Effect of a solar flare on a traveling atmospheric disturbance
It is known that the sudden injection of energy during geomagnetic storms can excite atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs) or traveling atmospheric disturbances (TADs). Together with...- publication PDF

Influence of the quasi-biennial oscillation and El Niño–Southern Oscillation...
Stratospheric sudden warmings (SSWs) are a major source of variability during Northern Hemisphere winter. The frequency of occurrence of SSWs is influenced by El Niño-Southern...- publication PDF

Implications of Arctic sea ice changes for North Atlantic deep convection...
Using CCSM4 climate simulations for 1850-2300 with four different future forcing scenarios, we show that the maximum strength of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation...- publication PDF

Air pollution and associated human mortality: The role of air pollutant...
Increases in surface ozone (O₃) and fine particulate matter (≤2.5 μm aerodynamic diameter, PM2.5) are associated with excess premature human mortalities. We estimate changes in...- publication PDF

Impact of host climate model on contrail cirrus effective radiative forcing estimates
Estimates of aviation effective radiative forcing (ERF) indicate that contrail cirrus is currently its largest contributor, although with a substantial associated uncertainty of...- publication PDF

Strong El Niño events lead to robust multi-year ENSO predictability
The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon-the dominant source of climate variability on seasonal to multi-year timescales-is predictable a few seasons in advance....- publication PDF

A multi-model assessment of RKW Theory's relevance to squall line characteristics
The authors evaluate whether the structure and intensity of simulated squall lines can be explained by "RKW theory," which most specifically addresses how density currents...- publication PDF
