Coupling between Greenland blocking and the North Atlantic Oscillation pattern
Through the adoption of a bidimensional blocking index based on geopotential height, it is shown that the blocking frequency over Greenland is not only a key element in...- publication PDF

The emergence of shallow easterly jets within QBO westerlies
A configuration of an idealized general circulation model has been obtained in which a deep, stratospheric, equatorial, westerly jet is established that is spontaneously and...- publication PDF

Microphysical processes producing high ice water contents (HIWCs) in...
Regions with high ice water content (HIWC), composed of mainly small ice crystals, frequently occur over convective clouds in the tropics. Such regions can have median mass...- publication PDF

Insights into mechanisms governing forest carbon response to nitrogen...
In many forest ecosystems, nitrogen (N) deposition enhances plant uptake of carbon dioxide, thus reducing climate warming from fossil fuel emissions. Therefore, accurately...- publication PDF
