Realizing a terrestrial reference frame using the Global Positioning System
We describe a terrestrial reference frame (TRF) realization based on Global Positioning System (GPS) data alone. Our approach rests on a highly dynamic, long-arc (9 day)...- publication PDF

Scale dependence of midlatitude air-sea interaction
It has traditionally been thought that midlatitude sea surface temperature (SST) variability is predominantly driven by variations in air-sea surface heat fluxes (SHFs)...- publication PDF

Characterizing seawater oxygen isotopic variability in a regional ocean...
Reconstructions of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are often created using the oxygen isotopic ratio in tropical coral skeletons (δ¹⁸O). However, coral δ¹⁸O can be...- publication PDF

Coccolithophore growth and calcification in an acidified ocean: Insights...
Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are inundating the upper ocean, acidifying the water, and altering the habitat for marine phytoplankton. These changes are thought to be particularly...- publication PDF

Stochastic parameterization and El Niño-southern oscillation
El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the dominant mode of interannual variability in the tropical Pacific. However, the models in the ensemble from phase 5 of the Coupled...- publication PDF

Characteristics of tropical cyclones in high-resolution models in the present climate
The global characteristics of tropical cyclones (TCs) simulated by several climate models are analyzed and compared with observations. The global climate models were forced by...- publication PDF
