Trends in high-frequency climate variability in the twentieth century

Article Abstract:

Analysis of the high-frequency temperature and precipitation data indicates that a warmer climate results in the decrease of high-frequency temperature variability and an increase in the proportion of precipitation occurring in the extreme events. The data was obtained from hundreds of sites spread over Australia, China, the former Soviet republics and the US over the past 30 to 80 years. Temperature variability on a day-to-day basis has reduced in the Northern Hemisphere while the US and Australia have experienced an increase in the total precipitation contributed by extreme events.

Mass and volume contributions to twentieth-century global sea level rise

Article Abstract:

The sea level measurements at tide gauges, along with the temperature and salinity in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans close to the gauges, are examined and analyzed. It is observed that the gauge -determined rates of sea level rise are two to three times higher, than the rates due to volume change derived from temperature and salinity data.

Genius loci: the twentieth century was made in Budapest

Article Abstract:

Budapest, at the end of the 19 century and the beginning of the 20th century, produced more than its share of brilliant and gifted scientists, especially physicists. Among them were Eugene Wigner, Edward Teller and Arthur Koestler.
