Reduced poleward transport due to stratospheric heating under stratospheric...
By injecting SO(2)into the stratosphere at four latitudes (30 degrees, 15 degrees N/S), it might be possible not only to reduce global mean surface temperature but also to...- publication PDF

The role of tropical volcanic eruptions in exacerbating Indian droughts
The Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR) is vital for the livelihood of millions of people in the Indian region; droughts caused by monsoon failures often resulted in famines....- publication PDF

A new reference-quality precipitation gauge wind shield
Gauge-based precipitation measurements suffer from undercatch due to the effects of wind, with solid-precipitation measurements especially susceptible to such errors. When it is...- publication PDF

Equilibrium climate sensitivity estimated by equilibrating climate models
The methods to quantify equilibrium climate sensitivity are still debated. We collect millennial-length simulations of coupled climate models and show that the global mean...- publication PDF

Revisiting global fossil fuel and biofuel emissions of ethane
Recent measurements over the Northern Hemisphere indicate that the long-term decline in the atmospheric burden of ethane (C2H6) has ended and the abundance increased...- publication PDF

The lack of a QBO-MJO connection in climate models with a nudged stratosphere
The observed stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) and the tropospheric Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) are strongly connected in boreal winter, with stronger MJO...- publication PDF

North-South asymmetry in the modeled phytoplankton community response to...
Here we analyze the impact of projected climate change on plankton ecology in all major ocean biomes over the 21st century, using a multidecade (1880–2090) experiment conducted...- publication PDF

Improved clouds over Southern Ocean amplify Antarctic precipitation response...
Increasing precipitation on the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) in a warming climate has the potential to partially mitigate Antarctica's contribution to sea level rise. We show that...- publication PDF
