Global sounding of F region irregularities by COSMIC during a geomagnetic storm
We analyse reprocessed electron density profiles and total electron content (TEC) profiles of the ionosphere in September 2008 (around solar minimum) and September 2013 (around...- publication PDF

A comparison of model-based ionospheric and ocean tidal magnetic signals...
Observed tidal geomagnetic field variations are due to a combination of electric currents in the ionosphere, ocean, and their induced counterparts. Using these variations to...- publication PDF

The emergence of shallow easterly jets within QBO westerlies
A configuration of an idealized general circulation model has been obtained in which a deep, stratospheric, equatorial, westerly jet is established that is spontaneously and...- publication PDF

Large methane releases lead to strong aerosol forcing and reduced cloudiness
The release of vast quantities of methane into the atmosphere as a result of clathrate destabilization is a potential mechanism for rapid amplification of global warming....- publication PDF

The dry season intensity as a key driver of NPP trends
We analyze the impacts of changing dry season length and intensity on vegetation productivity and biomass. Our results show a wetness asymmetry in dry ecosystems, with dry...- publication PDF

Observed humidity trends in dry regions contradict climate models
Arid and semi-arid regions of the world are particularly vulnerable to greenhouse gas- driven hydroclimate change. Climate models are our primary tool for projecting the future...- publication PDF

Observations of total RONOâ over the boreal forest: NOx sinks and HNOâ sources
In contrast with the textbook view of remote chemistry where HNOâ formation is the primary sink of nitrogen oxides, recent theoretical analyses show that formation of RONOâ...- publication PDF
