Authors: Smita Paschal  , Dr. Nimisha Srivastav
Published: February 2022

Job satisfaction, also known as employee satisfaction, is a measure of how happy employees are with their jobs, whether they like the job or specific components of it, such as the nature of the work or supervision. Job satisfaction is divided into three categories: cognitive (evaluative), affective (or emotional), and behavioural. The National Education Policy 2020 will serve as a stimulus for reforming the educational system in order to increase future generations' employability. The NEP 2020 places a strong emphasis on work happiness, emphasising the significance of education in providing students with the necessary skills. NEP 2020 sets a major focus on job satisfaction, emphasising the importance of education in equipping students with the skills they need. It also correlates with the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which aspires to provide high-quality education to everyone and encourage lifelong learning opportunities by 2030. To achieve this aim, the strategy emphasises the importance of reforming the educational system.
Electrochemical Studies of the Effect of Preannealing Temperature and Aging Time on the Degree of Sensitization in 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel
Authors: Dehghanpour M. , Naghizadeh M. , Karimihaghighi R. , Moayed M.H.
Published: February 2022

The degree of sensitization (DOS) of an aged 2205 duplex stainless steel preannealed at three solution temperatures was determined using the double loop electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation method. Solution annealing at 1,250°C prior to 10 min aging at 850°C resulted in a much lower DOS than that of samples preannealed at 1,050°C and at 1,150°C. However, compared to other samples, the increase in DOS of the sample preannealed at 1,250°C was more significant after longer aging at 850°C. A promising correlation between the DOS and the volume fraction of the sigma phase was observed.

Surdos e a educação bilíngue em tempos de pandemia: o enunciATO de professores em análise
Authors: Albres Neiva Aquino , Jung Ana Paula
Published: February 2022

Neste estudo, propõe-se uma análise do contexto da política linguística para surdos e o lugar do professor, refletindo sobre as ações linguísticas institucionais e as práticas cotidianas de ensino de e em Libras no Brasil em período de pandemia. Pautadas na perspectiva dialógica do discurso de Bakhtin e do círculo (2006, 2008), utilizamos a pesquisa qualitativa. Esta pesquisa tem o caráter etnográfico virtual proposto nas perspectivas de Hine (2009, 2015). Para tanto, selecionamos documentos textuais e visuais no intuito de descrevê-los, analisá-los e compará-los. Constatamos que, apesar da política no Brasil garantir o acesso às informações em Libras e à educação remota, isso ocorre de fato pela via da ação proveniente das comunidades de surdos e de intérpretes. Esse fato escancara as desigualdades sociais, principalmente a linguística, em período de distanciamento social. A partir destas constatações, concluímos que as desigualdades são minimizadas pela ação de professores e de tradutores e intérpretes de Libras-Português, ouvintes, e surdos que unidos desenvolvem uma política linguística de baixo para cima.

Authors: Eltermann Ana Cláudia Fabre , Santos Renata , Mendes Neckel Filipe
Published: February 2022

Devido à pandemia de COVID-19 que assola o mundo desde 2020, muito tem-se refletido sobre os seus efeitos sobre o corpo social. O objetivo deste artigo é discutir os tensionamentos nos discursos a respeito da educação, principalmente do fechamento das escolas durante pandemia em dois momentos: início da pandemia (março/2020) e seu auge (março/2021). Apresentamos, como quadro teórico, os conceitos de biopolítica (FOUCAULT, 2005; 2014; ESPOSITO, 2017); necropolítica (MBEMBE, 2018); governamentalidade (FOUCAULT, 1979b); e economicização (BROWN, 2017; 2018). O escopo deste trabalho recai sobre os discursos veiculados em uma plataforma de notícias do estado de Santa Catarina. A escolha do período se deu com o intuito de contrastar possíveis diferenças nos discursos do início da pandemia e naqueles de um ano depois. Como resultado, percebemos uma mudança de postura por parte do governo a respeito do fechamento das escolas de março de 2020 para março de 2021.

