Applications open for EGU Public Engagement Grants
The EGU is launching the second edition of its grant scheme to celebrate and recognise excellent science communication in the Earth, planetary and space sciences. The two applicants that are judged to have the most innovative and effective initiative, will be awarded a grant of €1000 each to help further develop the idea and put it into practice. [ Read more ]

Multi-annual modes in the 20th century temperature variability in reanalyses and CMIP5 models
This study compares the 20th century multi-annual climate variability modes in reanalysis data sets (ERA-20C and 20CR) and 12 climate model simulations using the randomised multi-channel singular spectrum analysis. The reanalysis data sets are remarkably similar on all timescales, except that the spectral power in ERA-20C is systematically slightly higher than in 20CR. None of the climate models closely reproduce all aspects of the reanalysis spectra, although many aspects are represented well. [ Read more ]
Quantifying the loss of processed natural gas within California’s South Coast Air Basin using long-term measurements of ethane and methane
This paper investigates the cause of the known underestimate of bottom-up inventories of methane in California’s South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB). We use total column measurements of methane, ethane, carbon monoxide, and other trace gases beginning in the late 1980s to calculate emissions and attribute sources of excess methane to the atmosphere. We conclude that more than half of the excess methane to the SoCAB atmosphere is attributable to processed natural gas. [ Read more ]
Refinement of the ice absorption spectrum in the visible using radiance profile measurements in Antarctic snow
The absorption of visible light in ice is very weak but its precise value is unknown. By measuring the profile of light intensity in snow, Warren and Brand (2006) deduced that light is attenuated by a factor 2 per kilometer in pure ice at a wavelength of 400 nm. We replicated their experiment on a large number of samples and found that ice absorption is at least 10 times stronger. The paper explores various potential physical and statistical biases that could impact the experiment. [ Read more ]

EGU Facts
The non-profit European Geosciences Union (EGU) is Europe's premier union of geoscientists. It has a General Assembly that attracts over 11,800 scientists each year, a diverse portfolio of open access journals, a number of thematic meetings, and outreach and education activities. It also honours scientists with a number of awards and medals.
