Reducing Climatology Bias in an Ocean–Atmosphere CGCM with Improved Coupling Physics [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Climate, 2005
Abstract The cold tongue in the tropical Pacific extends too far west in most current ocean–atmosphere coupled GCMs (CGCMs). This bias also exists in the relatively high-resolution SINTEX-F CGCM despite its remarkable performance of simulating ENSO variations.

Global and regional emissions estimates for N2O [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present a comprehensive estimate of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions using observations and models from 1995 to 2008. High-frequency records of tropospheric N2O are available from measurements at Cape Grim, Tasmania; Cape Matatula, American Samoa; Ragged

Global and regional emission estimates for HCFC-22 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
HCFC-22 (CHClF[subscript 2], chlorodifluoromethane) is an ozone-depleting substance (ODS) as well as a significant greenhouse gas (GHG). HCFC-22 has been used widely as a refrigerant fluid in cooling and air-conditioning equipment since the 1960s, and it

Tropical Atlantic Mixed Layer Buoyancy Seasonality: Atmospheric and Oceanic Physical Processes Contributions [PDF]

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2020
This study investigates the physical processes controlling the mixed layer buoyancy using a regional configuration of an ocean general circulation model. Processes are quantified by using a linearized equation of state, a mixed-layer heat, and a salt budget. Model results correctly reproduce the observed seasonal near-surface density tendencies.

Atmospheric and oceanic dust fluxes in the northeastern tropical Atlantic Ocean: how close a coupling? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
. Atmospheric inputs to the ocean of dust originating from Africa are compared with downward dust flux in the oceanic water column. Atmospheric fluxes were estimated using remote-sensing-derived dust optical thickness and parameters from a transport ...

The impact of aerosol hygroscopic growth on the single-scattering albedo and its application on the NO2 photolysis rate coefficient [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014
Hygroscopic growth of aerosol particles can significantly affect their single-scattering albedo (ω), and consequently alters the aerosol effect on tropospheric photochemistry.

Estimation of nighttime aerosol optical depths using the ground-based microwave radiometer [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Measurement Techniques
Aerosol optical depth (AOD) is a crucial parameter for understanding the impact of aerosols on Earth's atmosphere and air quality. Nevertheless, most existing remote sensing techniques rely on the shortwave spectrum, precluding nighttime measurements ...

Diurnal variations of aerosol optical properties in the North China Plain and their influences on the estimates of direct aerosol radiative effect [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015
In this paper, the diurnal variations of aerosol optical properties and their influences on the estimation of daily average direct aerosol radiative effect (DARE) in the North China Plain (NCP) are investigated based on in situ measurements from Haze in ...

Origins of multi-decadal variability in sudden stratospheric warmings [PDF]

open access: yesWeather and Climate Dynamics, 2021
Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are major disruptions of the Northern Hemisphere (NH) stratospheric polar vortex and occur on average approximately six times per decade in observation-based records.