Linguicídio africano no Brasil
Authors: Evaristo Jefferson
Published: February 2022

história sociolinguística do Brasil é permeada de contatos, conflitos, rupturas, imposições e prevalências. Se, de um lado, chegaram os portugueses e a língua portuguesa ao Brasil, de outro chegaram também numerosos grupos étnico-linguísticos vindos do continente africano, trazidos especialmente através do tráfico negreiro – o que, por si só, já dá o tom das relações possíveis entre a língua portuguesa e as línguas vindas da África. Nosso texto enfoca o período do século XVI ao XIX e a dinâmica da relação entre a língua portuguesa e as línguas africanas, discutindo o processo de linguicídio por que as línguas africanas passaram.
Integrationism and language ideologies
Authors: Severo Cristine Gorski , Pablé Adrian , Makoni Sinfree , Jones Peter
Published: February 2022

The present special issue goes back to the online conference entitled Integrationism and Language Ideologies (March 15-20, 2021), which was organized by the Language Policy Group of the Federal University of Santa Catarina in conjunction with the International Association for the Integrational Study of Language and Communication (IAISLC). The contributions in this issue are for the most part revised versions of the conference papers presented at the event. The special issue also features an interview with integrationist David Bade as well as a Portuguese translation by Cristine Severo and Ana Cláudia Eltermann of one of Harris’ texts (‘The integrationist critique of orthodox linguistics’). The present volume introduces key ideas on Roy Harris’ integrational linguistics to a Lusophone readership by highlighting relevant issues in language ideology, linguistic methodology, decolonial linguistics and (socio)linguistic theory. The various contributions all underline the necessity to rethink (or ‘demythologize’) the semiological and philosophical foundations of orthodox linguistics and a need to develop a theory of communication in which language is treated as an integrated mode rather than a segregated object.
The effectiveness of spinal manipulation compared to passive oscillatory mobilization in the management of chronic mechanical thoracic spine pain
Authors:   , Pillay Vanessa Kogilam
Published: February 2022

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of spinal manipulation compared to passive oscillatory mobilization in order to evaluate the more effective treatment in the management of chronic mechanical thoracic spine pain. It was hypothesized that spinal manipulation and passive oscillatory mobilization would both be effective in the treatment of chronic mechanical thoracic spine pain. It was further postulated that spinal manipulation would be comparatively more effective than passive oscillatory mobilization in terms of objective and subjective clinical findings. This randomised controlled clinical trial consisted of a study population of 60, obtained by convenience sampling. Those patients diagnosed as suffering from chronic mechanical thoracic spine pain were randomly allocated to two groups of 30 each. One group received spinal manipulation and the other group passive oscillatory mobilization on the affected segments. Both groups of patients received 5 treatments over a two-week period. The subjective data was obtained by the use of the short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire and the Numerical Pain Rating Scale-101 Questionnaire. These were filled in by the patient before the first, third and fifth treatments. The objective data was acquired through the use of the algometer. Readings were taken before and after the first, third and fifth treatments. Intra-group analysis of the short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire was done using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The paired t-test was used for the Numerical Pain Rating Scale -101 Questionnaire and the Algometer Readings (intra-group analysis). Inter-group analysis of the short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire was done using the Mann Whitney unpaired Utest. The unpaired t-test was used for the Numerical Pain Rating Scale-l 0 I Questionnaire and the Algometer Readings (inter-group analysis). a was set at a 0.05 level of significance. The results were illustrated by means of tables and
A homoeopathic drug proving of Sutherlandia frutescens and a subsequent comparison to those remedies producing the highest numerical values and total number of rubrics on repertorisation of the proving symptoms
Authors:   , Van Der Hulst Nicolette
Published: February 2022

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of Sutherlandia frutescens 30CH on healthy provers, and to record the signs and symptoms produced, so that it may be prescribed according to the Law of Similars. A further aim of the investigation was to compare those remedies yielding the highest numerical value and total number of rubrics on repertorisation of the proving symptoms to Sutherlandia frutescens. It was hypothesised that the 30CH potency of Sutherlandia frutescens would produce clearly observable signs and symptoms in healthy provers, and that the comparison of Sutherlandia frutescens to those remedies yielding the highest numerical value and total number of rubrics on repertorisation of the proving symptoms would highlight differences and similarities between the remedy symptoms so that confusion as to indication is erased. It was hypothesised that a fuller understanding of Sutherlandia frutescens and its relationship to other remedies would be gained following this comparison. III A double blind, placebo controlled proving of Sutherlandia frutescens 30CH was conducted on twenty-four healthy volunteers who met the inclusion criteria. Six of the twenty-four provers randomly received placebo, with neither prover nor researcher knowing who was on placebo. Provers had a homoeopathic case history taken and physical examination performed on them before commencement of the proving. The provers recorded their signs and symptoms before, during and after administration of the remedy, by means of a journal. On completion of the proving, the information was correlated and assessed by the four researchers, the symptoms elicited translated into Materia Medica and Repertory language, and a homoeopathic picture of the remedy formulated. Data from the case histories, physical examinations and group discussion were also considered.
The relative effectiveness of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication as compared to a homoeopathic complex in the treatment of cervical facet syndrome
Authors:   , Hepburn Stuart Estridge
Published: February 2022

