Cloud-resolving modeling: ARM and the GCSS story
The Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Cloud System Study (GCSS) was created in 1992. As described by Browning et al. (1993, p. 387), "The focus of GCSS is on...- publication PDF

Global gridded crop model evaluation: benchmarking, skills, deficiencies and...
Crop models are increasingly used to simulate crop yields at the global scale, but so far there is no general framework on how to assess model performance. Here we evaluate the...- publication PDF

On the mechanisms of rain formation in an idealized supercell storm
Deep convective storms produce raindrops through three mechanisms: condensation and coalescence growth of cloud liquid droplets (i.e., warm processes), melting of ice...- publication PDF

The value of initialization on decadal timescales: State-dependent...
Information in decadal climate prediction arises from a well-initialized ocean state and from the predicted response to an external forcing. The length of time over which the...- publication PDF

Far-ranging impact of mountain waves excited over Greenland on stratospheric...
In situ observations of reduced stratospheric water vapor combined with those of ice particle formation are rarely conducted. On the one hand, they are essential to broaden our...- publication PDF
