A link between the hiatus in global warming and North American drought
Portions of western North America have experienced prolonged drought over the last decade. This drought has occurred at the same time as the global warming hiatus—a decadal...- publication PDF

Using sonic anemometer temperature to measure sensible heat flux in strong winds
Sonic anemometers simultaneously measure the turbulent fluctuations of vertical wind (w') and sonic temperature (Ts'), and are commonly used to measure sensible heat flux (H)....- publication PDF