The literature shows neck pain, including cervical facet syndrome, to be a common problem. It also provides evidence that inflammation plays a role in cervical facet pathology. Prescription of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is the first line treatment of allopathic physicians for neck pain. Traumeel S is a complex of homoeopathic remedies indicated in a variety of anti-inflammatory, traumatic and degenerative disorders. It has been clinically shown that Traumeel S is effective in the treatment of inflammation. There is a paucity of clinical research into the treatment of acute neck pain, including cervical facet syndrome, with antiinflammatory agents. The aim of this study was to compare the relative effectiveness of piroxicam, an NSAID, with Traumeel S in the treatment of acute cervical facet syndrome. The study was a double-blind, comparative, clinical trial. Fifty consecutive patients complying with all inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to either the Traumeel S group or the piroxicam group. Each patient in the NSAID group received 40 mg of piroxicam per day for the first two days and 20 mg per day for the following 5 days. The Traumeel S group received the same dosage of placebo piroxicam capsules and 3 Traumeel S tablets in crushed form, per day. Placebo Traumeel Stablets, also in crushed form, were taken 3 times a day by the NSAID group to facilitate blinding. III Patients were assessed on days 1, 3 and 7 of the trial. Subjective assessment involved two questionnaires: the CMCC Neck Disability Index, and the NRS-101

Published: February 2022

The aim of this study was to determine the degree of proficiency of Homoeopathy in the treatment of Acne Vulgaris in terms of its clinical manifestations and the patients perception to the treatment in order to determine the role Homoeopathy plays, if any, in the treatment of this condition. In this study the specific single variable design chosen was the 'before-and-after with control'. A sample of thirty patients was randomly taken from the greater Durban area, and from this sample fifteen patients were treated with Homoeopathic treatment and the remaining fifteen received placebo treatment. Patients were screened using a series of delimitations set out in a consent form which was signed by the patients. An extensive case history was performed on each patient at the first consultation in order to assess their Mental, Emotional and their Physical well being and were seen at regular four week intervals thereafter. The patients were also photographed at the first and all the subsequent visits. Based on the case history and a physical examination, Homoeopathic medication or placebo was prescribed according to the law of similars. At each of the following consultations the patients completed a questionnaire regarding their perception to the treatment and were rephotographed noting any changes.
The effectiveness of manipulation of the symptomatic sacroiliac joint compared to manipulation of both the asymptomatic and symptomatic sacroiliac joints in the treatment of unilateral sacroiliac syndrome
Authors:   , Marszalek Norman Maciej
Published: February 2022

Low back pain (LBP) is a significant public health problem that has had a marked impact on quality of life and on health care costs (Weiner, et al. 2000:450). Toussaint, et al. (1999:134) established that the prevalence of sacroiliac joint dysfunction in the population has been noted in the medical literature to be between 19.3% and 47.9%. There is a lack of consensus among medical practitioners, chiropractors, osteopaths, physiotherapists and others as to the most appropriate therapy or management for sacroiliac syndrome. This study was designed to determine the effectiveness of manipulation of the symptomatic sacroiliac joint compared to manipulation of both the symptomatic and the asymptomatic sacroiliac joints in the treatment of unilateral sacroiliac syndrome. Anecdotal evidence would seem to indicate that the direction of the chiropractic manipulation is immaterial to clinical improvement (Till, 1994). Bilateral manipulation of the symptomatic and asymptomatic joints has been used in clinical practice in an attempt to increase the efficacy of chiropractic management for unilateral sacroiliac joint syndrome (Till, 1994, Lewis, 2001 and Nook, 2000). Walker (1992:914) was of the opinion that 'Unless reliability and validity of assessments and effectiveness of treatment procedures can be demonstrated, clinicians should temper their claims of measurement of, and direct effects on, the sacroiliac joint.' This randomized, comparative clinical trial consisted of sixty voluntary subjects each suffering from sacroiliac joint syndrome. There were two groups of thirty subjects, each of whom received five treatments within a three week period. Group one received manipulation of the symptomatic sacroiliac joint
The efficacy of a homoeopathic complex (arnica, hypericum and phosphorus) in the treatment of post-operative implications associated with impacted third molar dental extraction
Authors:   , Dos Ramos Maureen
Published: February 2022

