Sensitivity of the Arctic sea ice cover to the summer Surface Scattering Layer
The "surface scattering layer" (SSL) is the highly-scattering, coarse-grained ice layer that forms on the surface of melting, drained sea ice during spring and summer. Ice of...- publication PDF

Are forecasts of the tropical cyclone radius of maximum wind skillful?
The radius of maximum wind (RMW) defines the location of the maximum winds in a tropical cyclone and is critical to understanding intensity change as well as hazard impacts. A...- publication PDF
