Near-cloud aerosols in monsoon environment and its impact on radiative forcing
In order to understand the near-cloud aerosol properties and their impact on radiative forcing, we utilized in situ aircraft measurements of aerosol particles and cloud droplets...- publication PDF

Uncertainty in land carbon budget simulated by terrestrial biosphere models:...
Global estimates of the land carbon sink are often based on simulations by terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs). The use of a large number of models that differ in their...- publication PDF

Drivers of uncertainty in future projections of Madden-Julian Oscillation...
Teleconnections from the MaddenâJulian Oscillation (MJO) are a key source of predictability of weather on the extended timescale of about 10â40âd. The MJO teleconnection...- publication PDF

Revisiting the relationship among metrics of tropical expansion
There is mounting evidence that the width of the tropics has increased over the last few decades, but there are large differences in reported expansion rates. This is, likely,...- publication PDF

Resolving size distribution of black carbon internally mixed with snow:...
We develop a stochastic aerosol-snow albedo model that explicitly resolves size distribution of aerosols internally mixed with various snow grains. We use the model to quantify...- publication PDF

The future sea-level contribution of the Greenland ice sheet: A multi-model...
The Greenland ice sheet is one of the largest contributors to global mean sea-level rise today and is expected to continue to lose mass as the Arctic continues to warm. The two...- publication PDF
