This paper reports on the daily mesospheric winter temperature series derived from ground-based spectral measurements of the hydroxyl airglow layer from the Auroral Station in Adventdalen near Longyearbyen, Svalbard (78°N, 15°E). Temperature estimates from the four latest seasons (2001–2002 to 2004–2005) have been added to the series reported by Sigernes et al. J. Geophys. Res. 108(A9), 1342 (2003). Lomb–Scargle periodogram analyses were performed on both hourly and daily average temperatures to look for significant periods. From the daily means, ∼24 and ∼26 d oscillations that are consistent with a solar rotation modulation of the atmosphere were identified. Analyses of the hourly averaged data did not reveal any considerable diurnal and semidiurnal periods in the temperatures. The 2003–2004 mesopause winter was one of the warmest reported over Svalbard during the last 25 years. It is common to observe within a few days temperature fluctuations in the range 20–40 K. Some years show far less variation than others. The overall daily average winter temperature is 209 K. The annual mean winter temperatures show a slightly positive temperature trend (+0.2 ± 0.1 K/year), on the verge of being a statistically significant change in the winter mesospheric temperatures over Svalbard.PACS Nos.: 92.60.hc, 07.20.Dt, 93.30.Sq, 92.60.hw

Elevated carbon dioxide (eCO2) is well known to stimulate plant photosynthesis and growth. Elevated carbon dioxide’s effects on crop yields are of particular interest due to concerns for future food security. We compiled experimental data where field-grown wheat (Triticum aestivum Linnaeus) was exposed to different CO2 concentrations. Yield and yield components were analyzed by meta-analysis to estimate average effects, and response functions derived to assess effect size in relation to CO2 concentration. Grain yield increased by 26% under eCO2 (average ambient concentration of 372 ppm and elevated 605 ppm), mainly due to the increase in grain number. The response function for grain yield with CO2 concentration strongly suggests a non-linear response, where yield stimulation levels off at ~600 ppm. This was supported by the meta-analysis, which did not indicate any significant difference in yield stimulation in wheat grown at 456–600 ppm compared to 601–750 ppm. Yield response to eCO2 was independent of fumigation technique and rooting environment, but clearly related to site productivity, where relative CO2 yield stimulation was stronger in low productive systems. The non-linear yield response, saturating at a relatively modest elevation of CO2, was of large importance for crop modelling and assessments of future food production under rising CO2.

Abstract We analyze a provincial-scale dataset of winter wheat yield, together with finescale daily weather outcomes from 1979 to 2011, to assess the responses of winter wheat yield in China to temperature fluctuations. Contrary to the majority of the previous literature, we find that winter wheat yield in China responded positively to higher nighttime temperature Tmin, with the positive Tmin effects most significant in the northern China winter wheat region. Consistent with the previous studies, winter wheat yield in China exhibited negative responses to higher daytime temperature Tmax. As a result of these opposing temperature effects on yield, the net economic impact of weather variations on China’s winter wheat sector is uncertain and is sensitive to specifications and data. Average winter wheat yield is projected to decline by 5.3%–7.0% by 2050 under the global climate model HadGEM2-ES and by 2.0%–3.4% under the NorESM1-M model.
