Analysis of thundersnow storms over northern Colorado
Lightning flashes during snowstorms occur infrequently compared to warm-season convection. The rarity of such thundersnow events poses an additional hazard because the lightning...- publication PDF

Field topologies in ideal and near-ideal magnetohydrodynamics and vortex dynamics
Magnetic field topology frozen in ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and its breakage in near-ideal MHD are reviewed in two parts, clarifying and expanding basic concepts. The...- publication PDF

Flow regimes over a basin induced by upstream katabatic flow--an idealized...
Idealized two-dimensional model simulations are performed to study the frequent nocturnal occurrence of downslope-windstorm-type flows in Arizona's Meteor Crater. The model...- publication PDF

An extremeness threshold determines the regional response of floods to...
Precipitation extremes will increase in a warming climate, but the response of flood magnitudes to heavier precipitation events is less clear. Historically, there is little...- publication PDF

Ultrafast Kelvin wave variations in the surface magnetic field
A suite of general circulation models is used to investigate the surface magnetic perturbations due to the ionospheric currents driven by an eastward-propagating ultrafast...- publication PDF

Warming-induced contrasts in snow depth drive the future trajectory of soil...
The Arctic-Boreal region is projected to experience spatially divergent trends in snow depth following climate change. However, the impact of these spatial trends has remained...- publication PDF

An upper-branch Brewer-Dobson circulation index for attribution of...
We find that wintertime temperature anomalies near 4 hPa and 50 degrees N/S are related, through dynamics, to anomalies in ozone and temperature, particularly in the tropical...- publication PDF
