Response of the mesosphere-thermosphere-ionosphere system to global change:...
Long-term trends in the mesosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere are areas of research of increasing importance both because they are sensitive indicators of climatic change and...- publication PDF

Non-migrating tides in the ionosphere-thermosphere: In situ versus...
In this paper we demonstrate how magnetic control of ion-neutral interactions in the ionosphere-thermosphere (IT) system effectively produces source terms for non-migrating...- publication PDF

Explicit prediction of continental convection in a skillful...
We present a new global‐to‐regional model, cfvGFS, able to explicitly (without parameterization) represent convection over part of the Earth. This model couples the Geophysical...- publication PDF

Improvement of the prediction of surface ozone concentration over...
The global chemistry-climate model (CAM4-Chem) overestimates the surface ozone concentration over the conterminous U.S. (CONUS). Reasons for this positive bias include emission,...- publication PDF
