Permafrost carbon-climate feedback is sensitive to deep soil carbon...
Permafrost soils contain enormous amounts of organic carbon whose stability is contingent on remaining frozen. With future warming, these soils may release carbon to the...- publication PDF

Hillslope hydrology in global change research and Earth System Modeling
Earth System Models (ESMs) are essential tools for understanding and predicting global change, but they cannot explicitly resolve hillslope-scale terrain structures that...- publication PDF

Intercomparison between surrogate, explicit, and full treatments of VSL...
Many Chemistry-Climate Models (CCMs) include a simplified treatment of brominated very short-lived (VSLBr) species by assuming CH3Br as a surrogate for VSLBr. However,...- publication PDF

Thermodynamic environments of deep convection in Atlantic tropical disturbances
Conditional composites of dropsondes deployed into eight tropical Atlantic weather systems during 2010 are analyzed. The samples are conditioned based on cloud-top temperature...- publication PDF

Detection and attribution of anthropogenic forcing to diurnal temperature...
Observations show that the surface diurnal temperature range (DTR) has decreased since 1950s over most global land areas due to a smaller warming in maximum temperatures (T max)...- publication PDF
