A comparison study of NO cooling between TIMED/SABER measurements and TIEGCM...
We investigate the latitudinal and longitudinal variations of thermospheric nitric oxide (NO) cooling rate from 2005 to 2016. We compare the maximum of the NO cooling rate and...- publication PDF

Warming pattern over the Northern Hemisphere midlatitudes in boreal summer...
Significant surface air temperature warming during summer 1979-2020 is not uniformly distributed in the northern midlatitudes over land but rather is confined to several...- publication PDF

Revisiting the reanalysis-model discrepancy in Southern Hemisphere winter...
Southern Hemisphere (SH) storminess has increased in the satellite era and recent work suggests comprehensive climate models significantly underestimate the trend. Here, we...- publication PDF

Snow cover duration trends observed at sites and predicted by multiple models
The 30-year simulations of seasonal snow cover in 22 physically based models driven with bias-corrected meteorological reanalyses are examined at four sites with long records of...- publication PDF

Asteroseismic inferences on red giants in open clusters NGC 6791, NGC 6819,...
Four open clusters are present in the Kepler field of view and timeseries of nearly a year in length are now available. These timeseries allow us to derive asteroseismic global...- publication PDF
