Using transport diagnostics to understand chemistry climate model ozone simulations
We use observations of N₂O and mean age to identify realistic transport in models in order to explain their ozone predictions. The results are applied to 15 chemistry climate...- publication PDF

Diagnosing present and future permafrost from climate models
Permafrost is a characteristic aspect of the terrestrial Arctic and the fate of near-surface permafrost over the next century is likely to exert strong controls on Arctic...- publication PDF

Peak refreezing in the Greenland firn layer under future warming scenarios
Firn (compressed snow) covers approximately 90% of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) and currently retains about half of rain and meltwater through refreezing, reducing runoff and...- publication PDF

Integrating anthropogenic heat flux with global climate models
Nearly all energy used for human purposes is dissipated as heat within Earth's land-atmosphere system. Thermal energy released from non-renewable sources is therefore a climate...- publication PDF

An atmospheric constraint on the seasonal air‐sea exchange of oxygen and...
The air-sea exchange of oxygen (O-2) is driven by changes in solubility, biological activity, and circulation. The total air-sea exchange of O-2 has been shown to be closely...- publication PDF
