Climate-influenced nutrient flows and threats to the biodiversity of the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System (BZ-SDG) By Robert Griffin, Emil Cherrington, Alex Tewfik,... -
Climate Gallery
This gallery provides climate data, information, products, services and other resource contributions from the AmeriGEO and global communities. -
Upper-Air Wind Speed and Direction
Wind is one of the fundamental state variables for understanding and predicting the behaviour of the atmosphere. It is basic to the working of the climate system through... -
Upper-Air Water Vapour
Water vapour is the predominant gaseous source of infrared opacity in the atmosphere, accounting for about 60% of the natural greenhouse effect for clear skies. Water vapour... -
Above-Ground Biomass (Land - Biosphere)
Vegetation biomass is a crucial ecological variable for understanding the evolution and potential future changes of the climate system. Photosynthesis withdraws CO2 from the... -
Earth Radiation Budget
The Earth Radiation Budget (at the top of the atmosphere) describes the overall balance between the incoming energy from the sun and the outgoing thermal (longwave) and... -
Surface Wind Speed and Direction
Surface pressure is a fundamental meteorological variable controlling weather systems and providing information on the intensity of weather systems, including tropical cyclones. -
Surface Radiation Budget
The Surface Radiation Budget is a fundamental component of the surface energy budget that is crucial to nearly all aspects of climate, and needs to be monitored systematically. -
Aerosols (Atmosphere - Atmospheric Composition)
Atmospheric aerosols are minor constituents of the atmosphere by mass, but a critical component in terms of impacts on the climate and especially climate changes. Aerosols... -
Evaporation from Land
Terrestrial evaporation is an important process in the global water cycle. It acts like an air conditioner for the surface, as it absorbs radiation (latent heat) that otherwise... -
Ice Sheets and Ice Shelves
The understanding of the timescale of ice sheet response to climate change has changed dramatically over the last decade. Rapid changes in ice-sheet mass have surely contributed... -
Ocean Surface Heat Flux
Surface heat flux is exchange of heat, per unit area, crossing the surface between the ocean and the atmosphere. It consists of the turbulent and the radiative components. These... -
Precursors for Aerosols and Ozone
Precursor species lead to the production of aerosols and ozone. Precursors include nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and formaldehyde (HCHO).... -
Surface Water Vapour
The humidity of air near the surface of the Earth affects the comfort and health of humans, livestock and wildlife, the swarming behaviour of insects and the occurrence of plant... -
Carbon Dioxide, Methane & Other Greenhouse Gases (Atmosphere - Atmospheric Co...
The atmospheric abundance of carbon dioxide (CO2), the dominant human-produced greenhouse gas, has increased by about 50% since pre-industrial times due to the proliferation of... -
