Scaling carbon fluxes from eddy covariance sites to globe: Synthesis and...
FLUXNET comprises globally distributed eddycovariance-based estimates of carbon fluxes between the biosphere and the atmosphere. Since eddy covariance flux towers have a...- publication PDF
-
Vertical temperature profiles at maximum entropy production with a net...
Like any fluid heated from below, the atmosphere is subject to vertical instability that triggers convection. Convection occurs on small time and space scales, which makes it a...- publication PDF

Signatures of solar cycle 25 in subsurface zonal flows
The pattern of migrating zonal flow bands associated with the solar cycle, known as the torsional oscillation, has been monitored with continuous global helioseismic...- publication PDF

Commentary on using equivalent latitude in the upper troposphere and lower...
We discuss the use of potential vorticity (PV) based equivalent latitude (EqLat) and potential temperature (θ) coordinates in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS)...- publication PDF

A positive zonal wind feedback on sudden stratospheric warming development...
Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are an extreme weather event with impacts on the ionosphere and on tropospheric weather and predictability. The mechanisms governing their...- publication PDF

An explanation for Arecibo plasma line power striations
Measurements of plasma lines by the Arecibo incoherent scatter radar are known to have sharp striations in power, varying with the plasma frequency and magnetic aspect angle of...- publication PDF

Chemical and dynamical discontinuity at the extratropical tropopause based...
Using isentropic trace gas gradients of O3 and CO, the discontinuity in the chemical composition of the upper troposphere (UT) and lower stratosphere (LS) is examined on middle...- publication PDF

Relative increase of record high maximum temperatures compared to record low...
The current observed value of the ratio of daily record high maximum temperatures to record low minimum temperatures averaged across the U.S. is about two to one. This is...- publication PDF

Multivariate minimum residual method for cloud retrieval. Part II: Real...
In Part I of this two-part paper, the multivariate minimum residual (MMR) scheme was introduced to retrieve profiles of cloud fraction from satellite infrared radiances and...- publication PDF
