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.

On the effect of historical SST patterns on radiative feedback
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2022 We investigate the dependence of radiative feedback on the pattern of sea-surface temperature (SST) change in fourteen Atmospheric General Circulation Models (AGCMs) forced with observed variations in SST and sea-ice over the historical record from 1871 to near-present.

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.

Total aerosol effect: radiative forcing or radiative flux perturbation? [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2010 Uncertainties in aerosol radiative forcings, especially those associated with clouds, contribute to a large extent to uncertainties in the total anthropogenic forcing.

Radiative Heating in the Kinetic Mode of AGN Feedback [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 Abstract AGN feedback is now widely believed to play a crucial role in the co-evolution between the central black hole and its host galaxy. Two feedback modes have been identified, namely the radiative and kinetic modes, which correspond to the luminous AGNs and low-luminosity AGNs (LLAGNs), respectively.

Ultraviolet Radiative Feedback on High‐Redshift Protogalaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2006 We use three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations to investigate the effects of a transient photoionizing UV flux on the collapse and cooling of pregalactic clouds. These clouds have masses in the range 105-107 M?, form at high redshifts (z 18), and are assumed to lie within the short-lived cosmological H II regions around the first generation of ...
