The Astrophysical JournalThe nonlinear coupling between stellar convection and rotation is of great interest because it relates to understanding both stellar evolution and activity. We investigate the influence of rotation and the Coriolis force on the dynamics and thermodynamic

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

Convection and Appalachian cold-air damming
, 2009 In the southeastern U.S., cold-air damming (CAD) is a common occurrence to the east of the Appalachian Mountains, especially during the cool season.

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Using a large and novel array of instruments on five rockwalls in northern Gaspesia, their respective surface energy balances were calculated and their thermal regimes were measured and modeled to depths exceeding the seasonal frost penetration.

Environmental Research Letters, 2018 Cloud feedbacks could influence significantly the overall response of the climate system to global warming. Here we study the response of warm convective clouds to a uniform temperature change under constant relative humidity (RH) conditions.

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The existence of permafrost was explored at tropical latitude on Nevado Coropuna (southern Peruvian Andes) using a combination of ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) and vertical electrical sounding (VES) in order to strengthen the mutual validation of data processing and interpretation.

Inverse problems in mantle convection : models, algorithms, and applications
, 2013 textMantle convection is the principal control on the thermal and geological evolution of the earth, including the motion of the tectonic plates, which in turn influences earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.

Intensity dependence of El Niño and La Niña evolution and mixed‐layer heat‐budget processes
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) intensity modulates the spatial, temporal, and dynamical evolution of events strongly. El Niño SST anomalies shift westward with decreasing intensity, while La Niña anomalies remain spatially fixed. Stronger events initiate earlier and persist longer than weak events.

Effects of aerosol on shallow convective clouds
, 2021 Clouds and aerosols are deeply significant components of the Earth's atmosphere and climate system. Yet, aerosol-cloud interactions, particularly for shallow convective clouds, remain poorly understood and highly uncertain. Many varied, and often conflicting, hypotheses of aerosol effects on shallow clouds have been proposed, reflecting the myriad ...
