Abrupt termination of the 2012 Pacific warming and its implication on ENSO prediction
In the summer of 2012, there was a clear signal of the developing El Niño over the equatorial Pacific, and many climate models forecasted the occurrence of El Niño with a peak...- publication PDF

Resolving the strange behavior of extraterrestrial potassium in the upper atmosphere
It has been known since the 1960s that the layers of Na and K atoms, which occur between 80 and 105âkm in the Earth's atmosphere as a result of meteoric ablation, exhibit...- publication PDF
