Austral summer foehn winds over the McMurdo dry valleys of Antarctica from Polar WRF
Foehn winds are a prominent feature of the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs) climate, and are responsible for periods of strong winds and warming. The foehn mechanism determined from a...- publication PDF

Volcanic radiative forcing from 1979 to 2015
Using volcanic sulfur dioxide emissions in an aerosol-climate model, we derive a time series of global-mean volcanic effective radiative forcing (ERF) from 1979 to 2015. For...- publication PDF

Memory of irrigation effects on hydroclimate and its modeling challenge
Irrigation modifies land-surface water and energy budgets, and also influences weather and climate. However, current earth-system models, used for weather prediction and climate...- publication PDF

The relative role of the subsurface Southern Ocean in driving negative...
The low Antarctic sea ice extent following its dramatic decline in late 2016 has persisted over a multiyear period. However, it remains unclear to what extent this low sea ice...- publication PDF

New light on an old problem of the cores of solar resonance lines
We reexamine a 50+ yr old problem of deep central reversals predicted for strong solar spectral lines, in contrast to the smaller reversals seen in observations. We examine data...- publication PDF

Oxidation of mercury by bromine in the subtropical Pacific free troposphere
Mercury is a global toxin that can be introduced to ecosystems through atmospheric deposition. Mercury oxidation is thought to occur in the free troposphere by bromine radicals,...- publication PDF
