    Identification of animal movement patterns using tri-axial magnetometry
    (2017) Williams, Hannah J; Holton, Mark D; Shepard, Emily L C; Largey, Nicola; Norman, Brad; Ryan, Peter G; Duriez, Olivier; Scantlebury, Michael; Quintana, Flavio; Magowan, Elizabeth A; Marks, Nikki J; Alagaili, Abdulaziz N; Bennett, Nigel C; Wilson, Rory P
    Accelerometers are powerful sensors in many bio-logging devices, and are increasingly allowing researchers to investigate the performance, behaviour, energy expenditure and even state, of free-living animals. Another sensor commonly used in animal-attached loggers is the magnetometer, which has been primarily used in dead-reckoning or inertial measurement tags, but little outside that. We examine the potential of magnetometers for helping elucidate the behaviour of animals in a manner analogous to, but very different from, accelerometers. The particular responses of magnetometers to movement means that there are instances when they can resolve behaviours that are not easily perceived using accelerometers.

    WCRP COordinated Regional Downscaling EXperiment (CORDEX): A diagnostic MIP for CMIP6
    (2016) Gutowski Jr, William J; Giorgi, Filippo; Timbal, Bertrand; Frigon, Anne; Jacob, Daniela; Kang, Hyun-Suk; Krishnan, R; Lee, Boram; Lennard, Christopher; Nikulin, Grigory; O’Rourke, Eleanor; Rixen, Michel; Solman, Silvina; Stephenson, Tannecia; Tangang, Fredolin
    The COordinated Regional Downscaling EXperiment (CORDEX) is a diagnostic model intercomparison project (MIP) in CMIP6. CORDEX builds on a foundation of previous downscaling intercomparison projects to provide a common framework for downscaling activities around the world. The CORDEX Regional Challenges provide a focus for downscaling research and a basis for making use of CMIP6 global climate model (GCM) output to produce downscaled projected changes in regional climates and assess sources of uncertainties in the projections, all of which can potentially be distilled into climate change information for vulnerability, impacts and adaptation studies. CORDEX Flagship Pilot Studies advance regional downscaling by targeting one or more of the CORDEX Regional Challenges. A CORDEX-CORE framework is planned that will produce a baseline set of homogeneous high-resolution, downscaled projections for regions worldwide. In CMIP6, CORDEX coordinates with ScenarioMIP and is structured to allow cross comparisons with HighResMIP and interaction with the CMIP6 VIACS Advisory Board.
