Contributions of external forcings to Southern Annular Mode trends
An observed trend in the Southern Hemisphere annular mode (SAM) during recent decades has involved an intensification of the polar vortex. The source of this trend is a matter...- publication PDF

The heating efficiency of the exothermic reaction H + O3 in the mesosphere
An important source of heating in the mesosphere is the exothermic reaction of ozone with atomic hydrogen, which generates hydroxyl in a vibrationally excited state. Some of the...- publication PDF

Ocean mediation of tropospheric response to reflecting and absorbing aerosols
Radiative forcing by reflecting (e.g., sulfate, SOâ) and absorbing (e.g., black carbon, BC) aerosols is distinct: the former cools the planet by reducing solar radiation at...- publication PDF
