Evaluation of the mesospheric polar vortices in WACCM
This work evaluates the wintertime mesospheric polar vortices in the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model. Mesospheric altitudes are where high-top models underestimate the...- publication PDF

Can we do better than the grid survey: Optimal synoptic surveys in presence...
Regular grid (“lawnmower”) survey is a classical strategy for synoptic sampling of the ocean. Is it possible to achieve a more effective use of available resources if one takes...- publication PDF

Quasi-idealized numerical simulations of processes involved in orogenic...
The Sierras de Cordoba (SDC) range in Argentina is a hotspot of deep moist convection initiation (CI). Radar climatology indicates that 44% of daytime CI events that occur near...- publication PDF

Global dynamics of the MLT
The transition between the middle atmosphere and the thermosphere is known as the MLT region (for mesosphere and lower thermosphere). This area has some character- istics that...- publication PDF

Importance of tree- and species-level interactions with wildfire, climate,...
The boreal zone of Alaska is dominated by interactions between disturbances, vegetation, and soils. These interactions are likely to change in the future through increasing...- publication PDF

Mitigating the impacts of climate nonstationarity on seasonal streamflow...
Seasonal streamflow predictions provide a critical management tool for water managers in the American Southwest. In recent decades, persistent prediction errors for spring and...- publication PDF

How often does it really rain?
The perception about whether a place is a nice place to live often depends on how often it rains (or snows). The frequency relates to how dreary the weather appears, and it is...- publication PDF

Solar spectral lines with special polarization properties for the...
We investigate atomic transitions that have previously been identified as having zero polarization from the Zeeman effect. Our goal is to identify spectral lines that can be...- publication PDF
