Simulation of present day and twenty-first-century energy budgets of the...
The energy budget of the modern-day Southern Hemisphere is poorly simulated in both state-of-the-art reanalyses and coupled global climate models. The ocean-dominated Southern...- publication PDF

Toward reliable ensemble Kalman filter estimates of COâ fluxes
The use of ensemble filters for estimating sources and sinks of carbon dioxide (COâ) is becoming increasingly common, because they provide a relatively computationally...- publication PDF

Decadal variability in the northeast Pacific in a physical-ecosystem model:...
A basin-wide interdecadal change in both the physical state and the ecology of the North Pacific occurred near the end of 1976. Here we use a physical-ecosystem model to examine...- publication PDF
