Current and future U.S. weather extremes and El Niño
A global coupled climate model representative of the current generation of models is shown to simulate most first order aspects of El Niño events, their teleconnections over...- publication PDF

Contrasting urban and rural heat stress responses to climate change
Hot temperatures in combination with high humidity cause human discomfort and may increase morbidity and mortality. A global climate model with an embedded urban model is used...- publication PDF

Hydrometeor lofting and mesoscale snowbands
Environments that accompany mesoscale snowbands in extratropical cyclones feature strong midlevel frontogenesis and weak symmetric stability, conditions conducive to vigorous...- publication PDF

Distinct surface response to black carbon aerosols
For the radiative impact of individual climate forcings, most previous studies focused on the global mean values at the top of the atmosphere (TOA), and less attention has been...- publication PDF

Comparison of eddy dissipation rate estimated from operational radiosonde...
The one-third power of the energy dissipation rate (EDR), a primary aviation turbulence metric, is calculated using high vertical-resolution radiosonde data (HVRRD) and compared...- publication PDF

The QBO-MJO connection: A possible role for the SST and ENSO
We examine the hypothesis that the observed connection between the stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) and the strength of the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) is...- publication PDF

Importance of the Antarctic Slope Current in the Southern Ocean response to...
We use two coupled climate models, GFDL-CM4 and GFDL-ESM4, to investigate the physical response of the Southern Ocean to changes in surface wind stress, Antarctic meltwater, and...- publication PDF

Constraining cloud droplet number concentration in GCMs suppresses the...
Global aerosol-climate models with prognostic treatment of cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC) often prescribe lower bounds for CDNC or aerosol concentrations. Here we...- publication PDF
