ESSIC News

The ESSIC News effort is produced and maintained by the ESSIC Office of Information Technology and Communication (OITC). This material is based upon research conducted by the Earth Systems Science Interdisciplinary Center and its university and federal partners. Although the research is collaborative, the opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed may not be reflective of all.

Earth’s rainy days are changing and plant life is responding. This visualization shows average precipitation for the entire globe based on more than 20 years of data from 2000 to 2023. Cooler colors indicate areas that receive less rain. Warm colors receive more rain. NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio

Crops, Forests Responding to Changing Rainfall Patterns

Figure 1. Time series of global monthly anomalies of 2-meter air temperature (top) and TPW (bottom) derived from ERA5 analyses. The straight lines are the linear trends derived from the monthly anomalies. Anomalies and trends are shown for global means based on 1:30 am/1:30 pm local time data only (red) and all hourly data (black). The anomalies and trends for both data sets are so similar that the black curves are almost obscured by the red curves. Computed annual trend values for both 24-hour and 1:30 am/pm data are shown in blue and red, respectively.

Trends in Temperature, Water Vapor and Surface Pressure: Signals of Climate Change and Atmospheric CO2 Increases

Lars Peter Riishojgaard Joins UMD to Direct the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center

Scientists analyze the impact of ozone depleting substances on the ozone layer using data acquired from a variety of platforms, including high altitude balloons and aircraft that can obtain air samples in the stratosphere. Data from these platforms help guide the analysis in the Lickley et al. paper. The images show the launch of a NASA high altitude balloon payload and the landing of the NASA ER-2 aircraft in Fairbanks, Alaska. Photo credits: Ross Salawitch
