Characterization of intra-continental smoke transport and impact on New York...
Smoke aerosols emitted by wildfires can ascend to the free troposphere, travel over long distances and descend to affect local air quality (AQ) in downwind areas. This study...- publication PDF

A process‐model perspective on recent changes in the carbon cycle of North America
Continental North America has been found to be a carbon (C) sink over recent decades by multiple studies employing a variety of estimation approaches. However, several key...- publication PDF

Ocean convergence and the dispersion of flotsam
Floating oil, plastics, and marine organisms are continually redistributed by ocean surface currents. Prediction of their resulting distribution on the surface is a fundamental,...- publication PDF

Model support for forcing of the 8.2 ka event by meltwater from the Hudson...
Previous model experiments of the 8.2 ka event forced by the drainage of Lake Agassiz often do not produce climate anomalies as long as those inferred from proxies. In addition...- publication PDF

A new open source implementation of Lagrangian filtering: A method to...
Identifying internal waves in complex flow fields is a long-standing problem in fluid dynamics, oceanography and atmospheric science, owing to the overlap of internal waves...- publication PDF

Improved simulation of midlatitude climate in a new channel model compared...
A midlatitude channel model (MCM), zonally global but meridionally bounded, is constructed for the Northern Hemisphere (0 degrees-360 degrees, 26 degrees N-60 degrees N), based...- publication PDF
