The lightness of water vapor helps to stabilize tropical climate. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2020 Moist air is lighter than dry air at the same temperature, pressure, and volume because the molecular weight of water is less than that of dry air. We call this the vapor buoyancy effect.

Understanding land surface response to changing South Asian monsoon in a warming climate [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2015 Recent studies have drawn attention to a significant weakening trend of the South Asian monsoon circulation and an associated decrease in regional rainfall during the last few decades. While surface temperatures over the region have steadily risen during

Soil moisture revamps the temperature extremes in a warming climate over India
npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023 Soil moisture (SM) plays a crucial role in altering climate extremes through complex land-atmosphere feedback processes. In the present study, we investigated the impact of SM perturbations on temperature extremes (ExT) over India for the historical ...

Gap-filling of ocean color over the tropical Indian Ocean using Monte-Carlo method
Scientific Reports, 2022 Continuous remote-sensed daily fields of ocean color now span over two decades; however, it still remains a challenge to examine the ocean ecosystem processes, e.g., phenology, at temporal frequencies of less than a month.

Contrasting patterns of litterfall seasonality and seasonal changes in litter decomposability in a tropical rainforest region [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 The seasonality of litter inputs in forests has important implications for understanding ecosystem processes and biogeochemical cycles. We quantified the drivers of seasonality in litterfall and leaf decomposability using plots throughout the Australian ...

The outflow of Asian biomass burning carbonaceous aerosol into the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere in spring: radiative effects seen in a global model [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 Biomass burning (BB) over Asia is a strong source of carbonaceous aerosols during spring. From ECHAM6–HAMMOZ model simulations and satellite observations, we show that there is an outflow of Asian BB carbonaceous aerosols into the upper troposphere and ...
