An extremeness threshold determines the regional response of floods to...
Precipitation extremes will increase in a warming climate, but the response of flood magnitudes to heavier precipitation events is less clear. Historically, there is little...- publication PDF

Influence of the North Pacific Victoria mode on the Pacific ITCZ summer precipitation
This study demonstrates the close connection between the second dominant mode of spring sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in the North Pacific poleward of 20°N, referred...- publication PDF

The impact of climate change on ocean submesoscale activity
Global warming may modify submesoscale activity in the ocean through changes in the mixed layer depth (MLD) and lateral buoyancy gradients. As a case study we consider a region...- publication PDF

Mass loss, destruction and detection of sun-grazing and -impacting cometary nuclei
Context. Sun-grazing comets almost never re-emerge, but their sublimative destruction near the sun has only recently been observed directly, while chromospheric impacts have not...- publication PDF

Detection of high-altitude ionospheric irregularities with GPS/MET
In this study radio occultation data from the GPS/MET experiment are used for detection of high-altitude ionospheric irregularities. This is done by back propagation of the...- publication PDF

Importance of secondary sources in the atmospheric budgets of formic and acetic acids
We present a detailed budget of formic and acetic acids, two of the most abundant trace gases in the atmosphere. Our bottom-up estimate of the global source of formic and acetic...- publication PDF

Was the 2015 North Atlantic subpolar cold anomaly predictable?
The subpolar North Atlantic (SPNA) experienced extreme cold during 2015, an event often called the "cold blob." The evolution of this event in the Community Earth System Model...- publication PDF
