Causes of extreme ridges that induce California droughts
California droughts are often caused by high-amplitude and persistent ridges near and off the west coast of North America without apparent connections with ENSO. Here with a...- publication PDF

A likely outcome of the sunspot peaks' influence on the North Atlantic...
The effect on the North Atlantic Oscillation of 15 sunspot peaks depends on whether the Oscillation is in-phase or out-of-phase with the sunspot peaks. When it is in-phase the...- publication PDF
