Convective Self-Aggregation Occurs Without Radiative Feedbacks in Warm Climates [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Previous research showed that radiative feedbacks are essential to the spontaneous development of convective aggregation (CSA) in idealized atmosphere models.

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 ...

Contributions to regional precipitation change and its polar-amplified pattern under warming
Environmental Research: Climate, 2023 The polar regions are predicted to experience the largest relative change in precipitation in response to increased greenhouse-gas concentrations, where a substantial absolute increase in precipitation coincides with small precipitation rates in the ...

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.

Surface and top-of-atmosphere radiative feedback kernels for CESM-CAM5 [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2018 Radiative kernels at the top of the atmosphere are useful for decomposing changes in atmospheric radiative fluxes due to feedbacks from atmosphere and surface temperature, water vapor, and surface albedo.

Modeling the radiative effects of desert dust on weather and regional climate [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013 Mineral dust aerosols exert a significant effect on both solar and terrestrial radiation. By absorbing and scattering, the solar radiation aerosols reduce the amount of energy reaching the surface.
