An assessment of reprocessed GPS/MET observations spanning 1995â1997
We have performed an analysis of reprocessed GPS/MET data spanning 1995-1997 generated by the COSMIC Data Analysis and Archive Center (CDAAC) in 2007. CDAAC developed modified...- publication PDF

Using data science to understand tape-based archive workloads
Data storage needs continue to grow in most fields, and the cost per byte for tape remains lower than the cost for disk, making tape storage a good candidate for cost-effective...- publication PDF

Isotropization at small scales of rotating helically driven turbulence
We present numerical evidence of how three-dimensionalization occurs at small scale in rotating turbulence with Beltrami (ABC) forcing, creating helical flow. The Zeman scale...- publication PDF

Black carbon aerosols and the third polar ice cap
Recent thinning of glaciers over the Himalayas (sometimes referred to as the third polar region) have raised concern on future water supplies since these glaciers supply water...- publication PDF

Global environmental implications of atmospheric methane removal through...
Atmospheric methane is both a potent greenhouse gas and photochemically active, with approximately equal anthropogenic and natural sources. The addition of chlorine to the...- publication PDF

Asymmetry in the duration of El Niño and La Niña.
El Niño and La Niña are not a simple mirror image, but exhibit significant differences in their spatial structure and seasonal evolution. In particular, sea surface...- publication PDF
