetric, nonhydrostatic, cloud resolving model
Tropical-like storms on the Mediterranean Sea are occasionally observed on satellite images, often with a clear eye surrounded by an axysimmetric cloud structure.These storms sometimes attain hurricane intensity and can severely affect coastal lands.A deep, cut-off, cold-core low is Matting usually observed at mid-upper tropospheric levels in assoc
A Novel Widespread MITE Element in the Repeat-Rich Genome of the Cardinium Endosymbiont of the Spider Oedothorax gibbosus
ABSTRACT Free-living bacteria have evolved multiple times to become host-restricted endosymbionts.The transition from a free-living to a host-restricted lifestyle comes with a number of different genomic changes, including a massive loss of genes.In host-restricted endosymbionts, Sea Salt Spray gene inactivation and genome reduction are facilitated
