Methane, a strong greenhouse gas that naturally escapes from the bottom of the North Sea, is affected by the pressure of high or low tide.

Lakes, with their rich biodiversity and important ecological services, face a concerning trend: rapidly increasing temperatures. 

While, in theory, precipitation impacts the Earth’s radiation budget, the radiative effects of precipitation (REP) are poorly understood and excluded from most climate models.
