The Southern Hemisphere midlatitude circulation response to rapid...
Rapid adjustments-the response of meteorology to external forcing while sea surface temperatures (SST) and sea ice are held fixed-can affect the midlatitude circulation and...- publication PDF

Mode identification in rapidly rotating stars
Recent calculations of pulsation modes in rapidly rotating polytropic models and models based on the Self-Consistent Field method have shown that the frequency spectrum of low...- publication PDF

High-latitude cooling associated with landscape changes from North American...
Fires in the boreal forests of North America are generally stand-replacing, killing the majority of trees and initiating succession that may last over a century. Functional...- publication PDF

Observations of glyoxal and formaldehyde as metrics for the anthropogenic...
We present simultaneous fast, in-situ measurements of formaldehyde and glyoxal from two rural campaigns, BEARPEX 2009 and BEACHON-ROCS, both located in Pinus Ponderosa forests...- publication PDF

Mass yields of secondary organic aerosols from the oxidation of alpha-pinene...
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a significant source of global secondary organic aerosol (SOA); however, quantifying their aerosol forming potential remains a...- publication PDF

Examining the impacts of great lakes temperature perturbations on simulated...
Most inland water bodies are not resolved by general circulation models, requiring that lake surface temperatures be estimated. Given the large spatial and temporal variability...- publication PDF

Error growth in a whole atmosphere climate model
It has been well established that the atmosphere is chaotic by nature and thus has a finite limit of predictability. The chaotic divergence of initial conditions and the...- publication PDF

A proposed mechanism for asymmetric duration of El Niño and La Niña
El Niño and La Niña exhibit significant asymmetry not only in their spatial structure but also in their duration. Most El Niños terminate rapidly after maturing near the end of...- publication PDF

100 years of progress in applied meteorology
Although atmospheric observing systems were already an important part of meteorology before the American Meteorological Society was established in 1919, the past 100 years have...- publication PDF

The impact of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation on maximum temperature extremes
The impact of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on temperature extremes is examined in both observations and coupled climate model simulations. HadEX2, a newly developed...- publication PDF

Secondary planetary waves in the middle and upper atmosphere following the...
The role of planetary waves in causing stratospheric sudden warmings (SSWs) is well understood and quantified. However, recent studies have indicated that secondary planetary...- publication PDF

Balloon Shapes and Stresses Below the Design Altitude
Design data for natural-shape balloons, published in 1952, have been used to design thousands of balloons. These data, however, describe the balloon only at its float altitude....- publication PDF

The impact of wind corrections and ocean-current influence on wind stress...
Bias correction of reanalysis-based wind stress using scatterometer derived equivalent neutral wind has been a common practice in producing the forcing datasets used in recent...- publication PDF

Development of the storm‐induced ionospheric irregularities at equatorial...
Can geomagnetic storms during low solar activity trigger formation of extreme equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) that affect low and midlatitudes? We analyzed the ionospheric...- publication PDF

On the interaction of internal gravity waves with a magnetic field - 1....
We present results from numerical simulations of the interaction of internal gravity waves (IGW) with a magnetic field. In accordance with the dispersion relation governing IGW...- publication PDF

Assessing the ensemble spread-error relationship
The potential ability of an ensemble prediction system (EPS) to represent its own varying forecast error provides strong motivation to produce an EPS over a less expensive...- publication PDF

Robustness of the Mann, Bradley, Hughes reconstruction of northern...
The Mann et al. ( 1998) Northern Hemisphere annual temperature reconstruction over 1400-1980 is examined in light of recent criticisms concerning the nature and processing of...- publication PDF
