How I learned to love normal-mode Rossby–Haurwitz Waves
Several important developments in the 1960s showed the way to using spectral analysis to identify and describe atmospheric waves predicted by theory. Among these waves were...- publication PDF

United States economic sensitivity to weather variability
To estimate the economic effects of weather variability in the United States, we define and measure weather sensitivity as the variability in economic output attributable to...- publication PDF

How does vertical wind shear influence updraft characteristics and...
Vertical wind shear is known to affect supercell thunderstorms by displacing updraft hydrometeor mass downshear, thereby facilitating the storms' longevity. Shear also impacts...- publication PDF

Evidence of nighttime production of organic nitrates during SEAC4RS, FRAPPÉ,...
Organic nitrates (RONO2) are an important NOx sink. In warm, rural environments dominated by biogenic emissions, nocturnal NO3-initiated production of RONO2 is competitive with...- publication PDF
