Vegetation Impact on Atmospheric Moisture Transport under Increasing Land-Ocean Temperature Contrasts
Anastassia M. Makarieva, Andrei V. Nefiodov, Antonio Donato Nobre +5
Destabilization of the water cycle threatens human lives and livelihoods. Meanwhile our understanding of whether and how changes in vegetation cover could trigger abrupt transition…
Hurricane's maximum potential intensity and surface heat fluxes
Anastassia M. Makarieva, Victor G. Gorshkov, Andrei V. Nefiodov +5
Emanuel's concept of Maximum Potential Intensity (E-PI) relates the maximum velocity of tropical storms, assumed to be in gradient wind balance, to environmental para…
Comments on "Is condensation-induced atmospheric dynamics a new theory of the origin of the winds?" by Jaramillo et al. (2018)
Anastassia M. Makarieva, Victor G. Gorshkov, Antonio Donato Nobre +4
Our comments on paper "Is Condensation-Induced Atmospheric Dynamics a New Theory of the Origin of the Winds?" by A. Jaramillo, O. J. Mesa, and D. J. Raymond published in J. Atmos.…
The water budget of a hurricane as dependent on its movement
Anastassia M. Makarieva, Victor G. Gorshkov, Andrei V. Nefiodov +4
Despite the dangers associated with tropical cyclones and their rainfall, the origins of storm moisture remains unclear. Existing studies have focused on the region 40-400 km from…
Quantifying the global atmospheric power budget
Anastassia M. Makarieva, Victor G. Gorshkov, Andrei V. Nefiodov +3
The power of atmospheric circulation is a key measure of the Earth's climate system. The mismatch between predictions and observations under a warming climate calls for a reassessm…
Reassessing thermodynamic and dynamic constraints on global wind power
A. M. Makarieva, V. G. Gorshkov, A. V. Nefiodov +3
Starting from basic physical principles, we present a novel derivation linking the global wind power to measurable atmospheric parameters. The resulting expression distinguishes th…
