Wind energy is a virtually carbon-free and pollution-free electricity source, with global wind
resources greatly exceeding electricity demand. Accordingly, the installed capacity of wind …

This review examines the role of the atmospheric evaporative demand (AED) in drought.
AED is a complex concept and here we discuss possible AED definitions, the subsequent …

Wind power, a rapidly growing alternative energy source, has been threatened by
reductions in global average surface wind speed, which have been occurring over land …

A suite of climate data sets and multiple representations of atmospheric moisture demand
are used to calculate many estimates of the self‐calibrated Palmer Drought Severity Index, a …

In 2011, Lake Erie experienced the largest harmful algal bloom in its recorded history, with a
peak intensity over three times greater than any previously observed bloom. Here we show …

The Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) is a Diagnostic MIP in
CMIP6. CORDEX builds on a foundation of previous downscaling intercomparison projects …

Relieving phosphorus loading is a key management tool for controlling Lake Erie
eutrophication. During the 1960s and 1970s, increased phosphorus inputs degraded water …

Economic productivity depends on reliable access to electricity, but the extreme shortage
events of variable wind-solar systems may be strongly affected by climate change. Here …

In a globally warming climate, observed rates of atmospheric evaporative demand have
declined over recent decades. Several recent studies have shown that declining rates of …

This document has two main sections: one on historical conditions and trends, and the other
on future conditions as simulated by climate models. The historical section concentrates on …
