Variability and quasi-decadal changes in the methane budget over the period 2000-2012
Following the recent Global Carbon Project (GCP) synthesis of the decadal methane (CH4) budget over 2000-2012 (Saunois et al., 2016), we analyse here the same dataset with a...- publication PDF

Vertical temperature profiles at maximum entropy production with a net...
Like any fluid heated from below, the atmosphere is subject to vertical instability that triggers convection. Convection occurs on small time and space scales, which makes it a...- publication PDF

Mechanisms of along-valley winds and heat exchange over mountainous terrain
The physical mechanisms leading to the formation of diurnal along-valley winds are investigated over idealized three-dimensional topography. The topography used in this study...- publication PDF

Elevation-dependent temperature response in early Eocene using paleoclimate...
Mountains become warmer with elevation in response to greenhouse gas warming, an effect known as elevation-dependent warming. The Eocene is considered a replica of the future...- publication PDF
