Changes in the Seasonal Cycle of Temperature and Atmospheric Circulation
Stine, Alexander Robin; Huybers, Peter John (American Meteorological Society, 2012)The vast majority of variability in the instrumental surface temperature record is at annual frequencies. Systematic changes in the yearly Fourier component of surface temperature have been observed since the midtwentieth ... -
Implications of Liebig’s Law of the Minimum for Tree-Ring Reconstructions of Climate
Stine, Alexander; Huybers, Peter (IOP Publishing, 2017-11-01)A basic principle of ecology, known as Liebig's Law of the Minimum, is that plant growth reflects the strongest limiting environmental factor. This principle implies that a limiting environmental factor can be inferred ... -
Medieval Irish Chronicles Reveal Persistent Volcanic Forcing of Severe Winter Cold Events, 431–1649 CE
Ludlow, Francis Michael; Stine, Alexander Robin; Leahy, Paul; Murphy, Enda; Mayewski, Paul A.; Taylor, David; Killen, James; Baillie, Michael G. L.; Hennessy, Mark; Kiely, Gerard (IOP Publishing, 2013)Explosive volcanism resulting in stratospheric injection of sulfate aerosol is a major driver of regional to global climatic variability on interannual and longer timescales. However, much of our knowledge of the climatic ... -
The Spatial Structure of the Annual Cycle in Surface Temperature: Amplitude, Phase, and Lagrangian History
McKinnon, Karen Aline; Stine, Alexander Robin; Huybers, Peter John (American Meteorological Society, 2013)The climatological annual cycle in surface air temperature, defined by its amplitude and phase lag with respect to solar insolation, is one of the most familiar aspects of the climate system. Here, the authors identify ... -
Temperature reconstructions from tree-ring densities overestimate volcanic cooling
Tingley, Martin; Stine, Alexander Robin; Huybers, Peter John (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)The fidelity of inferences on volcanic cooling from tree-ring density records has recently come into question, with competing claims that temperature reconstructions based on tree-ring records underestimate cooling due to ...
