Composite structure of tropopause polar cyclones
Tropopause polar vortices are coherent circulation features based on the tropopause in polar regions. They are a common feature of the Arctic, with typical radii less than 1500...- publication PDF

The impact of abrupt suspension of solar radiation management (termination...
We have examined changes in climate which result from the sudden termination of geoengineering after 50 years of offsetting a 1% per annum increase in COâ concentrations by a...- publication PDF

The climate response to stratospheric aerosol geoengineering can be tailored...
By injecting different amounts of SO2 at multiple different latitudes, the spatial pattern of aerosol optical depth (AOD) can be partially controlled. This leads to the ability...- publication PDF

Growth of cloud droplets by turbulent collision--coalescence
An open question in cloud physics is how rain forms in warm cumulus as rapidly as it is sometimes observed. In particular, the growth of cloud droplets across the size gap from...- publication PDF
