Modeling of cloud microphysics: Can we do better?
Representation of cloud microphysics is a key aspect of simulating clouds. From the early days of cloud modeling, numerical models have relied on an Eulerian approach for all...- publication PDF

Evaluation of CESM1 (WACCM) free-running and specified dynamics atmospheric...
We have analyzed near-global stratospheric data (and mesospheric data as well for H2O) in terms of absolute abundances, variability, and trends for O-3, H2O, HCl, N2O, and HNO3,...- publication PDF

Role of tropical cyclones in determining ENSO characteristics
El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) can effectively modulate global tropical cyclone (TC) activity, but the role TCs may play in determining ENSO characteristics remains...- publication PDF

Isohaline salinity budget of the North Atlantic salinity maximum
In this study, the salinity budget of the North Atlantic subtropical salinity maximum region for control volumes bounded by isohaline surfaces is analyzed. The authors provide...- publication PDF

Uncertainty and emergent constraints on enhanced ecosystem carbon stock by...
Significant land greening since the 1980s has been detected through satellite observation, forest inventory, and Earth system modeling. However, whether and to what extent...- publication PDF

Tropical cyclone formation within strong northeasterly environments in the...
In the South China Sea (SCS), 17% of tropical cyclones (TCs) formed in the late season (November-January) were associated with a strong northeasterly monsoon. This study...- publication PDF

Convective-scale data assimilation for the weather research and forecasting...
Particle filters (PFs) are Monte Carlo data assimilation techniques that operate with no parametric assumptions for prior and posterior errors. A data assimilation method...- publication PDF

Impact of grain shape and multiple black carbon internal mixing on snow...
We quantify the effects of grain shape and multiple black carbon (BC)-snow internal mixing on snow albedo by explicitly resolving shape and mixing structures. Nonspherical snow...- publication PDF

Testing methods for reconstructing glacial Antarctic circumpolar current...
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) plays a vital role in the interbasin exchange of ocean properties. A robust method to reconstruct the ACC baroclinic transport is helpful...- publication PDF

Wavelet decomposition of forced turbulence: Applicability of the iterative...
We examine the decomposition of forced Taylor-Green and Arn'old-Beltrami-Childress (ABC) flows into coherent and incoherent components using an orthonormal wavelet...- publication PDF

East Pacific ocean eddies and their relationship to subseasonal variability...
Subseasonal variability in sea surface height (SSH) over the East Pacific warm pool off Central America is investigated using satellite observations and an eddy-resolving ocean...- publication PDF

Climate changes in the upper atmosphere: Contributions by the changing...
Previous studies have established the importance of the increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations in causing trends in the thermosphere and ionosphere (T-I). Recent work...- publication PDF

Influence of volcanic eruptions on the climate of the Asian monsoon region
Several state-of-the-art general circulation models (GCMs) predict that large volcanic eruptions should result in anomalous dry conditions throughout much of monsoon Asia. Here,...- publication PDF

A hybrid-3D hillslope hydrological model for use in Earth system models
Hillslope-scale rainfall-runoff processes leading to a fast catchment response are not explicitly included in land surface models (LSMs) for use in earth system models (ESMs)...- publication PDF

Simulated trends in ionosphere-thermosphere climate due to predicted main...
The strength and structure of the Earth's magnetic field is gradually changing. During the next 50 years the dipole moment is predicted to decrease by 3.5%, with the South...- publication PDF

How would the twenty-first-century warming influence Pacific decadal...
Decadal climate variability of sea surface temperature (SST) over the Pacific Ocean can be characterized by interdecadal Pacific oscillation (IPO) or Pacific decadal oscillation...- publication PDF

Developing spring wheat in the Noah-MP land surface model (v4.4) for growing...
The US Northern Great Plains and the Canadian Prairies are known as the world's breadbaskets for their large spring wheat production and exports to the world. It is essential to...- publication PDF

Mid-Pliocene West African Monsoon rainfall as simulated in the PlioMIP2 ensemble
The mid-Pliocene warm period (mPWP; similar to 3.2 million years ago) is seen as the most recent time period characterized by a warm climate state, with similar to modern...- publication PDF

An evaluation of a hybrid, terrain-following vertical coordinate in the...
A new hybrid, sigma-pressure vertical coordinate was recently added to the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model in an effort to reduce numerical noise in the model...- publication PDF
