On discontinuous Galerkin approach for atmospheric flow in the mesoscale...
We present and discuss discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes for dry and moist atmospheric flows in the mesoscale. We derive terrain-following coordinates on the sphere in strong-...- publication PDF

Nature of the mesoscale boundary layer height and water vapor variability...
Mesoscale water vapor heterogeneities in the boundary layer are studied within the context of the International HâO Project (IHOP_2002). A significant portion of the water...- publication PDF

Exploring the potential of statistical modeling to retrieve the cloud base...
Although cloud base height is a relevant variable for many applications, including aviation, it is not routinely monitored by current geostationary satellites. This is probably...- publication PDF

Possible influence of extreme magnetic storms on the thermosphere in the...
Solar and interplanetary events can create extreme magnetic storms, such as the Carrington storm in 1859 with intensity up to Dst similar to -1,760 nT. The influence of an...- publication PDF

Impact of grain shape and multiple black carbon internal mixing on snow...
We quantify the effects of grain shape and multiple black carbon (BC)-snow internal mixing on snow albedo by explicitly resolving shape and mixing structures. Nonspherical snow...- publication PDF

Comparison of local and nonlocal observation operators for the assimilation...
In this study, an Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) is performed to evaluate the performance of a nonlocal excess phase operator and a local refractivity operator...- publication PDF

Energy considerations in the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM)
An error in the energy formulation in the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) is identified and corrected. Ten year AMIP simulations are compared using the correct and incorrect...- publication PDF

Persisting volcanic ash particles impact stratospheric SO2 lifetime and...
Volcanic ash is often neglected in climate simulations because ash particles are assumed to have a short atmospheric lifetime, and to not participate in sulfur chemistry. After...- publication PDF

Multidecadal variability in surface albedo feedback across CMIP5 models
Previous studies quantify surface albedo feedback (SAF) in climate change, but few assess its variability on decadal time scales. Using the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project...- publication PDF

Object-based analysis and verification of WRF model precipitation in the...
An extended version of the Method for Object-based Diagnostic Evaluation (MODE) was used to perform a verification of precipitation provided by the Weather Research and...- publication PDF

Spatial and temporal estimates of population exposure to wildfire smoke...
In the western U.S., smoke from wild and prescribed fires can severely degrade air quality. Due to changes in climate and land management, wildfires have increased in frequency...- publication PDF

Spatial patterns of sea level variability associated with natural internal...
Sea level rise (SLR) can exert significant stress on highly populated coastal societies and low-lying island countries around the world. Because of this, there is huge societal...- publication PDF

The Victoria mode in the North Pacific linking extratropical sea level...
The Victoria mode (VM) represents the second dominant mode (empirical orthogonal function, EOF2) of North Pacific variability, independent of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and...- publication PDF
