The Perdigão: Peering into Microscale Details of Mountain Winds
A grand challenge from the wind energy industry is to provide reliable forecasts on mountain winds several hours in advance at microscale (similar to 100 m) resolution. This...- publication PDF

Hemispheric asymmetry of subauroral ion drifts: Statistical results
A large database of more than 18,000 subauroral ion drift (SAID) events from DMSP observations from 1987 to 2012 is used to systematically investigate the features of SAID. SAID...- publication PDF

The climate response of the Indo-Pacific warm pool to glacial sea level
Growing climate proxy evidence suggests that changes in sea level are important drivers of tropical climate change on glacial-interglacial timescales. These paleodata suggest...- publication PDF

Optimizing Genetic Algorithm Parameters for Atmospheric Carbon Monoxide Modeling
A main source of atmospheric carbon monoxide (CO) variability in the Southern Hemisphere is large burn events, making CO a useful proxy for fires. Therefore, predictive CO...- publication PDF

Speleothems of South American and Asian Monsoons influenced by a green Sahara
The mid-Holocene is frequently used for climate model-proxy comparison studies, yet models often struggle to replicate the proxy signals from this period. Here, we use an Earth...- publication PDF
