Origin of interannual variability in global mean sea level
The two dominant drivers of the global mean sea level (GMSL) variability at interannual timescales are steric changes due to changes in ocean heat content and barystatic changes...- publication PDF

Decadal disruption of the QBO by tropical volcanic supereruptions
The Los Chocoyos (14.6 degrees N, 91.2 degrees W) supereruption happened similar to 75,000 years ago in Guatemala and was one of the largest eruptions of the past 100,000 years....- 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

High-latitude cooling associated with landscape changes from North American...
Fires in the boreal forests of North America are generally stand-replacing, killing the majority of trees and initiating succession that may last over a century. Functional...- publication PDF

Temperature trends in the NARCCAP regional climate models
The skill of six regional climate models (RCMs) in reproducing short-term (24-yr), observed, near-surface temperature trends when driven by reanalysis is examined. The RCMs are...- publication PDF

Incorporating misclassification error in skill assessment
It is desirable to account for misclassification error of meteorological observations so that the true skill of the forecast can be assessed. Errors in observations can occur,...- publication PDF

A global scale mechanistic model of photosynthetic capacity (LUNA V1.0)
Although plant photosynthetic capacity as determined by the maximum carboxylation rate (i.e., Vc, max25) and the maximum electron transport rate (i.e., Jmax25) at a reference...- publication PDF

A framework to understand the asymptotic properties of Kriging and splines
Kriging is a nonparametric regression method used in geostatistics for estimating curves and surfaces for spatial data. It may come as a surprise that the Kriging estimator,...- publication PDF

The thermoinsulation effect of snow cover within a climate model
We use a state of the art climate model (CAM3-CLM3) to investigate the sensitivity of surface climate and land surface processes to treatments of snow thermal conductivity. In...- publication PDF

Formaldehyde evolution in US wildfire plumes during the Fire Influence on...
Formaldehyde (HCHO) is one of the most abundant non-methane volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by fires. HCHO also undergoes chemical production and loss as a fire plume...- publication PDF

The role of flare-driven ionospheric electron density changes on the doppler...
Trans-ionospheric high frequency (HF: 3-30 MHz) signals experience strong attenuation following a solar flare-driven sudden ionospheric disturbance (SID). Solar flare-driven HF...- publication PDF

A global climatology of wind-wave interaction
Generally, ocean waves are thought to act as a drag on the surface wind so that momentum is transferred downward, from the atmosphere into the waves. Recent observations have...- publication PDF
