Improving regional climate simulations based on a hybrid data assimilation...
The energy and water vapor exchange between the land surface and atmospheric boundary layer plays a critical role in regional climate simulations. This paper implemented a...- publication PDF

Mycorrhizal Distributions Impact Global Patterns of Carbon and Nutrient Cycling
Most tree species predominantly associate with a single type of mycorrhizal fungi, which can differentially affect plant nutrient acquisition and biogeochemical cycling....- publication PDF

Diagnostics of polar field reversal in solar cycle 23 using a Flux Transport...
Motivated by observed anomalous features in cycle 23, as inferred from records of photospheric magnetic flux, we develop a flux transport dynamo-based scheme in order to...- publication PDF

Quantifying the imprints of stratospheric contributions to interhemispheric...
For trace gases destroyed in the stratosphere, mass flux across the tropopause can substantially influence observed surface hemispheric differences (NH-SH). Here, we quantify...- publication PDF

Model estimations of geophysical variability between satellite measurements...
In order to validate satellite measurements of atmospheric composition, it is necessary to understand the range of random and systematic uncertainties inherent in the...- publication PDF

Scientific objectives and capabilities of the Coronal Solar Magnetism Observatory
Magnetic influences increase in importance in the solar atmosphere from the photosphere out into the corona, yet our ability to routinely measure magnetic fields in the outer...- publication PDF

Insights into Earth's energy imbalance from multiple sources
The current Earth’s energy imbalance (EEI) can best be estimated from changes in ocean heat content (OHC), complemented by top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiation measurements and an...- publication PDF

The chromosphere: Gateway to the corona?...or the purgatory of solar physics?
I argue that one should attempt to understand the solar chromosphere not only for its own sake, but also if one is interested in the physics of: the corona; astrophysical...- publication PDF

Quadrature-free implementation of a discontinuous Galerkin global...
The discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretization relies on an integral (weak) formulation of the hyperbolic conservation law, which leads to the evaluation of several surface and...- publication PDF

The Southern Hemisphere midlatitude circulation response to rapid...
Rapid adjustments-the response of meteorology to external forcing while sea surface temperatures (SST) and sea ice are held fixed-can affect the midlatitude circulation and...- publication PDF

Mode identification in rapidly rotating stars
Recent calculations of pulsation modes in rapidly rotating polytropic models and models based on the Self-Consistent Field method have shown that the frequency spectrum of low...- publication PDF

High-latitude cooling associated with landscape changes from North American...
Fires in the boreal forests of North America are generally stand-replacing, killing the majority of trees and initiating succession that may last over a century. Functional...- publication PDF

Observations of glyoxal and formaldehyde as metrics for the anthropogenic...
We present simultaneous fast, in-situ measurements of formaldehyde and glyoxal from two rural campaigns, BEARPEX 2009 and BEACHON-ROCS, both located in Pinus Ponderosa forests...- publication PDF

Mass yields of secondary organic aerosols from the oxidation of alpha-pinene...
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a significant source of global secondary organic aerosol (SOA); however, quantifying their aerosol forming potential remains a...- publication PDF

Examining the impacts of great lakes temperature perturbations on simulated...
Most inland water bodies are not resolved by general circulation models, requiring that lake surface temperatures be estimated. Given the large spatial and temporal variability...- publication PDF

Error growth in a whole atmosphere climate model
It has been well established that the atmosphere is chaotic by nature and thus has a finite limit of predictability. The chaotic divergence of initial conditions and the...- publication PDF
