Here we choose 1880-1920 as baseline, i.e., as the zero-point for temperature anomalies, because it is the earliest period with substantial global coverage of instrumental measurements and because it also ...

Simple indices of global climate variability and change: Part I

They therefore represent the intrinsic variability of the modelled coupled ocean–atmosphere system. The experiments from which we have data available are ...

Abstract: - Agriculture in Portugal contributes for less than 10% of total greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions, where 34% comes from methane (CH4) in animal husbandry, 64% comes from nitrogen (N) oxides (NOx and N2O) by the intensive use of mineral fertilizers, the incomplete nitrification and denitrifi ...
