A unifying framework for metrics for aggregating the climate effect of...
Multi-gas approaches to climate change policies require a metric establishing 'equivalences' among emissions of various species. Climate scientists and economists have proposed...- publication PDF

Observations of thermosphere and ionosphere changes due to the dissipative...
In the current work, temperature and wind data from the Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite during the years 2002-2007 were used to...- publication PDF

Dynamic pressure drag on rising buoyant thermals in a neutrally stable environment
This study examines dynamic pressure drag on rising dry buoyant thermals. A theoretical expression for drag coefficient C-d as a function of several other nondimensional...- publication PDF

Tropospheric ozone decrease due to the Mount Pinatubo eruption: Reduced...
We quantify the relationship between Mount Pinatubo eruption in June 1991 and tropospheric ozone abundances. The ozone reduction in the stratosphere and troposphere following...- publication PDF

Preindustrial to present-day changes in tropospheric hydroxyl radical and...
We have analysed time-slice simulations from 17 global models, participating in the Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP), to explore changes...- publication PDF

An event study to provide validation of TING and CMIT geomagnetic...
The coupled thermosphere-ionosphere magnetosphere (CMIT) model and the Thermosphere Ionosphere Nested Grid (TING) model have been run to simulate the 15 May 1997 interplanetary...- publication PDF

Considerations on UAS-based in situ weather sensing in winter precipitation...
Freezing rain and freezing drizzle can produce nearly undetectable hazards, with potentially catastrophic consequences for aircraft within low altitudes (e.g., the terminal...- publication PDF

Semianalytical estimation of energy deposition in the ionosphere by...
For the first time we derive an analytical expression for energy deposition by propagating monochromatic Alfven waves in the collisional ionosphere-thermosphere (IT). Based on...- publication PDF

Land processes can substantially impact the mean climate state
Terrestrial processes influence the atmosphere by controlling land‐to‐atmosphere fluxes of energy, water, and carbon. Prior research has demonstrated that parameter...- publication PDF

Characterization of the long-term radiosonde temperature biases in the upper...
Radiosonde observations (RAOBs) have provided the only long-term global in situ temperature measurements in the troposphere and lower stratosphere since 1958. In this study, we...- publication PDF

Coupling an advanced land surface-hydrology model with the Penn State-NCAR...
A number of short-term numerical experiments conducted by the Penn State-NCAR fifth-generation Mesoscale Model (MM5) coupled with an advanced land surface model, alongside the...- publication PDF

Simulating global terrestrial carbon and nitrogen biogeochemical cycles with...
Nutrient limitation is widespread in terrestrial ecosystems. Accordingly, representations of nitrogen (N) limitation in land models typically dampen rates of terrestrial carbon...- publication PDF

Advancing research on compound weather and climate events via large ensemble...
Societally relevant weather impacts typically result from compound events, which are rare combinations of weather and climate drivers. Focussing on four event types arising from...- publication PDF

Observed increase of TTL temperature and water vapor in polluted clouds over Asia
Satellite observations are analyzed to examine the correlations between aerosols and the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) temperature and water vapor. This study focuses on two...- publication PDF

Clouds at Barbados are representative of clouds across the trade wind...
This paper shows that clouds near Barbados exhibit similar properties to those over much of the tropical oceans. This finding allows observations taken at Barbados to be...- publication PDF

The effect of atmospheric nudging on the stratospheric residual circulation...
We perform the first multi-model intercomparison of the impact of nudged meteorology on the stratospheric residual circulation using hindcast simulations from the Chemistry-...- publication PDF

Application of feature calibration and alignment to high-resolution...
Alignment errors [i.e., cases where coherent structures ("features") of clouds or precipitation in the background have position errors] can lead to large and non-Gaussian...- publication PDF
