A climatology of hurricane eye formation
This paper presents a climatology of the initial eye formations of a broad set of Atlantic tropical cyclones (TCs) during 1989 - 2008. A new dataset of structure and intensity...- publication PDF

A comparison of model-based ionospheric and ocean tidal magnetic signals...
Observed tidal geomagnetic field variations are due to a combination of electric currents in the ionosphere, ocean, and their induced counterparts. Using these variations to...- publication PDF

Boundary value problems for the shallow water equations with topography
Nonviscous shallow water equations with topography are considered in one spatial dimension. The aim is to find boundary conditions which are physically suitable; that is, they...- 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

Quantifying the risk of extreme events under climate change
We are all familiar with the proverbial "100-year flood," a concept instrumental in engineering design for water resources management. This concept, generally termed a "return...- publication PDF

The intraseasonal and interannual variability of Arctic temperature and...
Temperature and humidity inversions are common in the Arctic's lower troposphere, and are a crucial component of the Arctic's climate system. In this study, we quantify the...- publication PDF

Global changes in terrestrial vegetation and continental climate during the...
Most studies of the response of terrestrial vegetation to climate change during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) have focused on individual sites and sections. To get...- publication PDF
