Off-equatorial deep-cycle turbulence forced by tropical instability waves in...
The equatorial Pacific cold tongue is a site of large heat absorption by the ocean. This heat uptake is enhanced by a daily cycle of shear turbulence beneath the mixed...- publication PDF

ENSO bimodality and extremes
Tropical sea surface temperature (SST) and winds vary on a wide range of timescales and have a substantial impact on weather and climate across the globe. Here we study the...- publication PDF

Scaling carbon fluxes from eddy covariance sites to globe: Synthesis and...
FLUXNET comprises globally distributed eddycovariance-based estimates of carbon fluxes between the biosphere and the atmosphere. Since eddy covariance flux towers have a...- publication PDF
-
Vertical temperature profiles at maximum entropy production with a net...
Like any fluid heated from below, the atmosphere is subject to vertical instability that triggers convection. Convection occurs on small time and space scales, which makes it a...- publication PDF

Signatures of solar cycle 25 in subsurface zonal flows
The pattern of migrating zonal flow bands associated with the solar cycle, known as the torsional oscillation, has been monitored with continuous global helioseismic...- publication PDF

Commentary on using equivalent latitude in the upper troposphere and lower...
We discuss the use of potential vorticity (PV) based equivalent latitude (EqLat) and potential temperature (θ) coordinates in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS)...- publication PDF
-
A positive zonal wind feedback on sudden stratospheric warming development...
Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are an extreme weather event with impacts on the ionosphere and on tropospheric weather and predictability. The mechanisms governing their...- publication PDF

An explanation for Arecibo plasma line power striations
Measurements of plasma lines by the Arecibo incoherent scatter radar are known to have sharp striations in power, varying with the plasma frequency and magnetic aspect angle of...- publication PDF
