The Secondary Production of Ice in Cumulus Experiment (SPICULE)
The secondary ice process (SIP) is a major microphysical process, which can result in rapid enhancement of ice particle concentration in the presence of preexisting ice. SPICULE...- publication PDF

Sixteen years of MOPITT satellite data strongly constrain Amazon COÂ fire emissions
Despite the consensus on the overall downward trend in Amazon forest loss in the previous decade, estimates of yearly carbon emissions from deforestation still vary widely....- publication PDF

Modes of variability in E3SM and CESM Large Ensembles
An adequate characterization of internal modes of climate variability (MoV) is a prerequisite for both accurate seasonal predictions and climate change detection and...- publication PDF

A multivariate global spatiotemporal stochastic generator for climate ensembles
In order to understand and quantify the uncertainties in projections and physics of a climate model, a collection of climate simulations (an ensemble) is typically used. Given...- publication PDF

Distant effects of a recurving tropical cyclone on rainfall in a midlatitude...
Recent research has identified predecessor rain events (PREs), which are mesoscale regions of heavy rainfall that occur 1000 km poleward and downshear of recurving tropical...- publication PDF

New empirical formulation for the sublimational breakup of graupel and dendritic snow
Ice fragments are generated by sublimation of ice particles in subsaturated conditions in natural clouds. Conceivably, such sublimational breakup would be expected to cause ice...- publication PDF

On the large wind shear and fast meridional transport above the mesopause
Unexpectedly strong winds/shears and fast meridional transport above the mesopause have been revealed from previous rocket and satellite observations. Using Richardson number...- publication PDF

Thermal vortex ring: Vortex-dynamics analysis of a high-resolution simulation
A high-resolution simulation of a thermal vortex ring is analysed from the point of view of the vortex dynamics. A power-spectrum analysis of vortex-ring sections suggests that...- publication PDF

A hypothesis for the intensification of tropical cyclones under moderate...
A major open issue in tropical meteorology is how and why some tropical cyclones intensify under moderate vertical wind shear. This study tackles that issue by diagnosing...- publication PDF