The aim of this placebo-controlled study was to determine the effectiveness of a homoeopathic complex in impacted third molars in terms of the patients response to treatment. It was hypothesised that the homoeopathic treatment would result in substantial improvement in post operative implications of impacted third molars, and that it can be used as an alternative to analgesic and anti-inflammatory treatment in many cases. Both the analgesics and anti-inflammatories utilised post-operatively in impacted third molar have a wide variety of side effects. Homoeopathic treatment on the other hand does not have side effects. It also has the added benefit of taking the medication pre-operatively as well as post-operatively. In so doing the body is prepared for the surgical intervention before it occurs and thus stimulates healing immediately, even as the surgical intervention is taking place. Where as the antiinflammatories and analgesics are traditionally only prescribed post-operatively and therefore can only take effect once the patient consumes the medication. The study was a clinical trial, in which a placebo control group was compared with an experimental group. Convenience sampling was used to draw patients into the trial. Volunteers responded to talks given by the researcher and after reading the patient information sheet. A minimum of 30 participants was assessed and if they complied with thee
Teacher Transfers and Teachers’ Performance: Experience from Uganda Primary Schools
Authors: Richard Ibwongo* Stephen , Agwot Komakech Robert
Published: February 2022

Achievement of excellent academic performance depends largely on the quality of the teachers deployed in the school. The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between teacher transfer and teachers’ performance in Uganda. The study used exploratory and descriptive designs where both qualitative and quantitative approaches were applied. Quantitative data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) Ver. 20 which helped to obtain descriptive statistics that were used in interpreting the data while correlation and regression analyses were used for testing and predicting the study hypotheses. Qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis where data was divided into themes, sub-themes and categories which helped to sort data according to its relevance to each piece of data that was obtained in the findings. Questionnaires and interview guide were used to collect data from a sample of 140 respondents of which 111 returned their completed usable filled questionnaires giving a response rate of 79.3%. The findings revealed that all the dimensions of teacher transfers (voluntary and involuntary transfers) were positively and significantly associated with teachers’ performance in Uganda. The major reasons for voluntary transfer were lack of accommodation, distance from families, promotion and illness while involuntary transfers were due to poor performance of teachers, misconduct, conflict with management and drunkenness. The study concludes that voluntary transfer factors are stronger than involuntary factors in accounting for a variation in teachers’ performance in Uganda primary schools. The study recommends that the district leadership should map or grade all schools in the district in terms of low, average and high performing schools as well as bring indiscipline teachers to book instead of transferring and establish adhoc transfer committees.

Published: February 2022

The incision is a condition of tissue discontinuity that is commonly encountered with the risk of prolonged healing time, imperfect wound healing, infection, etc. Assessment of the wound healing activity of the incision is the purpose of this research, which includes an examination of wound contraction, the thickness of collagen fibers, and the number of new blood vessels formation. In total, 25 rats will be divided into 5 test groups, each consisting of 5 rats; the control group (cream base treated), standard group (Povidone Iodine), followed by the treated group with 10%, 20%, and 30% pandan leaf extract ointment. The preliminary screening of phytochemical analysisshowed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, tannins, triterpenoids, and steroids and glycosides, with the total content of phenols and flavonoids from the ethanolic extract of Pandan Wangi is 20.95 GAE mg/gram extract, and 23.57 TAE mg/gram extract. Wound contraction examination result showed a significant difference between the treatment groups on day 16 and a sign the pairs of groups after being given the ointment with each concentration (p <0.05), especially in the group with 30% fragrant leaves extract and the standard group. Examination of new blood vessels showed a significant difference (p <0.05), especially with 30% of the leaves extract ointment. There was also a significant difference in collagen density in the group given pandanus ethanol ointment, especially at the 30% pandanus extract content against the group that was only given the ointment base. This research strongly suggests that the fragrant pandan leaf extract ointment is effective in healing incisional wounds and promises the potential for further studies on the pharmacological aspects.

