Constraining climate model projections with observations amplifies future runoff declines

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Climate models are increasingly used to inform water availability projections at regional scales. However, the models’ own runoff sensitivities—the change in runoff per unit change of precipitation or temperature—are often biased, which can degrade their

Reduced exposure to extreme precipitation from 0.5 °C less warming in global land monsoon regions

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The populous global land monsoon region has been suffering from extreme precipitation. Here, the authors show that limiting global warming to 1.5 °C instead of 2 °C could reduce areal and population exposures to baseline once-in-20-year rainfall extremes

Improvements in Wintertime Surface Temperature Variability in the Community Earth System Model Version 2 (CESM2) Related to the Representation of Snow Density

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022
The Community Earth System Model (CESM) is widely used for the prediction and understanding of climate variability and change. Accurate simulation of the behavior of near surface air temperature (T2m) is critical in such a model for addressing societally

Future surface mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet and its influence on sea level change, simulated by a regional atmospheric climate model

open access: yes, 2013
A regional atmospheric climate model with multi-layer snow module (RACMO2) is forced at the lateral boundaries by global climate model (GCM) data to assess the future climate and surface mass balance (SMB) of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS).

Atmospheric forcing of rapid marine-terminating glacier retreat in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The Canadian Arctic Archipelago contains >300 glaciers that terminate in the ocean, but little is known about changes in their frontal positions in response to recent changes in the ocean-climate system.

Momentum Budget of the atmospheric boundary layer over the Greenland ice sheet and its surrounding seas

open access: yes, 2011
The atmospheric circulation patterns over the Greenland ice sheet and its surrounding seas are studied by explicitly calculating the momentum budget components, using data of a high‐resolution regional atmospheric climate model.

The Role of Nonlinear Energy Advection in Forming Asymmetric Structure of ENSO Teleconnections Over the North Pacific and North America

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
In boreal winter, the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO)‐induced Pacific‐North American (PNA) teleconnection pattern is farther westward during La Niña relative to that in El Niño, causing discernible distinct climate implications.

Characteristics of the modelled meteoric freshwater budget of the western Antarctic Peninsula [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Rapid climatic changes in the western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) have led to considerable changes in the meteoric freshwater input into the surrounding ocean, with implications for ocean circulation, the marine ecosystem and sea-level rise. In this study,

Structure and dynamics of the summertime atmospheric boundary layer over the Antarctic plateau: 2. Heat, moisture, and momentum budgets

open access: yes, 2006
This paper presents the summertime budgets of heat, moisture and momentum in the atmospheric boundary layer at Kohnen base (75 000S, 0 040E, 2892 m above sea level), located in the interior of East Antarctica.

Structure and dynamics of the summertime atmospheric boundary layer over the Antarctic plateau: 1. Measurements and model validation

open access: yes, 2006
Profile mast, tethersonde and radiosonde measurements are used to describe the structure and dynamics of the summertime atmospheric boundary layer over the slightly sloping snow surface at Kohnen base (75°00'S, 0°04'E, 2892 m above sea level), located on
