Generalization of runoff risk prediction at field scales to a...
As surface water resources in the U.S. continue to be pressured by excess nutrients carried by agricultural runoff, the need to assess runoff risk at the field scale continues...- publication PDF

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
