Large-scale dynamics moderate impact-relevant changes to organised convective storms
Larger organised convective storms (mesoscale-convective systems) can lead to major flood events in Europe. Here we assess end-of-century changes to their characteristics in two...- publication PDF

Inventory of boreal fire emissions for North America in 2004: Importance of...
The summer of 2004 was one of the largest fire seasons on record for Alaska and western Canada. We construct a daily bottom-up fire emission inventory for that season, including...- publication PDF

Deciphering solar magnetic activity: The (solar) hale cycle terminator of 2021
We previously identified an event in the solar timeline that appeared to play a role in how sunspot Cycle 23 (SC23) transitioned into sunspot Cycle 24 (SC24). The timeframe for...- publication PDF

Simulating observations of southern ocean clouds and implications for climate
Southern Ocean (S. Ocean) clouds are important for climate prediction. Yet previous global climate models failed to accurately represent cloud phase distributions in this...- publication PDF

Inhomogeneous background error modeling for WRF-Var using the NMC method
Background error modeling plays a key role in a variational data assimilation system. The National Meteorological Center (NMC) method has been widely used in variational data...- publication PDF
