Separating signal and noise in atmospheric temperature changes: The...
We compare global-scale changes in satellite estimates of the temperature of the lower troposphere (TLT) with model simulations of forced and unforced TLT changes. While...- publication PDF

Assessment of uncertainty sources in snow cover simulation in the Tibetan Plateau
Snow cover over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) plays an important role in Asian climate. State-of-the-art models, however, show significant simulation biases. In this study, we assess...- publication PDF

Is Proxima Centauri b habitable? A study of atmospheric loss
We address the important question of whether the newly discovered exoplanet, Proxima Centauri b (PCb), is capable of retaining an atmosphere over long periods of time. This is...- publication PDF
