Understanding the impact of urban expansion and lake shrinkage on summer...
Wuhan has witnessed unprecedented urban expansion that encroached upon sizable inland lakes. However, the impacts of urban expansion on climate and heat stress for such a city...- publication PDF

Error induced by neglecting subgrid chemical segregation due to inefficient...
We employed direct numerical simulations to estimate the error on chemical calculation in simulations with regional chemical-transport models induced by neglecting subgrid...- publication PDF

Downscaling extremes: A comparison of extreme value distributions in...
There is substantial empirical and climatological evidence that precipitation extremes have become more extreme during the twentieth century, and that this trend is likely to...- publication PDF

Spatial forecast verification: Image warping
PREFACE : In response to a growing need for more informative forecast verification in the face of gridded verification sets, many new methods have been proposed. While widely...- publication PDF

Global warming pattern formation: Sea surface temperature and rainfall
Spatial variations in sea surface temperature (SST) and rainfall changes over the tropics are investigated based on ensemble simulations for the first half of the twenty-first...- publication PDF

Ionospheric modulation by EMIC wave-driven proton precipitation:...
Protons of tens of keV can be resonantly scattered by electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves excited in the magnetosphere, resulting in proton precipitation down to the...- publication PDF

Observations of turbulence in a Kelvin-Helmholtz event on 8 September 2015...
Spatial and high-time-resolution properties of the velocities, magnetic field, and 3-D electric field within plasma turbulence are examined observationally using data from the...- publication PDF

Revisiting the parameterization of potential evaporation as a driver of...
We examine the effects of two different parameterizations of potential evaporation on long-term trends in soil moisture, evaporative flux and runoff simulated by the water...- publication PDF

Treatment of undercanopy turbulence in land models
In arid and semiarid regions most of the solar radiation penetrates through the canopy and reaches the ground, and hence the turbulent exchange coefficient under canopy C-s...- publication PDF

Predicting the severity of spurious "double ITCZ" problem in CMIP5 coupled...
The severity of the double Intertropical Convergence Zone (DI) problem in climate models can be measured by a tropical precipitation asymmetry index (PAI), indicating whether...- publication PDF

The effect of a giant wind farm on precipitation in a regional climate model
The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is employed as a nested regional climate model to study the effect of a giant wind farm on warm-season precipitation in the...- publication PDF

Asteroseismic constraints on diffusion in white dwarf envelopes
The asteroseismic analysis of white dwarfs allows us to peer below their photospheres and determine their internal structure. At similar to 28 000K EC20058-5234 is the hottest...- publication PDF

Frequency redistribution function for the polarized two-term atom
We present a generalized frequency redistribution function for the polarized two-term atom in an arbitrary magnetic field. This result is derived within a new formulation of the...- publication PDF
