Interaction of jets and submesoscale dynamics leads to rapid ocean ventilation
Ocean ventilation is the process by which climatically important tracers such as heat and carbon are exchanged between the atmosphere and ocean interior. In this paper a series...- publication PDF

The impact of NOAH-MP physical parameterizations on modeling water...
Texas is subject to severe droughts, including the record-breaking one in 2011. To investigate the critical hydrometeorological processes during drought, we use a land surface...- publication PDF

Seasonal variation of O/N2 on different pressure levels from GUVI limb measurements
The ratio of O number density to N-2 number density (O/N-2) is an important parameter to describe thermospheric composition changes and its effects on the ionosphere. Based on...- publication PDF

Reduced El Niño variability in the mid-Pliocene according to the PlioMIP2 ensemble
The mid-Pliocene warm period (3.264-3.025 Ma) is the most recent geological period during which atmospheric CO2 levels were similar to recent historical values (similar to 400...- publication PDF

Historical and future vegetation changes in the degraded frozen soil and the...
About 99% of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is covered by frozen soils and degradation of frozen soils will certainly impact TP's ecosystems. Here, we investigate decadal changes of...- publication PDF

Influences of changing sea ice and snow thicknesses on simulated Arctic...
In the high-latitude Arctic, wintertime sea ice and snow insulate the relatively warmer ocean from the colder atmosphere. While the climate warms, wintertime Arctic surface heat...- publication PDF

Global river discharge and floods in the warmer climate of the last interglacial
We investigate hydrology during a past climate slightly warmer than the present: the last interglacial (LIG). With daily output of preindustrial and LIG simulations from eight...- publication PDF

An Ensemble approach for the estimation of observational error illustrated...
Least squares algorithms for data assimilation require estimates of both background error covariances and observational error covariances. The specification of these errors is...- publication PDF
