Climate warming, water storage, and Chinook salmon in California's Sacramento Valley
The Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) spawns and rears in the cold, freshwater rivers and tributaries of California's Central Valley, with four separate seasonal runs...- publication PDF

Quantifying the vertical transport of CHBr3 and CH2Br2 over the western Pacific
We use the GEOS-Chem global 3-D atmospheric chemistry transport model to interpret atmospheric observations of bromoform (CHBr3) and dibromomethane (CH2Br2) collected during the...- publication PDF

Predictability of tropical cyclone intensity: scale-dependent forecast error...
A systematic study of the intrinsic predictability of tropical cyclone (TC) intensity is conducted using a set of cloud-resolving model ensembles of Hurricane Earl (2010). The...- publication PDF

On transient climate change at the CretaceousâPaleogene boundary due to...
Climate simulations that consider injection into the atmosphere of 15,000 Tg of soot, the amount estimated to be present at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, produce what might...- publication PDF

North American regional reanalysis
In 1997, during the late stages of production of NCEP-NCAR Global Reanalysis (GR), exploration of a regional reanalysis project was suggested by the GR project's Advisory...- publication PDF

Response of the intertropical convergence zone to climate change: Location,...
The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is a planetary-scale band of heavy precipitation close to the equator. Here, we consider the response of the ITCZ structure to climate...- publication PDF

Evaluation of the mesospheric polar vortices in WACCM
This work evaluates the wintertime mesospheric polar vortices in the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model. Mesospheric altitudes are where high-top models underestimate the...- publication PDF

Quantifying black carbon deposition over the Greenland ice sheet from forest...
Black carbon (BC) concentrations observed in 22 snowpits sampled in the northwest sector of the Greenland ice sheet in April 2014 have allowed us to identify a strong and...- publication PDF
