Evaluating mesoscale NWP models using kinetic energy spectra
Kinetic energy spectra derived from observations in the free atmosphere possess a wavenumber dependence of k^-3 for large scales, characteristic of 2D turbulence, and transition...- publication PDF

The seasonal temperature conundrum for the Holocene
Temperature is the key variable in the study of climate changes in the past and future. Most previous studies on past temperature reconstructions, however, have focused on the...- publication PDF

A regional nuclear conflict would compromise global food security
A limited nuclear war between India and Pakistan could ignite fires large enough to emit more than 5 Tg of soot into the stratosphere. Climate model simulations have shown...- publication PDF
