The influence of shear on deep convection initiation. Part I: Theory
This article introduces a novel hypothesis for the role of vertical wind shear ("shear") in deep convection initiation (DCI). In this hypothesis, initial moist updrafts that...- publication PDF

Seasonal and hemispheric variations of the total auroral precipitation...
The auroral hemispheric power (HP) has been calculated from the averaged energy flux derived from Far-ultraviolet emission observations made by the global ultraviolet imager...- publication PDF

Application of theory to simulations of observed cases of orographically...
In two recent papers, the authors reported on numerical simulations of conditionally unstable flows past an idealized mesoscale mountain ridge. These idealized simulations,...- publication PDF

Australian fire emissions of carbon monoxide estimated by global biomass...
Australian fires are a primary driver of variability in Australian atmospheric composition and contribute significantly to regional and global carbon budgets. However, biomass...- publication PDF

Mechanisms of intense alpine rainfall
Numerical studies by the authors and others of the 1994 Piedmont flood show that the orographically modified flow was a critical element for the production of extraordinary...- publication PDF

"Certain uncertainty": The role of internal climate variability in...
Internal climate variability co-exists with anthropogenic climate change and places limits on the accuracy of regional climate projections due to its inherent unpredictability....- publication PDF

False alarms and close calls: A conceptual model of warning accuracy
The false alarm rate ( FAR) measures the fraction of forecasted events that did not occur, and it remains one of the key metrics for verifying National Weather Service (NWS)...- publication PDF

A numerical implementation of Fokas boundary integral approach: Laplace's...
A recently discovered transform approach allows a large class of PDEs to be solved in terms of boundary and/or contour integrals. We introduce here a spectrally accurate...- publication PDF

Arctic sea ice sensitivity to lateral melting representation in a coupled...
The melting of sea ice floes from the edges (lateral melting) results in open-water formation and subsequently increases absorption of solar shortwave energy. However, lateral...- publication PDF

Growing degree-day measurement of cyst germination rates in the toxic...
Blooms of many dinoflagellates, including several harmful algal bloom (HAB) species, are seeded and revived through the germination of benthic resting cysts. Temperature is a...- publication PDF

Seasonal predictability of baroclinic wave activity
Midlatitude baroclinic waves drive extratropical weather and climate variations, but their predictability beyond 2 weeks has been deemed low. Here we analyze a large ensemble of...- publication PDF
