Quantifying the importance of rapid adjustments for global precipitation changes
Different climate drivers influence precipitation in different ways. Here we use radiative kernels to understand the influence of rapid adjustment processes on precipitation in...- publication PDF

Simulated high-latitude soil thermal dynamics during the past 4 decades
Soil temperature (Ts) change is a key indicator of the dynamics of permafrost. On seasonal and interannual timescales, the variability of Ts determines the active-layer depth,...- publication PDF

Numerical Forecasting of Winds in the Terminal Environment
This report describes a method for forecasting low-level winds in the Terminal Environment in the 30 to 60 minute timeframe. Tests are performed using data from Lincoln Labs'...- publication PDF

Role of tropical variability in driving decadal shifts in the southern...
The Southern Hemisphere summertime eddy-driven jet and storm tracks have shifted poleward over the recent few decades. In previous studies, explanations have mainly stressed the...- publication PDF

How emissions, climate, and land use change will impact mid-century air...
We use a global coupled chemistry-climate-land model (CESM) to assess the integrated effect of climate, emissions and land use changes on annual surface O₃ and PM2.5 in the...- publication PDF

An idealized test of the response of the Community Atmosphere Model to...
A set of idealized experiments are developed using the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) to understand the vertical velocity response to reductions in forcing scale that is known...- publication PDF

Understanding the limitations of gyrochronology for old field stars
Nearly half a century has passed since the initial indications that stellar rotation slows while chromospheric activity weakens with a power-law dependence on age, the so-called...- publication PDF

Assessment of uncertainty sources in snow cover simulation in the Tibetan Plateau
Snow cover over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) plays an important role in Asian climate. State-of-the-art models, however, show significant simulation biases. In this study, we assess...- publication PDF

Is the detection of accelerated sea level rise imminent?
Global mean sea level rise estimated from satellite altimetry provides a strong constraint on climate variability and change and is expected to accelerate as the rates of both...- publication PDF

Application of MJO simulation diagnostics to climate models
The ability of eight climate models to simulate the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) is examined using diagnostics developed by the U.S. Climate Variability and Predictability...- publication PDF

Understanding the global variability in thermospheric nitric oxide flux...
We present the first-ever global assessment of thermospheric nitric oxide infrared radiative flux (NOF) variability. NOF (W/m(2)) from 100-to 250-km altitude is extracted from...- publication PDF

The role of solar wind density in cross polar cap potential saturation under...
The role of solar wind density in the cross polar cap potential (CPCP) response under northward interplanetary magnetic field is investigated with observation-based global...- publication PDF

Spreading speed of magnetopause reconnection x-lines using ground-satellite...
Conceptual and numerical models predict that magnetic reconnection starts at a localized region and then spreads out of the reconnection plane. At the Earth's magnetopause this...- publication PDF

Propagation delays induced in GPS signals by dry air, water vapor,...
Dry air, water vapor, hydrometeors, and other particulates (sand, dust, aerosols, and volcanic ash) in the atmosphere introduce microwave propagation delays. These delays must...- publication PDF
