A non-Gaussian analysis scheme using rank histograms for ensemble data assimilation
One challenge of geophysical data assimilation is to address the issue of non-Gaussianities in the distributions of the physical variables ensuing, in many cases, from nonlinear...- publication PDF

A method for adaptive habit prediction in bulk microphysical models. Part...
It is common for cloud microphysical models to use a single axis length to characterize ice crystals. These methods use either the diameter of an equivalent sphere or mass-size...- publication PDF

Large-scale ionospheric disturbances due to the dissipation of...
In a companion paper, we show that large-scale secondary gravity waves and circulation cells are created by the body forces generated by the dissipation of convectively...- publication PDF
