Desert dust and anthropogenic aerosol interactions in the Community Climate System Model coupled-carbon-climate model [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2011 Coupled-carbon-climate simulations are an essential tool for predicting the impact of human activity onto the climate and biogeochemistry. Here we incorporate prognostic desert dust and anthropogenic aerosols into the CCSM3.1 coupled carbon-climate model

Desert Amplification in a Warming Climate [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractHere I analyze the observed and projected surface temperature anomalies over land between 50°S-50°N for the period 1950–2099 by large-scale ecoregion and find strongest warming consistently and persistently seen over driest ecoregions such as the Sahara desert and the Arabian Peninsula during various 30-year periods, pointing to desert ...

Monitoring the daily evolution and extent of snow drought [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Snow droughts are commonly defined as below-average snowpack at a point in time, typically 1 April in the western United States (wUS). This definition is valuable for interpreting the state of the snowpack but obscures the temporal evolution of snow ...
