Anthropogenic influence on the drivers of the Western Cape drought 2015â2017
In the period 2015-2017, the Western Cape region has suffered from three consecutive years of below average rainfall-leading to a prolonged drought and acute water shortages,...- publication PDF

Diagnosis of middle-atmosphere climate sensitivity by the climate...
The authors present a new method to diagnose the middle-atmosphere climate sensitivity by extending the climate feedbackâresponse analysis method (CFRAM) for the coupled...- publication PDF

Vulnerability beyond stereotypes: Context and agency in hurricane risk communication
Risk communication may accentuate or alleviate the vulnerability of people who have particular difficulties responding to the threat of hazards such as hurricanes. The process...- publication PDF

The common occurrence of highly supercooled drizzle and rain near the...
Highly supercooled rain and drizzle from cloud tops at -12 to -21°C down to the 0° isotherm was documented by aircraft observations in clouds over a wide range of...- publication PDF

Clean and polluted clouds: Relationships among pollution, ice clouds, and...
We analyze nearly-simultaneous measurements of ice clouds and pollutants along satellite tracks. We use Aura MLS CO and ice water content measurements at 215 hPa to classify ice...- publication PDF

Impact of Advection Schemes on Tracer Interrelationships in Large-Eddy...
This study investigates the preservation of tracer interrelationships during advection in large-eddy simulations of an idealized deep convective cloud, which is particularly...- publication PDF

Seasonal predictability of baroclinic wave activity
Midlatitude baroclinic waves drive extratropical weather and climate variations, but their predictability beyond 2 weeks has been deemed low. Here we analyze a large ensemble of...- publication PDF

Contrasting urban and rural heat stress responses to climate change
Hot temperatures in combination with high humidity cause human discomfort and may increase morbidity and mortality. A global climate model with an embedded urban model is used...- publication PDF

Hydrometeor lofting and mesoscale snowbands
Environments that accompany mesoscale snowbands in extratropical cyclones feature strong midlevel frontogenesis and weak symmetric stability, conditions conducive to vigorous...- publication PDF

Distinct surface response to black carbon aerosols
For the radiative impact of individual climate forcings, most previous studies focused on the global mean values at the top of the atmosphere (TOA), and less attention has been...- publication PDF

Comparison of eddy dissipation rate estimated from operational radiosonde...
The one-third power of the energy dissipation rate (EDR), a primary aviation turbulence metric, is calculated using high vertical-resolution radiosonde data (HVRRD) and compared...- publication PDF
