A comparison between gravity wave momentum fluxes in observations and climate models
For the first time, a formal comparison is made between gravity wave momentum fluxes in models and those derived from observations. Although gravity waves occur over a wide...- publication PDF

Anthropogenic fingerprint detectable in Upper Tropospheric ozone trends...
Tropospheric ozone (O-3) is a strong greenhouse gas, particularly in the upper troposphere (UT). Limited observations point to a continuous increase in UT O3 in recent decades,...- publication PDF

Future climate change in the Southern Hemisphere: Competing effects of ozone...
Future anthropogenic climate change in the Southern Hemisphere is likely to be driven by two opposing effects, stratospheric ozone recovery and increasing greenhouse gases. We...- publication PDF

Impact of latitudinal variations in vertical diffusivity on climate simulations
The currently available theoretical and observational evidence for a latitudinal structure of thermocline vertical diffusivity is synthesized and included in a state of the art...- publication PDF

The dependence of the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere system...
The strength of the Earth's magnetic field changes over time. We use simulations with the Coupled Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere model to investigate how the...- publication PDF

Evaluation of turbulence measurement techniques from a single Doppler lidar
Measurements of turbulence are essential to understand and quantify the transport and dispersal of heat, moisture, momentum, and trace gases within the planetary boundary layer...- publication PDF

The role of diurnal solenoidal circulation on propagating rainfall episodes...
In this case study, numerical simulations using the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) are performed for 3-4 May 2002, in which two propagating rain episodes occurred...- publication PDF

Agreement between reconstructed and modeled boreal precipitation of the Last...
The last extended time period when climate may have been warmer than today was during the Last Interglacial (LIG; ca. 129 to 120 thousand years ago). However, a global view of...- publication PDF

Macroscopic impacts of cloud and precipitation processes on maritime shallow...
This paper discusses impacts of cloud and precipitation processes on macrophysical properties of shallow convective clouds as simulated by a large eddy model applying warm-rain...- publication PDF

Rethinking the global secondary organic aerosol (SOA) budget: stronger...
Recent laboratory studies suggest that secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation rates are higher than assumed in current models. There is also evidence that SOA removal by dry...- publication PDF

A noise-aware combination of dual-frequency measurements from GPS radio occultation
One of the fundamental difficulties that arise when using GPS Radio Occultation (RO) data in exploiting the stratosphere is that the air becomes rarefied with increasing height...- publication PDF

Convection: The likely source of the medium-scale gravity waves observed in...
Six medium-scale gravity waves (GWs) with horizontal wavelengths of λH=60 - 160 km were detected on four nights by Taylor et al. (2009) in the OH airglow layer near Brasilia,...- publication PDF
