A mechanistically credible, poleward shift in warm-season precipitation...
Global and regional climate model ensembles project that the annual cycle of rainfall over the southern Great Plains (SGP) will amplify by midcentury. Models indicate that warm-...- publication PDF

Estimating the fraction of winter orographic precipitation produced under...
Annual precipitation increases of 10% or more are often quoted for the impact of winter orographic cloud seeding; however, establishing the basis for such values is problematic...- publication PDF

Joint impact of North and South Pacific extratropical atmospheric...
Previous studies have indicated that boreal winter subtropical and extratropical sea surface pressure (SLP) anomalies over both the North and South Pacific are significantly...- publication PDF

A unified modeling approach to climate system prediction
There is a new perspective of a continuum of prediction problems, with a blurring of the distinction between short-term predictions and long-term climate projections. At the...- publication PDF

Future trends in stratosphere-to-troposphere transport in CCMI models
One of the key questions in the air quality and climate sciences is how tropospheric ozone concentrations will change in the future. This will depend on two factors: changes in...- publication PDF

The effect of rapid adjustments to halocarbons and N2O on radiative forcing
Rapid adjustments occur after initial perturbation of an external climate driver (e.g., CO2) and involve changes in, e.g. atmospheric temperature, water vapour and clouds,...- publication PDF

A low upper limit on the subsurface rise speed of solar active regions
Magnetic field emerges at the surface of the Sun as sunspots and active regions. This process generates a poloidal magnetic field from a rising toroidal flux tube; it is a...- publication PDF
