Characterization of a real-time tracer for isoprene epoxydiols-derived...
Substantial amounts of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) can be formed from isoprene epoxydiols (IEPOX), which are oxidation products of isoprene mainly under low-NO conditions....- publication PDF

Artificial plasma cave in the low-latitude ionosphere results from the radio...
Previous studies report unexpected electron density reductions, termed "plasma caves," located underneath the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) crests. A radio occultation...- publication PDF

Comparison of global observations and trends of total precipitable water...
We compare atmospheric total precipitable water (TPW) derived from the SSM/I (Special Sensor Microwave Imager) and SSMIS (Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder) radiometers...- publication PDF

Impact of circulation on export production, dissolved organic matter, and...
Results are presented of export production, dissolved organic matter (DOM) and dissolved oxygen simulated by 12 global ocean models participating in the second phase of the...- publication PDF

Intercomparison of GEOS-Chem and CAM-chem tropospheric oxidant chemistry...
Tropospheric ozone is a major air pollutant and greenhouse gas. It is also the primary precursor of OH, the main tropospheric oxidant. Global atmospheric chemistry models show...- publication PDF

The role of boundary layer dynamics on the diurnal evolution of isoprene and...
We investigate diurnal variability of isoprene and related chemical species in the Amazonian region. The dynamics and chemistry of an atmospheric boundary layer are studied with...- publication PDF

The vertical connection of the quasi-biennial oscillation-modulated 11 year...
We analyzed observational geopotential height data to provide some new insights on the 11 year solar cycle signal in the Northern Hemisphere early winter and its modulation by...- publication PDF

Simulating precipitation efficiency across the deep convective gray zone
Precipitation efficiency (PE) relates cloud condensation to precipitation and thus reflects how much of the total atmospheric condensate reaches the surface as precipitation....- publication PDF

Vertical Interpolation and Truncation of Model-coordinate Data
This technical note explores the advantages and disadvantages of using global analyses on 1) pressure level surfaces, and 2) model (sigma or hybrid) level surfaces and the...- publication PDF

Recent evidence for a strengthening COâ sink in the Southern Ocean from...
We present a 13âyear (2002-2015) semimonthly time series of the partial pressure of COâ in surface water (pCOâsurf) and other carbonate system parameters from the Drake...- publication PDF
