Physical controls on orographic cirrus inhomogeneity
Optical depth distributions (P(Ï)) are a useful measure of radiatively important cirrus (Ci) inhomogeneity. Yet, the relationship between P(Ï) and underlying cloud physical...- publication PDF

Unraveling the mechanisms and implications of a stronger mid-Pliocene...
The mid-Pliocene warm period (3.264-3.025 Ma) is the most recent geological period in which the atmospheric CO2 concentration was approximately equal to the concentration we...- publication PDF

Modeling ionospheric super-fountain effect based on the coupled TIMEGCM-SAMI3
Recently, efforts have been undertaken to develop a coupled thermosphere-ionosphere-plasmasphere model based on two well-established models, namely, the Thermosphere-Ionosphere-...- publication PDF

On the importance of representing snow over sea-ice for simulating the...
Correctly representing the snow on sea-ice has great potential to improve cryosphere-atmosphere coupling in forecasting and monitoring (e.g., reanalysis) applications, via...- publication PDF

Sensitivity of aerosol distribution and climate response to stratospheric...
Injection of SO2 into the stratosphere has been proposed as a method to, in part, counteract anthropogenic climate change. So far, most studies investigated injections at the...- publication PDF

An edge-based unstructured mesh discretisation in geospherical framework
An arbitrary finite-volume approach is developed for discretising partial differential equations governing fluid flows on the sphere. Unconventionally for unstructured-mesh...- publication PDF

Diagnosing snow accumulation errors in a rain-snow transitional environment...
Diagnosing the source of errors in snow models requires intensive observations, a flexible model framework to test competing hypotheses, and a methodology to systematically test...- publication PDF

Extreme temperature events will drive coral decline in the Coral Triangle
In light of rapid environmental change, quantifying the contribution of regional- and local-scale drivers of coral persistence is necessary to characterize fully the resilience...- publication PDF

Energyâwater asynchrony principally determines water available for runoff...
Changes in the volume, rate, and timing of the snowmelt water pulse have profound implications for seasonal soil moisture, evapotranspiration (ET), groundwater recharge, and...- publication PDF

A self-consistent model of helium in the thermosphere
We have found that consideration of neutral helium as a major species leads to a more complete physics-based modeling description of the Earth's upper thermosphere. An augmented...- publication PDF

Evaluation of AIRS, IASI, and OMI ozone profile retrievals in the...
We evaluate ozone profile retrievals from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI), and the Ozone Monitoring Instrument...- publication PDF

Springtime winds drive Ross Sea ice variability and change in the following autumn
Autumn sea ice trends in the western Ross Sea dominate increases in Antarctic sea ice and are outside the range simulated by climate models. Here we use a number of independent...- publication PDF

Volcanic aerosol impacts on Hawai'i Island rainfall
In recent decades, a significant rainfall decline over the island of Hawai'i has been noted, with many hypothesizing that the drying is associated with the volcanic aerosols...- publication PDF

Climate-change-driven accelerated sea-level rise detected in the altimeter era
Using a 25-y time series of precision satellite altimeter data from TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, Jason-2, and Jason-3, we estimate the climate-change-driven acceleration of global...- publication PDF
