Steps for building a calibrated flux-transport dynamo for the Sun
Given the complexity involved in a flux-transport-type dynamo driven by both Babcock - Leighton and tachocline α effects, we present here a step-by-step procedure for building a...- publication PDF

Characterizing sampling biases in the trace gas climatologies of the SPARC...
Monthly zonal mean climatologies of atmospheric measurements from satellite instruments can have biases due to the nonuniform sampling of the atmosphere by the instruments. We...- publication PDF

Arctic sea ice in CMIP6
We examine CMIP6 simulations of Arctic sea-ice area and volume. We find that CMIP6 models produce a wide spread of mean Arctic sea-ice area, capturing the observational estimate...- publication PDF
