Two Unequal Spheres in Slow Viscous Linear Shear Flow
This report depicts a study intended to determine the influence of air shear on the trajectories of small cloud droplets to predict the conditions under which cloud droplets...- publication PDF

Linking hydraulic traits to tropical forest function in a size-structured...
Forest ecosystem models based on heuristic water stress functions poorly predict tropical forest response to drought partly because they do not capture the diversity of...- publication PDF

Comparison of two land surface schemes in week-long cloud-system-resolving...
This paper presents a case study of the impact of land surface treatment on warm season precipitation simulations at convection-permitting grid resolution. Two surface schemes...- publication PDF

Approximating snow surface temperature from standard temperature and...
Snow surface temperature (Ts) is important to the snowmelt energy balance and land-atmosphere interactions, but in situ measurements are rare, thus limiting evaluation of remote...- publication PDF

Implementation of new diffusion/filtering operators in the CAM-FV dynamical core
Two new filtering/diffusion operators have been implemented in the Community Atmosphere Model finite-volume dynamical core (CAM-FV). First, a fourth-order divergence damping...- publication PDF

Simulating the impact of global reservoir expansion on the present-day climate
Reservoir expansion over the last century has largely affected downstream flow characteristics. Yet very little is known about the impacts of reservoir expansion on the climate....- publication PDF

Mesoscale thermodynamic influences on convection initiation near a surface...
In this study, the authors examine initiation of severe convection along a daytime surface dryline in a 10-member ensemble of convection-permitting simulations. Results indicate...- publication PDF

Observational evidence of moistening the lowermost stratosphere via...
Isentropic mixing across and above the subtropical jet is a significant mechanism for stratosphere–troposphere exchange. In this work, we show new observational evidence on the...- publication PDF

An inversion framework for optimizing non-methane VOC emissions using remote...
We aim to reduce uncertainties in CH2O and other volatile organic carbon (VOC) emissions through assimilation of remote sensing data. We first update a three-dimensional (3D)...- publication PDF

Tropical Pacific SST drivers of recent Antarctic Sea ice trends
A strengthening of the Amundsen Sea low from 1979 to 2013 has been shown to largely explain the observed increase in Antarctic sea ice concentration in the eastern Ross Sea and...- publication PDF
