Model wind over the Central and Southern California coastal ocean
Recent studies have shown the importance of high-resolution wind in coastal ocean modeling. This paper tests the Coupled OceanâAtmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS)...- publication PDF

Role of elevation feedbacks and ice sheet-climate interactions on future...
The Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) stores freshwater equal to more than 7âm of potential sea level rise (SLR) and strongly interacts with the Arctic, North Atlantic and global...- publication PDF

Explicit form of the radiative and collisional branching ratios in polarized...
We consider the vector emissivity of the polarized radiation transfer in a Lambda-type atomic transition, which we recently proposed to account for both complete frequency...- publication PDF

Toxicological estimation of mortality of oceanic sea turtles oiled during...
Using multiple lines of evidence, we estimated the mortality of oceanic sea turtles that were minimally to moderately oiled by the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill in...- publication PDF

Two modes of change of the distribution of rain
The frequency and intensity of rainfall determine its character and may change with climate. A methodology for characterizing the frequency and amount of rainfall as functions...- publication PDF

Mesoscale and submesoscale effects on mixed layer depth in the southern ocean
Submesoscale dynamics play a key role in setting the stratification of the ocean surface mixed layer and mediating air-sea exchange, making them especially relevant to...- publication PDF

Changing seasonal sea ice predictor relationships in a changing Arctic climate
Seasonal predictions of Arctic sea ice conditions often rely on statistical relationships of a set of predictors that have shown skill for historical conditions. However, with...- publication PDF

Diagnostics of polar field reversal in solar cycle 23 using a Flux Transport...
Motivated by observed anomalous features in cycle 23, as inferred from records of photospheric magnetic flux, we develop a flux transport dynamo-based scheme in order to...- publication PDF

How well do we understand and evaluate climate change feedback processes?
Processes in the climate system that can either amplify or dampen the climate response to an external perturbation are referred to as climate feedbacks. Climate sensitivity...- publication PDF

An observed decline in the amplitude of recent solar-cycle peaks
There has been much speculation about the extended minimum between Solar Cycles 23 and 24. Cycle 24 itself has been unusually weak compared with recent cycles. We present...- publication PDF

Weakened submesoscale eddies in the Equatorial Pacific under greenhouse warming
Submesoscale eddies in the equatorial Pacific induce a pronounced upward heat flux from the subsurface to the surface ocean. Yet their response to greenhouse warming and...- publication PDF
