Observing Ocean‐Atmosphere Fluxes From Autonomous Surface Vehicles
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 12, 28 June 2025.Abstract With the increasing use of autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) to characterize the marine atmospheric boundary layer, better understanding and evaluation of the observations collected from these platforms is needed. We present here unique comparisons of measurements of bulk properties and air‐sea fluxes collected from ASVs right above the sea ...

Model sensitivity studies regarding the role of the retention coefficient for the scavenging and redistribution of highly soluble trace gases by deep convective cloud systems [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2007 The role of the retention coefficient (i.e. the fraction of a dissolved trace gas which is retained in hydrometeors during freezing) for the scavenging and redistribution of highly soluble trace gases by deep convective cloud systems is investigated ...

Comparison of stochastic parameterisation approaches in a single-column model [PDF]
, 2009 We discuss and test the potential usefulness of single-column models (SCMs) for the testing of stochastic physics schemes that have been proposed for use in general circulation models (GCMs).

What controls the onset of winter stratification in a deep, dimictic lake?
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 69, Issue 12, Page 2791-2800, December 2024.Abstract The transition from summer stratification to winter stratification is considered for deep, dimictic Lake Superior. The fall transition is dynamically distinct from the better‐studied spring transition; it is characterized by a wind‐driven collapse of weakening summer stratification, a surface‐cooling–driven period during which the water column

Sensitivity of satellite observations for freshly produced lightning NOx [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2009 In this study, we analyse the sensitivity of nadir viewing satellite observations in the visible range to freshly produced lightning NOx. This is a particular challenge due to the complex and highly variable conditions of meteorology, (photo-) chemistry,

Impact of Surface Turbulent Fluxes on the Formation of Roll Vortices in a Mediterranean Windstorm
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 129, Issue 22, 28 November 2024.Abstract Roll vortices can have a significant influence on the exchanges of momentum, sensible heat and moisture throughout the boundary layer. They have been shown to reinforce air‐sea interactions under strong wind conditions. This raises the question of how air‐sea exchanges can, in turn, affect the roll vortices.

Moist static energy: definition, reference constants, a conservation law, and effects on buoyancy [PDF]
, 2017 Atmospheric thermodynamic variables are commonly computed under approximations. Although exact formulas are available, they are rarely used. This paper addresses some potential issues arising when using approximate formulas by taking the moist static ...

Diurnal Variations of Tropical Convection Observed during the TOGA-COARE.
Journal of the Meteorological Society of Japan. Ser. II, 2001 Diurnal variations of tropical convection in the western Pacific are examined by using the data observed during the Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere-Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA-COARE) Intensive Observing Period (IOP) (November 1992 to February 1993).
