Assessing evidence for weather regimes governing solar power generation in Kuwait
With electricity representing around 20% of the global energy demand, and increasing support for renewable sources of electricity, there is also an escalating need to improve...- publication PDF

Systematic errors in weather and climate models: Nature, origins, and ways forward
Hundreds of scientists involved in the development and evaluation of weather and climate models held an international workshop to discuss the nature and causes of systematic...- publication PDF

Scientific objectives and capabilities of the Coronal Solar Magnetism Observatory
Magnetic influences increase in importance in the solar atmosphere from the photosphere out into the corona, yet our ability to routinely measure magnetic fields in the outer...- publication PDF

Insights into Earth's energy imbalance from multiple sources
The current Earth’s energy imbalance (EEI) can best be estimated from changes in ocean heat content (OHC), complemented by top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiation measurements and an...- publication PDF

The chromosphere: Gateway to the corona?...or the purgatory of solar physics?
I argue that one should attempt to understand the solar chromosphere not only for its own sake, but also if one is interested in the physics of: the corona; astrophysical...- publication PDF

Quadrature-free implementation of a discontinuous Galerkin global...
The discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretization relies on an integral (weak) formulation of the hyperbolic conservation law, which leads to the evaluation of several surface and...- publication PDF

Reference-quality emission and backscatter modeling for the ocean
Sixteen members of an International Space Science Institute team—from America, Asia, and Europe and with backgrounds in radiative transfer modeling, data assimilation, field...- publication PDF

The Southern Hemisphere midlatitude circulation response to rapid...
Rapid adjustments-the response of meteorology to external forcing while sea surface temperatures (SST) and sea ice are held fixed-can affect the midlatitude circulation and...- publication PDF

Mode identification in rapidly rotating stars
Recent calculations of pulsation modes in rapidly rotating polytropic models and models based on the Self-Consistent Field method have shown that the frequency spectrum of low...- publication PDF

High-latitude cooling associated with landscape changes from North American...
Fires in the boreal forests of North America are generally stand-replacing, killing the majority of trees and initiating succession that may last over a century. Functional...- publication PDF

Observations of glyoxal and formaldehyde as metrics for the anthropogenic...
We present simultaneous fast, in-situ measurements of formaldehyde and glyoxal from two rural campaigns, BEARPEX 2009 and BEACHON-ROCS, both located in Pinus Ponderosa forests...- publication PDF

Mass yields of secondary organic aerosols from the oxidation of alpha-pinene...
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a significant source of global secondary organic aerosol (SOA); however, quantifying their aerosol forming potential remains a...- publication PDF

Examining the impacts of great lakes temperature perturbations on simulated...
Most inland water bodies are not resolved by general circulation models, requiring that lake surface temperatures be estimated. Given the large spatial and temporal variability...- publication PDF

Error growth in a whole atmosphere climate model
It has been well established that the atmosphere is chaotic by nature and thus has a finite limit of predictability. The chaotic divergence of initial conditions and the...- publication PDF

A proposed mechanism for asymmetric duration of El Niño and La Niña
El Niño and La Niña exhibit significant asymmetry not only in their spatial structure but also in their duration. Most El Niños terminate rapidly after maturing near the end of...- publication PDF

100 years of progress in applied meteorology
Although atmospheric observing systems were already an important part of meteorology before the American Meteorological Society was established in 1919, the past 100 years have...- publication PDF

The impact of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation on maximum temperature extremes
The impact of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on temperature extremes is examined in both observations and coupled climate model simulations. HadEX2, a newly developed...- publication PDF

Secondary planetary waves in the middle and upper atmosphere following the...
The role of planetary waves in causing stratospheric sudden warmings (SSWs) is well understood and quantified. However, recent studies have indicated that secondary planetary...- publication PDF

Balloon Shapes and Stresses Below the Design Altitude
Design data for natural-shape balloons, published in 1952, have been used to design thousands of balloons. These data, however, describe the balloon only at its float altitude....- publication PDF
