Variability of thermosphere and ionosphere responses to solar flares
We investigated how the rise rate and decay rate of solar flares affect the thermosphere and ionosphere responses to them. Model simulations and data analysis were conducted for...- publication PDF

Model support for forcing of the 8.2 ka event by meltwater from the Hudson...
Previous model experiments of the 8.2 ka event forced by the drainage of Lake Agassiz often do not produce climate anomalies as long as those inferred from proxies. In addition...- publication PDF

Turbulent airflow at young sea states with frequent wave breaking events:...
A neutrally stratified turbulent airflow over a very young sea surface at a high-wind condition was investigated using large-eddy simulations. In such a state, the dominant drag...- publication PDF

Impact of mountains in Southern China on the Eocene climates of East Asia
Inconsistencies in the Eocene climates of East Asia have been revealed in both geological studies and simulations. Several earlier reconstructions showed an arid zonal band in...- publication PDF

Improving model-satellite comparisons of sea ice melt onset with a satellite...
Seasonal transitions in Arctic sea ice, such as the melt onset, have been found to be useful metrics for evaluating sea ice in climate models against observations. However,...- publication PDF
