Subtropical marine stratus clouds regulate coastal and global climate, but future trends in these
clouds are uncertain. In coastal Southern California (CSCA), interannual variations in summer stratus cloud
occurrence are spatially coherent across 24 airfields and dictated by positive relationships with stability
above the marine boundary layer (MBL) and MBL...

Stream-dwelling species in the U.S. southern Appalachian Mountains region are particularly vulnerable to climate change and acidification. The objectives of this study were to quantify the spatial extent of contemporary suitable habitat for acid- and thermally sensitive aquatic species and to forecast future habitat loss resulting from expected temperature increases...
The presence of low-lying stratocumulus clouds and fog has been known to modify biophysical and ecological properties in coastal California where forests are frequently shaded by low-lying clouds or immersed in fog during otherwise warm and dry summer months. Summer fog and stratus can ameliorate summer drought stress and enhance...
