A nonlinear perspective on the dynamics of the MJO: Idealized large-eddy simulations
The 30-60-day intraseasonal atmospheric oscillation in the equatorial atmosphere, the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO), is most visible in its signature of outgoing longwave...- publication PDF

Modeling the subsurface structure of sunspots
While sunspots are easily observed at the solar surface, determining their subsurface structure is not trivial. There are two main hypotheses for the subsurface structure of...- publication PDF
