A proposed mechanism for asymmetric duration of El Niño and La Niña
El Niño and La Niña exhibit significant asymmetry not only in their spatial structure but also in their duration. Most El Niños terminate rapidly after maturing near the end of...- publication PDF

100 years of progress in applied meteorology
Although atmospheric observing systems were already an important part of meteorology before the American Meteorological Society was established in 1919, the past 100 years have...- publication PDF

The impact of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation on maximum temperature extremes
The impact of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on temperature extremes is examined in both observations and coupled climate model simulations. HadEX2, a newly developed...- publication PDF

Secondary planetary waves in the middle and upper atmosphere following the...
The role of planetary waves in causing stratospheric sudden warmings (SSWs) is well understood and quantified. However, recent studies have indicated that secondary planetary...- publication PDF

Balloon Shapes and Stresses Below the Design Altitude
Design data for natural-shape balloons, published in 1952, have been used to design thousands of balloons. These data, however, describe the balloon only at its float altitude....- publication PDF

The impact of wind corrections and ocean-current influence on wind stress...
Bias correction of reanalysis-based wind stress using scatterometer derived equivalent neutral wind has been a common practice in producing the forcing datasets used in recent...- publication PDF

Development of the storm‐induced ionospheric irregularities at equatorial...
Can geomagnetic storms during low solar activity trigger formation of extreme equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) that affect low and midlatitudes? We analyzed the ionospheric...- publication PDF

Assessing the ensemble spread-error relationship
The potential ability of an ensemble prediction system (EPS) to represent its own varying forecast error provides strong motivation to produce an EPS over a less expensive...- publication PDF

Measurements of atmospheric mercury in Shanghai during September 2009
We report on total gaseous mercury (TGM) measurements made in Pudong, Shanghai in August/September 2009. The average TGM was 2.7 ± 1.7 ng m⁻³. This represents about 90% of the...- publication PDF
