Potential impacts of future warming and land use changes on intra-urban heat...
Extreme heat events in the United States are projected to become more frequent and intense as a result of climate change. We investigated the individual and combined effects of...- publication PDF

Decomposing reflectance spectra to track gross primary production in a...
Photosynthesis by terrestrial plants represents the majority of CO2 uptake on Earth, yet it is difficult to measure directly from space. Estimation of gross primary production...- publication PDF

Seismic constraints on the radial dependence of the internal rotation...
We still do not understand which physical mechanisms are responsible for the transport of angular momentum inside stars. The recent detection of mixed modes that contain the...- publication PDF

Comparison of equilibrium climate sensitivity estimates from slab ocean,...
We compare equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) estimates from pairs of long (>= 800-year) control and abruptly quadrupled CO(2)simulations with shorter (150- and 300-year)...- publication PDF

The impact of meteorological forcing uncertainty on hydrological modeling: A...
Meteorological forcing is a major source of uncertainty in hydrological modeling. The recent development of probabilistic large-domain meteorological data sets enables...- publication PDF

The influence of shear on deep convection initiation. Part II: simulations
This study evaluates a hypothesis for the role of vertical wind shear in deep convection initiation (DCI) that was introduced in Part I by examining behavior of a series of...- publication PDF

Event studies of highâlatitude FACs with inverse and assimilative analysis...
We present examples of high-latitude field-aligned current (FAC) and toroidal magnetic potential patterns in both hemispheres reconstructed at a 2-min cadence using an updated...- publication PDF

Radiative and energetic constraints on the global annual mean atomic oxygen...
We present a new approach to constrain and validate atomic oxygen (O) concentrations in the mesopause region (~ 80 to ~100 km). In a prior companion paper [Mlynczak et al., ],...- publication PDF

The eruption of a prominence-carrying coronal flux rope: Forward synthesis...
From a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of the eruption of a prominence hosting coronal flux rope, we carry out forward synthesis of the circular polarization signal (Stokes...- publication PDF

The influence of shallow convection on tropical cyclone track forecasts
Accurate tropical cyclone (TC) track forecasts depend on having skillful numerical model predictions of the environmental wind field. Given that wind and temperature are related...- publication PDF

Formation and maintenance of the tropical cold-point tropopause in a dry...
The formation of the tropical cold-point tropopause (CPT) is examined using a dry primitive equation model driven by the Held–Suarez forcing. Without moist and realistic...- publication PDF

Relationships between tropical sea surface temperature and top-of-atmosphere...
To assess climate sensitivity from Earth radiation observations of limited duration and observed sea surface temperatures (SSTs) requires a closed and therefore global domain,...- publication PDF

Constraining the aerosol influence on cloud liquid water path
The impact of aerosols on cloud properties is one of the largest uncertainties in the anthropogenic radiative forcing of the climate. Significant progress has been made in...- publication PDF

Causes of early Holocene desertification in arid central Asia
Paleoclimate records of effective moisture (precipitation minus evaporation, or P-E) show a dry (low effective moisture) period in mid-latitude arid/semi-arid central Asia...- publication PDF

Evaluation of regional isoprene emission factors and modeled fluxes in California
Accurately modeled biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions are an essential input to atmospheric chemistry simulations of ozone and particle formation. BVOC emission...- publication PDF
