Near-surface wind convergence over the Gulf Stream - The role of SST revisited
High-resolution observations have demonstrated the presence of strong time-mean near-surface wind convergence (NSWC) anchored across oceanic frontal zones, such as the western...- publication PDF

Comparing machine learning-derived global estimates of soil respiration and...
The CO2 efflux from soil (soil respiration (SR)) is one of the largest fluxes in the global carbon (C) cycle and its response to climate change could strongly influence future...- publication PDF

Assimilating radar, surface and profiler data for the Sydney 2000 forecast...
A variational scheme for the analysis of low-level wind data is presented, and its performance during a recent field experiment is described. The analysis scheme finds an...- publication PDF

Implementation and initial evaluation of the glimmer community ice sheet...
The Glimmer Community Ice Sheet Model (Glimmer-CISM) has been implemented in the Community Earth System Model (CESM). Glimmer-CISM is forced by a surface mass balance (SMB)...- publication PDF

Roll circulations in the convective region of a simulated squall line
In high-resolution numerical simulations (using horizontal grid spacing less than 1 km), the convective region of squall lines will sometimes overturn as quasi-horizontal...- publication PDF

Using the radiative kernel technique to calculate climate feedbacks in...
Climate models differ in their responses to imposed forcings, such as increased greenhouse gas concentrations, due to different climate feedback strengths. Feedbacks in NCAR's...- publication PDF

Using deep learning for an analysis of atmospheric rivers in a...
There is currently large uncertainty over the impacts of climate change on precipitation trends over the US west coast. Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are a significant source of US...- publication PDF

Analyzing dynamical circulations in the tropical tropopause layer through...
We explore the use of nonlinear empirical predictions of thin cirrus for diagnosing transport through the tropical tropopause layer (TTL). Thirty day back trajectories are...- publication PDF

Changes in precipitation variability across time scales in multiple global...
Anthropogenic changes in the variability of precipitation stand to impact both natural and human systems in profound ways. Precipitation variability encompasses not only...- publication PDF

Impact of anthropogenic aerosols on Indian summer monsoon
Using an interactive aerosol-climate model we find that absorbing anthropogenic aerosols, whether coexisting with scattering aerosols or not, can significantly affect the Indian...- publication PDF

Forest drought resistance at large geographic scales
Forest conservation and carbon sequestration efforts are on the rise, yet the long-term stability of these efforts under a changing climate remains unknown. We generate nearly...- publication PDF

Microphysical process rates and global aerosol-cloud interactions
Cloud microphysical process rates control the amount of condensed water in clouds and impact the susceptibility of precipitation to cloud-drop number and aerosols. The relative...- publication PDF

Associations of cumulative Sun exposure and phenotypic characteristics with...
Background: Solar elastosis adjacent to melanomas in histologic sections is regarded as an indicator of sun exposure, although the associations of UV exposure and phenotype with...- publication PDF