Deepening teachers’ engagement to improve learners’ performance in modular learning through OCEANS 13 program
Authors: Gomez Angelie M. C. , Ceballo Emma C.
Published: February 2022

The outbreak of COVID- 19 challenged the education sector to continue the delivery of quality and accessible education. Most teachers in the Senior High School were concerned about the lack of motivation on the part of the learners to submit the modules given to them as well as the activity sheets during remediation resulting to poor academic performance. Hence, this study aimed to improve learners’ performance in modular learning by deepening teachers’ engagement through the OCEANS 13 Program. This program had 3 phases. The first phase was AGAK (Ang Gitinguha Atong Kab-uton) or (Reach our Dreams) which was a Parent-Teacher-Learner Consultation, the second phase was Intensified Home Visitation  (IHV) and the third phase was HBO (Hawak-kamay with the Brgy. Officials) or (hand-in-hand with community officials) which was a partnership of the school and community officials. These interventions were conducted to the 20 Grade 11 learners who were at risk of failing during the onset of COVID-19, School Year 2020-2021. The conduct of the 2 phases of this program has significantly improved the learners’ performance as it is evident in the learners’ status at the end of the semester with a 100% of the students who passed in all subject areas. The 3rd phase was not conducted anymore. Results from the Pre and Post-Intervention Surveys to the 73 learners with grades 75-79 about their teachers’ engagement revealed that the difference between the two means is significant even at the 0.01 level (p = 0.000345, p < .01).  Hence, this signifies that OCEANS 13, is very effective not just in the improvement of the learners’ performance but also it changed significantly the perception of the students on the treatment of their teachers toward them. Based from the results of this study, we recommend to continue this program.

Published: February 2022

O presente artigo destaca a construção de estratégias relativas aos processos educativos e suas formas de superar o isolamento social ocasionado pela pandemia da Covid-19. No bojo dessas estratégias, as Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDIC) se destacaram nas possibilidades de ambientes de ensino e aprendizagem e processos de mediação de forma não presencial. Apesar de as TDIC estarem presentes no cotidiano escolar, sobretudo no desenvolvimento da educação a distância, cabe destacar que a modalidade desenvolvida no contexto da pandemia trata-se de ensino remoto emergencial. Diante disso, o presente estudo volta-se a investigar estratégias e desafios que os professores da Universidade de Brasília (UnB) apontam em sua prática pedagógica no ensino remoto emergencial. Busca-se identificar inovações em suas práticas pedagógicas e quais desafios foram se constituindo ao longo dessa trajetória. Analisamos, inicialmente, concepções de qualidade e inovação em educação a distância na literatura existente. A partir dessas concepções, aprofundamos os referenciais de inovação das práticas pedagógicas no contexto da pandemia. Em seguida, apresentamos os dados da pesquisa realizada com os professores da UnB e, por fim, buscamos evidenciar inovações que se apresentam no processo de ressignificação das práticas pedagógicas desses profissionais e quais desafios foram registrados. A partir das reflexões com base na literatura e na realidade investigada no âmbito da UnB, concluímos que, no sentido da educação digital em rede, as práticas pedagógicas dos professores demonstraram a vivência de elementos que permitem a efetivação dessa educação em um determinado tempo, mesmo reconhecendo suas etapas ainda em estágios iniciais.

O Programa é uma ação indutora do Ministério da Educação (MEC) tendo como principal mecanismo de regulação e controle o atrelamento dos recursos financeiros ao cumprimento das metas pactuadas pelas instituições, nos seus planos de reestruturação. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa que utiliza como procedimentos metodológicos, a revisão da bibliografia, análise documental e de dados estatísticos. Conclui que a UFRN utilizou-se de diferentes estratégias para atender as metas de expansão pactuadas no âmbito do Reuni, entre elas a criação dos Bacharelados Interdisciplinares que são cursos extremamente flexíveis no que se refere à diversificação e diferenciação institucional, modificando a arquitetura do sistema universitário e ressignificando o conceito de instituição universitária pública.

A política de formação de professores/as no Brasil, instituída no âmbito social da lógica do modo de produção capitalista, vêm construindo alternativas de padronização, bem como, do controle do conjunto da classe trabalhadora em um processo de mutação da sua atividade. Nesse contexto de formação para o trabalho, este estudo analisa a política de formação de professores/as no Brasil, com foco no Programa Residência Pedagógica (PRP) na Amazônia.  Problematiza-se a disputa de um projeto curricular dos cursos de formação de professores/as, quando do alinhamento à Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), ao Projeto Pedagógico de Curso e o PRP. Os pressupostos teórico-metodológicos se fundamentam no materialismo histórico dialético, fazendo uso da análise documental, com destaque para as regulamentações da Capes e, dos projetos institucionais do Programa (versão 2020), das sete maiores IES federais do Norte. O tratamento dos dados se deu por meio da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados indicam que a Região Norte, ainda se mantem historicamente, como a que menos recebe financiamento das políticas desenvolvidas no Brasil, pois recebeu um menor número de bolsas. Quanto aos Projetos do PRP, se apresentam alinhados às estratégias de controle do trabalho, com vinculação à Pedagogia das Competências, validando a lógica dicotômica entre trabalho manual e intelectual na Educação Superior. No entanto, em que pese as contradições de opções teórico-metodológicas, impostas pelos critérios do Edital, registra-se que as Universidades da Região, forjaram em sua maioria, luta em defesa de investimentos para os estudantes e oportunidades de projetos formativos, por meio do PRP.

