Diagnostics for near-surface wind response to the Gulf Stream in a regional...
The mechanisms acting on near-surface winds over the Gulf Stream are diagnosed using 5-year outputs of a regional atmospheric model. The diagnostics for the surface-layer...- publication PDF

Upstream-propagating wave modes in moist and dry flow over topography
Previous studies have observed upstream-propagating modes in two-dimensional numerical simulations of idealized flow over topography with moist, nearly neutral conditions in the...- publication PDF

Ocean viscosity and climate
The impacts of parameterized lateral ocean viscosity on climate are explored using three 120-year integrations of a fully coupled climate model. Reducing viscosity leads to a...- publication PDF

Flare location on the solar disk: Modeling the thermosphere and ionosphere response
Solar flare enhancements to the soft X-ray (XUV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectral irradiance depend on the location of the flare on the solar disk. Most emission lines in...- publication PDF

Dynamic global vegetation models underestimate net CO2 flux mean and...
Despite their sparse vegetation, dryland regions exert a huge influence over global biogeochemical cycles because they cover more than 40% of the world surface (Schimel 2010...- publication PDF
