Seasonal variation of O/N2 on different pressure levels from GUVI limb measurements
The ratio of O number density to N-2 number density (O/N-2) is an important parameter to describe thermospheric composition changes and its effects on the ionosphere. Based on...- publication PDF

Recent tropical expansion: Natural variability or forced response?
Previous studies have documented a poleward shift in the subsiding branches of Earth's Hadley circulation since 1979 but have disagreed on the causes of these observed changes...- publication PDF

Response of Arctic ozone to sudden stratospheric warmings
Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are the main source of intra-seasonal and interannual variability in the extratropical stratosphere. The profound alterations to the...- publication PDF
