Theodore Weber; Austin Corotan; Brian Hutchinson; Ben Kravitz; Robert Link DOI: https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-20-2303-2020 Abstract: We investigate techniques for using deep neural networks to produce surrogate models for short-term climate forecasts. A convolutional neural network is trained on 97 years of monthly precipitation output from the 1pctCO2 run (the CO2 concentration increases by 1 %…

Linying Wang, Maoyi Huang, Dan Li DOI: https://doi.org/10.1029/2020GL087853 Abstract: By reflecting more sunlight, white (cool) roofs experience lower surface temperatures and produce less heating of the surrounding air. The effectiveness of cool roofs, quantified by the surface temperature difference between cool and regular roofs (ΔTs), is known to vary spatially….
Neal T. Graham, Mohamad I. Hejazi, Son H. Kim, Evan G. R. Davies, James A. Edmonds & Fernando Miralles-Wilhelm DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-17400-4 Abstract: Water stressed regions rely heavily on the import of water-intensive goods to offset insufficient food production driven by socioeconomic and environmental factors. The water embedded in these traded…
