The surface-pressure signature of atmospheric tides in modern climate models
Although atmospheric tides driven by solar heating are readily detectable at the earth's surface as variations in air pressure, their simulations in current coupled global...- publication PDF

Centennial-scale climate change from decadally-paced explosive volcanism: A...
Northern Hemisphere summer cooling through the Holocene is largely driven by the steady decrease in summer insolation tied to the precession of the equinoxes. However,...- publication PDF

Higher measured than modeled ozone production at increased NOx levels in the...
Chemical models must correctly calculate the ozone formation rate, P(O3), to accurately predict ozone levels and to test mitigation strategies. However, air quality models can...- publication PDF
