Causal drivers of land‐atmosphere carbon fluxes from machine learning models and data
Interactions among atmospheric, root‐soil, and vegetation processes drive carbon dioxide fluxes ( Fc ) from land to atmosphere. Eddy covariance measurements are commonly...- publication PDF

Sensitivity to the representation of wind for wildfire rate of spread: Case...
Accurate wildfire spread modeling critically depends on the representation of wind dynamics, which vary with terrain, land cover characteristics, and height above ground. Many...- publication PDF

Ocean viscosity and climate
The impacts of parameterized lateral ocean viscosity on climate are explored using three 120-year integrations of a fully coupled climate model. Reducing viscosity leads to a...- publication PDF
