A maximum spreading speed for magnetopause reconnection
Past observations and numerical modeling find magnetic reconnection to initiate at a localized region and then spread along a current sheet. The rate of spreading has been...- publication PDF

Ground-based GNSS and satellite observations of auroral ionospheric...
The 25-26 August 2018 space weather event occurred during the solar minimum period and surprisingly became the third largest geomagnetic storm of the entire 24th solar cycle. We...- publication PDF

Storm surge and "certain death": Interviews with Texas coastal residents...
Hurricane Ike made landfall near Galveston, Texas, on 13 September 2008 as a large category 2 storm that generated significant storm surge and flooding. This article presents...- publication PDF

Drivers, dynamics, and persistence of the 2017/2018 Tasman Sea marine heatwave
During the austral summer of 2017/2018, the Tasman Sea experienced an intense marine heatwave over an extensive area. It persisted for approximately 3 months and caused...- publication PDF

New empirical formulation for the sublimational breakup of graupel and dendritic snow
Ice fragments are generated by sublimation of ice particles in subsaturated conditions in natural clouds. Conceivably, such sublimational breakup would be expected to cause ice...- publication PDF

Reversed dynamo at small scales and large magnetic prandtl number
We show that at large magnetic Prandtl numbers, the Lorentz force does work on the flow at small scales and drives fluid motions, whose energy is dissipated viscously. This...- publication PDF
