Trends and solar irradiance effects in the mesosphere
We investigate trends and solar irradiance effects in the mesosphere using the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model with eXtended thermosphere and ionosphere (WACCM-X) and...- publication PDF

Response of tropical deep convection to localized heating perturbations:...
A cloud-system-resolving model is used to investigate the effects of localized heating/cooling perturbations on tropical deep convection, in the context of the aerosol...- publication PDF

Development of a large-sample watershed-scale hydrometeorological data set...
We present a community data set of daily forcing and hydrologic response data for 671 small- to medium-sized basins across the contiguous United States (median basin size of 336...- publication PDF

Improved modeling of cloudy-sky actinic flux using satellite cloud retrievals
Clouds play a critical role in modulating tropospheric radiation and thus photochemistry. We develop a methodology for calculating the vertical distribution of tropospheric...- publication PDF

Spatial and temporal variation in CO over Alberta using measurements from...
Alberta is Canada's largest oil producer, and its oil sands deposits comprise 30% of the world's oil reserves. The process of bitumen extraction and upgrading releases trace...- publication PDF

Thermospheric nitric oxide response to shock-led storms
We present a multiyear superposed epoch study of the Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry nitric oxide (NO) emission data. NO is a trace constituent in...- publication PDF

Uncertainty in land carbon budget simulated by terrestrial biosphere models:...
Global estimates of the land carbon sink are often based on simulations by terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs). The use of a large number of models that differ in their...- publication PDF

Trends in emissions and concentrations of air pollutants in the lower...
Trends in the composition of the lower atmosphere (0-1500m altitude) and surface air quality over the Baltimore/Washington area and surrounding states were investigated for the...- publication PDF

The Annual Cycle Part II: The Annual Variation of Precipitation Over the...
The is the companion study to NCAR/TN-242 + STR on the annual precipitation cycle using daily precipitation data. Unlike the annual temperature cycle where a priority was known...- publication PDF

The effect of entrainment through atmospheric boundary layer growth on...
Ozone concentrations at the Earth's surface are controlled by meteorological and chemical processes and are a function of advection, entrainment, deposition, and net chemical...- publication PDF

Shower thoughts: why scientists should spend more time in the rain
Stormwater is a vital resource and dynamic driver of terrestrial ecosystem processes. However, processes controlling interactions during and shortly after storms are often...- publication PDF

What controls stratospheric water vapor in the NH summer monsoon regions?
Water vapor in the lower stratosphere exhibits localized maximum values during Northern Hemisphere summer in the Asian and North American (NA) monsoon regions. The processes...- publication PDF

A vector-based river routing model for earth system models: Parallelization...
A vector-river network explicitly uses realistic geometries of river reaches and catchments for spatial discretization in a river model. This enables improving the accuracy of...- publication PDF

Role of the atmospheric mean state on the initiation of the Madden-Julian...
Tropical channel models, defined as models that are global in the zonal direction but bounded in the meridional direction, are particularly useful for simulating the Madden-...- publication PDF
-
Vertical structure and physical processes of the Madden-Julian oscillation:...
Many theories for the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) focus on diabatic processes, particularly the evolution of vertical heating and moistening. Poor MJO performance in weather...- publication PDF

Forced and internal variability of tropical cyclone track density in the...
Forced interannual-to-decadal variability of annual tropical cyclone (TC) track density in the western North Pacific between 1979 and 2008 is studied using TC tracks from...- publication PDF
