Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021 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.

Characterising Vento Norte Downslope Windstorms and Their Thermal Impacts in Southern Brazil
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Using 20 years of hourly INMET observations in Santa Maria (southern Brazil), we identify 189 Vento Norte (VNOR) downslope windstorms, ~72% in winter, marked by abrupt warming, drying and strong northerly gusts. Across five biometeorological indices (TEFW, TDI, THI, HDI, Humidex), VNOR hours consistently show significantly higher thermal discomfort ...

Ensemble of Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium Simulations Near the Aggregated and Scattered Boundary
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 An ensemble of 10 radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE) simulations near the sharp transition zone between scattered and aggregated states are examined in a square‐domain cloud‐resolving model.

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.The Galápagos Archipelago's near‐surface climate is primarily influenced by interannual El Niño‐Southern Oscillation variability, with no statistical evidence for long‐term trends in air temperature, humidity, or precipitation. While tropospheric warming and increased atmospheric stability are observed, these trends are largely decoupled from near ...

Convective Rainfall in Amazonia and Adjacent Tropics
Atmospheric and Climate Sciences, 2015 Hourly rainfall estimates from integrated satellite data are used to build a dynamically based climatology of convectively generated rainfall across South America, including tropical, sub-tropical and oceanic regions. Herein, we focus on 0S to 15S, including greater Amazon and NE Brazil leeward of the South Atlantic Ocean.

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Extreme Hourly Rainfall in the Hawaiian Islands
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.The extreme rainfall trends in Hawaiʻi were revealed by hourly rainfall data: Across islands, Kauaʻi and Hawaiʻi Island had larger events at a return period. Annual maximum series of 15 gauges showed significant positive trends. While extreme rainfall trends show increases or decreases regionally, the trends varied with rainfall duration.

Forcing Convection to Aggregate Using Diabatic Heating Perturbations
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021 Tropical deep convection can aggregate into large clusters, which can have impacts on the local humidity and precipitation. Sea surface temperature (SST) gradients have been shown to organize convection, yet there has been little work done to investigate

Simulation of the diurnal variation of the tropical convection
Acta Physica Sinica, 2009 The diurnal variation of the tropical convection is investigated using hourly outputs from a two-dimensional cloud-resolving model simulation. The features of cloud microphysics in tropical convections are proposed by the contrastive analysis of the simulation. The model is forced by the observational data obtained from tropical ocean global atmosphere

A Zonal‐Meridional Projection Method for Quantifying Global Land‐Ocean Moisture Transport
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.We present a physically consistent and computationally efficient method to quantify global coastal moisture transport by projecting vertically integrated moisture flux onto signed land–ocean boundary segments. The signed projection naturally distinguishes ocean‐to‐land inflow and land‐to‐ocean outflow without explicit directional classification ...

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Extreme precipitation trends detected in Paraná, Southern Brazil (1983–2024), are strongly conditioned by the dataset used, with reanalyses indicating coherent inland drying and longer dry spells, observations retaining stronger mesoscale heterogeneity, and satellite products often showing declines in short‐duration extremes. Monthly diagnostics reveal
