SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
SNAPSHOT USA 2019–2023: The First Five Years of Data From a Coordinated Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed

The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate.

Influence of Walker circulations on East African rainfallNARA Subscribed
Delayed retreat of the summer monsoon over the Indochina Peninsula linked to surface warming trendsNARA Subscribed
The Indochina Peninsula (ICP) is dominated by a tropical monsoon climate, and changes of the prevailing winds here have a marked impact on moisture and aerosol transport. September to early October is within the monsoon retreat period that is preceded by a change in the zonal wind from westerly to easterly. Here, we show the long‐term change of the monsoon retreat date and its related climate factors. Climatologically, the zon...
Regional responses to surface warming are strongly influenced by the availability of surface or atmospheric moisture. For example, differences in evapotranspiration, atmospheric temperature lapse rate and heat capacity due to the availability of water over oceans and its lack over land contribute to an observed land/ocean warming ratio that is greater than one. This study shows that mechanisms related to the distributions of s...
Examining multidecadal trends in the surface heat balance over the tropical and subtropical oceans in atmospheric reanalysesNARA Subscribed
Trends in the components of the annual‐mean surface heat balance for 1979–2018 over the tropical and subtropical oceans are examined in multiple atmospheric reanalyses to understand how they are changing with current sea surface temperature (SST) trends. Confidence in the reanalysis values is evaluated through statistical significance, agreement among datasets, and physical analysis. While the climatology of the net surface he...
