Evaluation of ozone deposition models over a subalpine forest in Niwot...
In this study, we evaluated three conceptually similar ozone gas deposition models. These dry deposition models are frequently used with chemical transport models for...- publication PDF

CAM3 bias over the Arctic region during northern winter studied with a...
This study builds upon two prior papers, which examine Arctic region bias of CAM3 (NCAR Community Atmosphere Model version 3) simulations during winter. CAM3 output is compared...- publication PDF

The Positive North Atlantic Oscillation with downstream blocking and Middle...
A recent study revealed that cold winter outbreaks over the Middle East and southeastern Europe are caused mainly by the northeast-southwest (NE-SW) tilting of European blocking...- publication PDF

Temporal oscillations in convective boundary layer forced by mesoscale...
A theoretical approach suggests that the surface heterogeneity on a scale of tens of kilometres can generate mesoscale motions that are not in a quasi-stationary state. The...- publication PDF

Investigations of mesoscopic complexity of small ice crystals in midlatitude cirrus
During the Mid-Latitude CIRRUS campaign small (<50 mu m) ice crystals were characterized for their mesoscopic complexity using the Small Ice Detector Mk. 3. It was found that...- publication PDF

Intermittency in precipitation: duration, frequency, intensity, and amounts...
Intermittency is a core characteristic of precipitation, not well described by data and very poorly modeled. Detailed analyses are made of near-global gridded (about 1 degrees)...- publication PDF

Improved estimates of changes in upper ocean salinity and the hydrological cycle
Ocean salinity records the hydrological cycle and its changes, but data scarcity and the large changes in sampling make the reconstructions of long-term salinity changes...- publication PDF

A class of nonhydrostatic global models
A Cartesian, small- to mesoscale nonhydrostatic model is extended to a rotating mountainous sphere, thereby dispensing with the traditional geophysical simplifications of...- publication PDF
