The variability and change occurring in the outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) spectrum are investigated by using simulations performed with a Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory coupled atmosphere�ocean�land general circulation model. First, the variability in unforced climate (natural...
- Spatial Patterns of Glaciers in Response to Spatial Patterns in Regional Climate. Huybers, Kathleen; Roe, Gerard H. // Journal of Climate;Sep2009, Vol. 22 Issue 17, p4606
Glaciers are direct recorders of climate history and have come to be regarded as emblematic of climate change. They respond to variations in both accumulation and ablation, which can have separate atmospheric controls, leading to some ambiguity in interpreting the causes of glacier changes. Both...

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trees growing on shingle fields offer a unique possibility to reconstruct precipitation and study climate variability in the fairly humid eastern part of central Sweden. Tree-ring characteristics were compared with monthly (1890�2001) and daily (1961�2001)...
