The changing shape of Northern Hemisphere summer temperature distributions
The occurrence of recent summer temperature extremes in the midlatitudes has raised questions about whether and how the distributions of summer temperature are changing. While...- publication PDF

A comprehensive framework for tourism and recreation drought vulnerability reduction
The effects of drought are vast, but loss statistics often do not reflect the impacts on the tourism and recreation sector, which for many places is one of the most critical...- publication PDF

Land processes can substantially impact the mean climate state
Terrestrial processes influence the atmosphere by controlling land‐to‐atmosphere fluxes of energy, water, and carbon. Prior research has demonstrated that parameter...- publication PDF

Influence of convection and aerosol pollution on ice cloud particle effective radius
Satellite observations show that ice cloud effective radius (re) increases with ice water content (IWC) but decreases with aerosol optical thickness (AOT). Using least-squares...- publication PDF
