How predictable is the timing of a summer ice-free Arctic?
Climate model simulations give a large range of over 100 years for predictions of when the Arctic could first become ice free in the summer, and many studies have attempted to...- publication PDF

A comprehensive evaluation of seasonal simulations of ozone in the...
Regional air quality simulations were conducted for summers 2001–2005 in the eastern US and subjected to extensive evaluation using various ground and airborne measurements. A...- publication PDF
