Carbon-concentration and carbon-climate feedbacks in CMIP5 Earth System Models
The magnitude and evolution of parameters that characterize feedbacks in the coupled carbon-climate system are compared across nine Earth system models (ESMs). The analysis is...- publication PDF

Decadal disruption of the QBO by tropical volcanic supereruptions
The Los Chocoyos (14.6 degrees N, 91.2 degrees W) supereruption happened similar to 75,000 years ago in Guatemala and was one of the largest eruptions of the past 100,000 years....- publication PDF

Temperature trends in the NARCCAP regional climate models
The skill of six regional climate models (RCMs) in reproducing short-term (24-yr), observed, near-surface temperature trends when driven by reanalysis is examined. The RCMs are...- publication PDF
