Uncertainty in land carbon budget simulated by terrestrial biosphere models:...
Global estimates of the land carbon sink are often based on simulations by terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs). The use of a large number of models that differ in their...- publication PDF

Isolating the meteorological impact of 21st century GHG warming on the...
Particulate matter with the diameter smaller than 2.5 mu m (PM2.5) poses health threats to human population. Regardless of efforts to regulate the pollution sources, it is...- publication PDF

Entrainment and budgets of heat, water vapor, and carbon dioxide in a...
A large-eddy simulation (LES) code is coupled with a land surface model to investigate the diurnal variation of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). The diurnal evolution of...- publication PDF

Drivers of uncertainty in future projections of Madden-Julian Oscillation...
Teleconnections from the MaddenâJulian Oscillation (MJO) are a key source of predictability of weather on the extended timescale of about 10â40âd. The MJO teleconnection...- publication PDF

Revisiting the relationship among metrics of tropical expansion
There is mounting evidence that the width of the tropics has increased over the last few decades, but there are large differences in reported expansion rates. This is, likely,...- publication PDF

Resolving size distribution of black carbon internally mixed with snow:...
We develop a stochastic aerosol-snow albedo model that explicitly resolves size distribution of aerosols internally mixed with various snow grains. We use the model to quantify...- publication PDF

Budgets for nocturnal VOC oxidation by nitrate radicals aloft during the...
Industrial emissions in Houston, Texas, and along the U.S. Gulf Coast are a large source of highly reactive anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), principally alkenes,...- publication PDF

The future sea-level contribution of the Greenland ice sheet: A multi-model...
The Greenland ice sheet is one of the largest contributors to global mean sea-level rise today and is expected to continue to lose mass as the Arctic continues to warm. The two...- publication PDF

The role of irrigation expansion on historical climate change: Insights from CMIP6
To produce food for a growing world population, irrigated areas have increased from approximately 0.63 million km(2) of land in 1900 to 3.1 million km(2) of land in 2005....- publication PDF
