, as household food security is tightly linked to rain and temperature-dependent production systems (Gebre & Rahut, 2021). Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly a third of the population of East Africa suffered from undernourishment (FAO, 2019). Accentuated by climate change, East Africa suffers from sharp

Since March 2015, Yemen, a coastal Middle Eastern country, has suffered violent surges of civil unrest (Sharp & Salaam-Blyther, 2017), and in October 2016, the country reported an outbreak of a few cholera cases.

the largest values in RCP2.6 (blue curve, which shows a sharp peak at ~38°C and a relatively narrow interquartile range). The intermediate RCP4.5 (green) and RCP6.0 (black) scenarios show a significantly higher chance than RCP2.6 of seeing return levels exceeding 40°C, however RCP4.5 and RCP6.0

Atlantic Area. 20 Upper Atmosphere The need to understand more about the upper atmosphere was brought into sharp relief following the ‘Night of the Big Winds’ (24–25 March 1944) when an allied bomber stream destined for Berlin which had been forecast to meet winds no stronger than 45 mph encountered winds

to the challenges and opportunities this presents becomes ever more critical. The purpose of the Met Office – to work at the forefront of weather and climate science for society’s protection, prosperity and well-being – is now more sharply in focus than ever before. We are a major national asset

search algorithm to fill in SST data from the nearest available sea points, which led to unrealistically sharp SST gradients. To remedy this, we applied inversedistance-weighted (IDW) interpolation (with power parameter, p=2) to smoothly fill in the missing SSTs for each region before the ancillary

Wintry conditions continued through March across Scotland's mountains with extensive snow cover and blizzards at times at higher elevations, and a northerly incursion in late April brought some sharp frosts and further
