Kinetic-scale magnetic holes inside foreshock transients
In Earth's foreshock, there are many foreshock transients that have core regions with low field strength, low density, high temperature, and bulk velocity variation. Through...- publication PDF

The Craig-Sneyd analytic solutions to the Parker problem
This paper follows up on the conclusion by Craig and Sneyd (2005) that the solutions to a linearized magnetostatic problem are counterexamples to the magnetostatic model of...- publication PDF

Surface-atmosphere decoupling limits accumulation at Summit, Greenland
Despite rapid melting in the coastal regions of the Greenland Ice Sheet, a significant area (~40%) of the ice sheet rarely experiences surface melting. In these regions, the...- publication PDF

The NOx dependence of bromine chemistry in the Arctic atmospheric boundary layer
Arctic boundary layer nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO2 + NO) are naturally produced in and released from the sunlit snowpack and range between 10 to 100 pptv in the remote background...- publication PDF

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

Nonequilibrium fractionation during ice cloud formation in iCAM5: Evaluating...
Supersaturation with respect to ice determines the strength of nonequilibrium fractionation during vapor deposition onto ice or snow and therefore influences the water isotopic...- publication PDF
