Extension of the MURaM radiative MHD code for coronal simulations
We present a new version of the MURaM radiative magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code that allows for simulations spanning from the upper convection zone into the solar corona. We...- publication PDF

The impact of stochastic physics on tropical rainfall variability in global...
Many global atmospheric models have too little precipitation variability in the tropics on daily to weekly time scales and also a poor representation of tropical precipitation...- publication PDF

17 O-excess in tropical cyclones reflects local rain re-evaporation more...
O-17-excess is a relatively new water isotope parameter that could potentially provide useful information about the hydrological cycle. Previous works focusing on O-17-excess in...- publication PDF

Obtaining single path phase delays from GPS double differences
We describe a method for obtaining single-path phase delays from GPS double differences. The resulting "zero differences" (ZDs) can be used for remote sensing of atmospheric...- publication PDF
