The impact of positive-definite moisture transport on NWP precipitation forecasts
A positive-definite transport scheme for moisture is tested in a nonhydrostatic forecast model using convection-permitting resolutions. Use of the positive-definite scheme is...- publication PDF

New seasonal pattern of pollution emerges from changing North American wildfires
Rising emissions from wildfires over recent decades in the Pacific Northwest are known to counteract the reductions in human-produced aerosol pollution over North America. Since...- publication PDF

Hybrid simulations of a Tangential Discontinuity-driven Foreshock Bubble...
Hot flow anomalies (HFAs) and foreshock bubbles (FBs) are significant foreshock transients that can accelerate particles and disturb the magnetosphere-ionosphere system. Yet,...- publication PDF

Are terrestrial biosphere models fit for simulating the global land carbon sink?
The Global Carbon Project estimates that the terrestrial biosphere has absorbed about one-third of anthropogenic CO2 emissions during the 1959-2019 period. This sink-estimate is...- publication PDF

Concentric gravity waves in the mesosphere generated by deep convective...
Gravity waves in the mesopause region (80 - 105 km) may induce perturbations in OH Meinal Band emissions at ∼87 km. These perturbations can be observed by ground-based OH...- publication PDF
