Climate-carbon cycle feedback analysis: Results from the C
- P. Friedlingstein, P. Cox, N. Zeng
- Environmental Science
- 15 July 2006
Eleven coupled climate–carbon cycle models used a common protocol to study the coupling between climate change and the carbon cycle. The models were forced by historical emissions and the…

- Corinne Le Quéré, R. Moriarty, N. Zeng
- Environmental Science
- 7 December 2015
Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere is important to better understand the global carbon…
The Hydrological Cycle in the Mediterranean Region and Implications for the Water Budget of the Mediterranean Sea
- A. Mariotti, M. Struglia, N. Zeng, K. Lau
- Environmental Science

Abstract The hydrological cycle in the Mediterranean region is analyzed focusing on climatology and interannual to interdecadal variability, in particular long-term changes related to the…
A Quasi-Equilibrium Tropical Circulation Model—Formulation *
A class of model for simulation and theory of the tropical atmospheric component of climate variations is introduced. These models are referred to as quasi-equilibrium tropical circulation models, or…

Abstract. Accurate assessments of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere is important to better understand the…
An Atlantic influence on Amazon rainfall
- Jinho Yoon, N. Zeng
- Environmental Science
- 1 February 2010
Rainfall variability over the Amazon basin has often been linked to variations in Pacific sea surface temperature (SST), and in particular, to the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO). However, only a…

Global environmental change is rapidly altering the dynamics of terrestrial vegetation, with consequences for the functioning of the Earth system and provision of ecosystem services(1,2). Yet how…
Causes and impacts of the 2005 Amazon drought
- N. Zeng, Jinho Yoon, J. Neelin
- Environmental Science
- 2008
A rare drought in the Amazon culminated in 2005, leading to near record-low streamflows, small Amazon river plume, and greatly enhanced fire frequency. This episode was caused by the combination of…
Euro‐Mediterranean rainfall and ENSO—a seasonally varying relationship
- A. Mariotti, N. Zeng, K. Lau
- Environmental Science
- 1 June 2002
Using observational datasets and atmospheric reanalyses, we show that interannual variability of rainfall in the Euro‐Mediterranean sector is significantly influenced by ENSO in a way that is…
