Impact of mixing and chemical change on ozone-tracer relations in the polar vortex
Tracer-tracer relations have been used for a long time to separate physico-chemical change from change caused by transport processes. In particular, for more than a decade,...- publication PDF

Two-layer stratified flow past a valley
Observations and models of nocturnal katabatic winds indicate strong low-level stability with much weaker stability aloft. When such winds encounter an embedded depression in an...- publication PDF

Understanding AMOC stability: The North Atlantic Hosing Model Intercomparison Project
The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is an important part of our climate system. The AMOC is predicted to weaken under climate change; however, theories...- publication PDF
