On the contribution of quiet-sun magnetism to solar irradiance variations:...
While the quiet-Sun magnetic field shows only little variation with the solar cycle, long-term variations cannot be completely ruled out from first principles. We investigate...- publication PDF

The impact of climate change on ocean submesoscale activity
Global warming may modify submesoscale activity in the ocean through changes in the mixed layer depth (MLD) and lateral buoyancy gradients. As a case study we consider a region...- publication PDF
