We then postulate how this mortality might be affected by the future climate as predicted by a range of outputs from several general circulation models (GCMs). The tree data were originally collected...

... RAS 2005 Summary Recent studies based on various ocean general circulation models (OGCMs) demonstrate that the oceans are a major contributor to polar motion excitations. In this paper, we analyse and compare observed non-atmospheric polar motion excitations with oceanic angular momentum (OAM...
