Radiative kernel is a widely adopted method for diagnosing radiation variability and climate feedback. However, most of the existing radiative kernels are broadband flux kernels and lack the spectral information. Motivated by the growing interest in the spectral changes of the Earth radiation budget, we generate a new set of band-by-band radiative kernels based on the fifth generation European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ERA5) reanalysis, which can be used for analyzing the spectrally decomposed changes in the top of atmosphere, surface and atmospheric radiation...

Land surface temperature (LST) is a crucial parameter in the circulation of water, exchange of land-atmosphere energy, and turbulence. Currently, most LST products rely heavily on thermal infrared remote sensing, which is susceptible to cloud and rain interference, leading to inferior temporal continuity. Microwave remote sensing has the advantage of being available "all-weather" due to strong penetration capability, which provides the possibility to simulate time-continuous LST data. In addition, the continuous increase in high-density station observations (>10,000 stations) provides reliable measured data for the remote sensing monitoring of LST in China...

Animals from embryos to adults experiencing stress from climate change have numerous mechanisms available for enhancing their long-term survival. In this review we consider these options, and how viable they are in a world increasingly experiencing extreme weather associated with climate change. A deeply understood mechanism involves natural selection, leading to evolution of new adaptations that help cope with extreme and stochastic weather events associated with climate change. While potentially effective at staving off environmental challenges, such adaptations typically occur very slowly and incrementally over evolutionary time...

Plant phenology plays a vital role in assessing climate change. To monitor this, individual plants are traditionally visited and observed by trained volunteers organized in national or international networks - in Germany, for example, by the German Weather Service, DWD. However, their number of observers is continuously decreasing. In this study, we explore the feasibility of using opportunistically captured plant observations, collected via the plant identification app Flora Incognita to determine the onset of flowering and, based on that, create interpolation maps comparable to those of the DWD...

The increasing human population and variable weather conditions, due to climate change, pose a threat to the world's food security. To improve global food security, we need to provide breeders with tools to develop crop cultivars that are more resilient to extreme weather conditions and provide growers with tools to more effectively manage biotic and abiotic stresses in their crops. Plant phenotyping, the measurement of a plant's structural and functional characteristics, has the potential to inform, improve and accelerate both breeders' selections and growers' management decisions...

Climate risks, particularly droughts and heat waves, negatively affect agricultural incomes worldwide. Drought insurance is promising to mitigate resulting income losses at the farm level. As the proportion of German farmers insured against drought is low, policymakers and insurers aim to increase the appeal of drought insurance to farmers. However, to accelerate their efforts in this regard, more information regarding farmers' intention to adopt drought insurance beyond current adoption is needed. To obtain initial insights, we surveyed 127 German farmers in a risk management context and applied a modified transtheoretical model of behavioral change...
