Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

A process-based evaluation of biases in extratropical stratosphere–troposphere coupling in subseasonal forecast systems [PDF]
Two-way coupling between the stratosphere and troposphere is recognized as an important source of subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) predictability and can open windows of opportunity for improved forecasts.

The importance of interactive chemistry for stratosphere–troposphere coupling [PDF]
Recent observational and modeling studies suggest that stratospheric ozone depletion not only influences the surface climate in the Southern Hemisphere (SH), but also impacts Northern Hemisphere (NH) spring, which implies a strong interaction between ...

Solar influences on dynamical coupling between the stratosphere and troposphere [PDF]
We use a simplified atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) to investigate the response of the lower atmosphere to thermal perturbations in the lower stratosphere.

The role of convective overshooting clouds in tropical stratosphere–troposphere dynamical coupling [PDF]
This paper investigates the role of deep convection and overshooting convective clouds in stratosphere–troposphere dynamical coupling in the tropics during two large major stratospheric sudden warming events in January 2009 and January 2010.

Atmospheric temperature responses to solar irradiance and geomagnetic activity [PDF]
The relative effects of solar irradiance and geomagnetic activity on the atmospheric temperature anomalies (Ta) are examined from the monthly to interdecadal timescales. Geomagnetic Ap (Ap) signals are found primarily in the stratosphere, while the solar

Gravity waves as a mechanism of troposphere–stratosphere–mesosphere coupling during sudden stratospheric warming [PDF]
The propagation of gravity waves (GWs) and their role in the coupling of the troposphere–stratosphere–mesosphere atmospheric layers during sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) are studied. A standard set of hydrodynamic (HD) equations is used to derive the

Variation in solar irradiance is considered an important factor in natural climate forcing. Variations in the solar UV in particular are now regarded as a major source of decadal variability in the stratosphere, influencing surface climate through ...

Quantifying stratospheric biases and identifying their potential sources in subseasonal forecast systems [PDF]
The stratosphere can be a source of predictability for surface weather on timescales of several weeks to months. However, the potential predictive skill gained from stratospheric variability can be limited by biases in the representation of stratospheric

Planning, implementation, and first results of the Tropical Composition, Cloud and Climate Coupling Experiment (TC4) [PDF]
The Tropical Composition, Cloud and Climate Coupling Experiment (TC4), was based in Costa Rica and Panama during July and August 2007. The NASA ER-2, DC-8, and WB-57F aircraft flew 26 science flights during TC4.
