Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023 Radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE) is particularly well suited for studying tropical deep‐convection, a regime of clouds that contributes some of the highest uncertainties to the estimates of total cloud feedback.

Insights from a refined decomposition of cloud feedbacks
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Decomposing cloud feedback into components due to changes in several gross cloud properties provides valuable insights into its physical causes. Here we present a refined decomposition that separately considers changes in free tropospheric and low cloud ...

Cloud Feedbacks from CanESM2 to CanESM5.0 and their influence on climate sensitivity [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2021 The newest iteration of the Canadian Earth System Model (CanESM5.0.3) has an effective climate sensitivity (EffCS) of 5.65 K, which is a 54 % increase relative to the model's previous version (CanESM2 – 3.67 K), and the highest sensitivity of all current

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 We show that the seasonal cycles of clouds over the mid‐latitude oceans in the Northern Hemisphere are predictors of the responses of clouds to increasing sea‐surface temperatures globally.

Observationally Constrained Cloud Phase Unmasks Orbitally Driven Climate Feedbacks
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 The mechanisms which amplify orbitally driven changes in insolation and drive the glacial cycles of the past 2.6 million years, the Pleistocene, are poorly understood.

Environmental Research Communications, 2023 In the Earth system models (ESMs) participating in the Coupled Models Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6), the tropical low-cloud feedback is 50% more positive than its predecessors (CMIP5) and continues to dominate the spread in simulated climate ...

Investigating the impact of cloud-radiative feedbacks on tropical precipitation extremes
npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2021 Although societally important, extreme precipitation is difficult to represent in climate models. This study shows one robust aspect of extreme precipitation across models: extreme precipitation over tropical oceans is strengthened through a positive ...

Acidity and the multiphase chemistry of atmospheric aqueous particles and clouds [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 The acidity of aqueous atmospheric solutions is a key parameter driving both the partitioning of semi-volatile acidic and basic trace gases and their aqueous-phase chemistry.
