Extreme rainfall from orographic thunderstorms in the central Appalachians
The central Appalachian region has experienced some of the largest rainfall accumulations in the world at time intervals less than 6 h, including the 18 July 1942 Smethport,...- publication PDF

An intercomparison of wall fluxes in a turbulent thermal convection chamber:...
Thermal convection in a closed chamber is driven by a warm bottom, a cold top, and side walls at various temperatures. Although wall fluxes are the source of convection energy,...- publication PDF

A comparison of South American and African preferential pathways for extreme...
In the Southern Hemisphere, a relatively well-known preferential pathway along which cold air surges equatorward is situated to the east of the Andes Mountains. In this study, a...- publication PDF

Land use change exacerbates tropical South American drought by sea surface...
Observations of tropical South American precipitation over the last three decades indicate an increasing rainfall trend to the north and a decreasing trend to the south. Given...- publication PDF

Solar spectral lines with special polarization properties for the...
We investigate atomic transitions that have previously been identified as having zero polarization from the Zeeman effect. Our goal is to identify spectral lines that can be...- publication PDF

On the possible interaction between internal climate variability and forced...
The global warming hiatus does not necessarily mean a hiatus in anthropogenic greenhouse gas forcing and forced climate change (FCC). Here we show that both Atlantic...- publication PDF
