Seeing Forests Through Clouds: Comment on "Recent global temperature surge amplified by record-low planetary albedo" (arXiv:2405.19986)
Anastassia M. Makarieva, Andrei V. Nefiodov, Antonio D. Nobre +10
Goessling et al. (1) link the record-breaking warming anomaly of 2023 to a global albedo decline due to reduced low-level cloud cover. What caused the reduction remains unclear. Go…
The role of ecosystem transpiration in creating alternate moisture regimes by influencing atmospheric moisture convergence
Anastassia M. Makarieva, Andrei V. Nefiodov, Antonio Donato Nobre +6
The terrestrial water cycle links the soil and atmosphere moisture reservoirs through four fluxes: precipitation, evaporation, runoff, and atmospheric moisture convergence (net imp…
How transpiration by forests and other vegetation determines alternate moisture regimes
Anastassia M. Makarieva, Andrei V. Nefiodov, Antonio D. Nobre +5
The terrestrial water cycle links the soil and atmosphere moisture reservoirs through four fluxes: precipitation, evaporation, runoff and atmospheric moisture convergence. Each of…
Revisiting the Mousetrap Experiment: Not Just About Nuclear Chain Reactions
Ugo Bardi, Ilaria Perissi
We present quantitative measurements on a classic experiment proposed for the first time in 1947 to illustrate the phenomenon of a chain reaction in nuclear fission. The experiment…
The Sixth Law of Stupidity: A Biophysical Interpretation of Carlo Cipolla's Stupidity Laws
Ilaria Perissi, Ugo Bardi
Carlo Cipolla's stupidity quadrant and his five laws of stupidity were proposed for the first time in 1976. Exposed in a humorous mood by the author, these concepts nevertheless de…
MEDEAS-World model calibration for the study of the energy transition
Gianluca Martelloni, Francesca Di Patti, Ilaria Perissi +2
MEDEAS (Modelling the Energy Development under Environmental And Socioeconomic constraint) World is a new global-aggregated energy-economy-environmental model, which runs from 1995…