Atomistic and coarse grained simulations reveal increased ice nucleation activity on silver iodide surfaces in slit and wedge geometries

Published: February 2022

Abstract. Ice clouds can form at low and moderate supercooling through heterogeneous ice nucleation on atmospheric particles. Typically, the nucleation requires active sites with special chemical and physical properties, including surface topology and roughness. This paper investigates microscopic mechanisms of how combinations of confinement by the surface topology and lattice match induced by the surface properties can lead to enhanced ice nucleation. We perform molecular dynamics simulations using both atomistic and coarse-grained water models, at very low supercooling, to extensively study heterogeneous ice nucleation in slit-like and concave wedge structures of silver-terminated silver iodide (0001) surfaces. We find that ice nucleation is greatly enhanced by slit-like structures when the gap width is a near-integer multiple of the thickness of an ice bilayer. For wedge systems we also do not find a simple linear dependence between ice nucleation activity and the opening angle. Instead we observe strong enhancement in concave wedge systems with angles that match the orientations of ice lattice planes, highlighting the importance of structural matching for ice nucleation in confined geometries. While in the slit systems ice cannot grow out of the slit, some wedge systems show that ice readily grows out of the wedge. In addition, some wedge systems stabilize ice structures when heating the system above the thermodynamics melting point. In the context of atmospheric ice nucleating particles, our results strongly support the experimental evidence for the importance of surface features such as cracks or pits functioning as active sites for ice nucleation at low supercooling.
A new global climate reconstruction for the Last Glacial Maximum
Authors: Annan James , Hargreaves Julia , Mauritsen Thorsten
Published: February 2022

Abstract. We present a new reconstruction of surface air temperature and sea surface temperature for the Last Glacial Maximum. The method blends model fields and sparse proxy-based point estimates through a data assimilation approach. Our reconstruction updates that of Annan and Hargreaves (2013), using improved models, data and methodology and our reconstruction has a global annual mean surface air temperature anomaly of −4.5 ± 0.9 °C relative to the pre-industrial climate. This is slightly colder than our previous estimate, with an upwards revision on its uncertainty due to methodological assumptions. It is, however, substantially less cold than the recent reconstruction of Tierney et al. (2020). We discuss the reasons for this discrepancy.
How well is Rossby wave activity represented in the PRIMAVERA coupled simulations?
Authors: Ghinassi Paolo , Fabiano Federico , Corti Susanna
Published: February 2022

Abstract. This work aims to assess the performance of state-of-the-art global climate models in representing the upper-tropospheric Rossby wave pattern in the
Northern Hemisphere and over the European–Atlantic sector. A diagnostic based on finite-amplitude local wave activity is used as an objective metric to
quantify the amplitude of Rossby waves in terms of Rossby wave activity. This diagnostic framework is applied to a set of coupled historical climate
simulations at different horizontal resolutions, performed in the framework of the PRIMAVERA project and compared with observations (ERA5
reanalysis). At first, the spatio-temporal characteristics of Rossby wave activity in the Northern Hemisphere are examined in the multimodel mean of
the whole PRIMAVERA set. When examining the spatial distribution of transient wave activity, only a minimal improvement is found in the high-resolution
ensemble. On the other hand, when examining the temporal variability of wave activity, a higher resolution is beneficial in all models apart from
one. In addition, when examining the Rossby wave activity time series, no evident trends are found in the historical simulations (at both standard and
high resolutions) and in the observations. Finally, the spatial distribution of Rossby wave activity is investigated in more detail focusing on the
European–Atlantic sector, examining the wave activity pattern associated with weather regimes for each model. Results show a marked inter-model
variability in representing the correct spatial distribution of Rossby wave activity associated with each regime pattern, and an increased horizontal
resolution improves the models' performance only for some of the models and for some of the regimes. A positive impact of an increased horizontal
resolution is found only for the models in which both the atmospheric and oceanic resolution is changed, whereas in the models in which only the
atmospheric resolution is increased, a worsening model performance is detected.
