A momentum budget study of the semi‐annual oscillation in the Whole...
The representation of the semi‐annual oscillation (SAO) in climate models shows a common easterly bias of several tens of metres per second compared to observations. These...- publication PDF

Linking hydraulic traits to tropical forest function in a size-structured...
Forest ecosystem models based on heuristic water stress functions poorly predict tropical forest response to drought partly because they do not capture the diversity of...- publication PDF
