Relative changes in CO emissions over megacities based on observations from space
Urban areas are large sources of several air pollutants, with carbon monoxide (CO) among the largest. Yet measurement from space of their CO emissions remains elusive due to its...- publication PDF

The role of vertical wind shear in modulating maximum supercell updraft velocities
Observed supercell updrafts consistently produce the fastest mid- to upper-tropospheric vertical velocities among all modes of convection. Two hypotheses for this feature are...- publication PDF
