Sensitivity of top-down CO source estimates to the modeled vertical...
We assessed the sensitivity of regional CO source estimates to the modeled vertical CO distribution by assimilating multi-spectral MOPITT (Measurements of Pollution In The...- publication PDF

Some counterintuitive dependencies of tropical cyclone frequency on...
High-resolution global climate models (GCMs) have been increasingly utilized for simulations of the global number and distribution of tropical cyclones (TCs), and how they might...- publication PDF

The fall speed variability of similarly sized ice particle aggregates
The terminal velocity (Vt) of ice hydrometeors is of high importance to atmospheric modeling. Vt is governed by the physical characteristics of a hydrometeor, including mass and...- publication PDF

Effects of increasing the category resolution of the sea ice thickness...
Many modern sea ice models used in global climate models represent the subgrid-scale heterogeneity in sea ice thickness with an ice thickness distribution (ITD), which improves...- publication PDF

Evaluating a new deposition velocity module in the Noah land surface model
The community Noah land-surface model (Noah LSM) has been modified to couple with a photosynthesis-transpiration scheme (GEM) to estimate the deposition velocity (V d) for air...- publication PDF

Incorporating organic soil into a global climate model
Organic matter significantly alters a soil's thermal and hydraulic properties but is not typically included in land-surface schemes used in global climate models. This omission...- publication PDF

Accelerating 'fields' by revamping the Cholesky Decomposition
The Geophysical Statistics project group within the Institute for Mathematics Applied to Geosciences (IMAGe) has been making use of Matrix Algebra on GPU and Multicore...- publication PDF

Contributions of external forcings to Southern Annular Mode trends
An observed trend in the Southern Hemisphere annular mode (SAM) during recent decades has involved an intensification of the polar vortex. The source of this trend is a matter...- publication PDF

Upscale versus "up-amplitude" growth of forecast-error spectra
Atmospheric predictability is measured by the average difference (or "error") within an ensemble of forecasts starting from slightly different initial conditions. The spatial...- publication PDF

Biogeophysical effects of land-use and land-cover change not detectable in...
Land-use and land-cover changes (hereafter simply "land use") alter climates biogeophysically by affecting surface fluxes of energy and water. Yet, near-surface temperature...- publication PDF

Dynamical effects of aerosol perturbations on simulated idealized squall lines
The dynamical effects of increased aerosol loading on the strength and structure of numerically simulated squall lines are explored. Results are explained in the context of...- publication PDF

Spatial patterns of probabilistic temperature change projections from a...
We present probabilistic projections for spatial patterns of future temperature change using a multivariate Bayesian analysis. The methodology is applied to the output from 21...- publication PDF

Nonparametric methodology to estimate precipitating ice from...
In this study, a nonparametric method to estimate precipitating ice from multiple-frequency radar observations is investigated. The method does not require any assumptions...- publication PDF

ENSO-driven variability of denitrification and suboxia in the Eastern...
The Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) hosts two of the world's three Oxygen Deficient Zones (ODZs), large bodies of suboxic water that are subject to high rates of water column...- publication PDF

Upward transport into and within the Asian monsoon anticyclone as inferred...
Every year during the Asian summer monsoon season from about mid-June to early September, a stable anticyclonic circulation system forms over the Himalayas. This Asian summer...- publication PDF

Simulations of electron energization and injection by BBFs using...
We study electron injection and energization by bursty bulk flows (BBFs), by tracing electron trajectories using magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) field output from the Lyon-Fedder-...- publication PDF

Instability and breakdown of a vertical vortex pair in a strongly stratified fluid
The dynamics of a counter-rotating pair of columnar vortices aligned parallel to a stable density gradient are investigated. By means of numerical simulation, we extend the...- publication PDF
