Spatial hierarchical modeling of precipitation extremes from a regional climate model
The goal of this work is to characterize the extreme precipitation simulated by a regional climate model (RCM) over its spatial domain. For this purpose, we develop a Bayesian...- publication PDF

Persisting volcanic ash particles impact stratospheric SO2 lifetime and...
Volcanic ash is often neglected in climate simulations because ash particles are assumed to have a short atmospheric lifetime, and to not participate in sulfur chemistry. After...- publication PDF

Impacts of subgrid temperature distribution along elevation bands in...
The implementation of elevation bands is a popular strategy to account for topographic heterogeneities in snowpack modeling. Here, we characterize the implications of subgrid...- publication PDF
