A class of deformational flow test cases for linear transport problems on the sphere
A class of new benchmark deformational flow test cases for the two-dimensional horizontal linear transport problems on the sphere is proposed. The scalar field follows complex...- publication PDF

Attribution of the late-twentieth-century rainfall decline in southwest Australia
There was a dramatic decrease in rainfall in the southwest of Australia (SWA) in the mid-1960s. A statistical method, based on the idea of analogous synoptic situations, is used...- publication PDF

A machine learning examination of hydroxyl radical differences among model...
The hydroxyl radical (OH) plays critical roles within the troposphere, such as determining the lifetime of methane (CH4), yet is challenging to model due to its fast cycling and...- publication PDF

A non-Gaussian analysis scheme using rank histograms for ensemble data assimilation
One challenge of geophysical data assimilation is to address the issue of non-Gaussianities in the distributions of the physical variables ensuing, in many cases, from nonlinear...- publication PDF

The expanding footprint of rapid Arctic change
Arctic land ice is melting, sea ice is decreasing, and permafrost is thawing. Changes in these Arctic elements are interconnected, and most interactions accelerate the rate of...- publication PDF

Campanian Ignimbrite volcanism, climate, and the final decline of the Neanderthals
The eruption of the Campanian Ignimbrite at ca. 40 ka coincided with the final decline of Neanderthals in Europe. Environmental stress associated with the eruption of the...- publication PDF
