Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Long‐term disdrometer observations are utilized to derive Z–R relationships for ‐the Western Pacific tropical cyclones. A hybrid moment‐based approach is employed to determine the interrelationships among pairs of gamma distribution parameters. Enhanced estimates of rainfall rate and slope parameter are obtained using machine‐learning techniques ...

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 27-82., 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.

Dynamical ocean forcing of the Madden-Julian Oscillation at lead times of up to five months [PDF]
, 2011 We show that a simple three-dimensional ocean model linearised about a resting basic state can accurately simulate the dynamical ocean response to wind forcing by the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO).

Anomalous surface currents in the tropical Indian Ocean [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2001 An anomalous climate event occurred in 1997 in the Indian Ocean with severe consequences for the surrounding continental areas. In response to an intensification of the trade winds, a westward gradient of SST and an anomalous reversal of the eastward surface currents with peak velocity anomalies exceeding 1 m/s were evident in boreal autumn.

A pilot variational coupled reanalysis based on the CESAM climate model
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Variational data assimilation of in‐situ and satellite ocean data and reanalysis atmospheric data into an intermediate complexity Earth system model is possible by adjusting the surface fluxes and internal model parameters. This pilot application requires nearly complete information on the atmospheric state for synchronization.

Satellite-observed precipitation and total column water vapor
Frontiers in Environmental ScienceThis study explores the relationship between water vapor and rainfall intensities over three tropical lands (Amazon Basin, Sahel, southern South America) and three tropical ocean regions (Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Niño 4).

A dynamical ocean feedback mechanism for the Madden-Julian Oscillation [PDF]
, 2010 Composite analysis is applied to study the dynamical ocean response to Madden-Julian (MJ) events, measured by anomalies in sea surface height from the merged TOPEX/Poseidon-European Remote Sensing satellite altimetry dataset.

ENSO modulation of tropical Indian Ocean subseasonal variability [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 AbstractIn this study, we use 30 years of retrospective climate model forecasts and observational estimates to show that El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affects the amplitude of subseasonal variability of sea surface temperature (SST) in the southwest Indian Ocean, an important Tropical Intraseasonal Oscillation (TISO) onset region.

The role of soil moisture in the inland penetration of Indian monsoon low‐pressure systems
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We use the Advanced Weather Research and Forecasting model to examine the role of soil moisture in the inland penetration of Indian monsoon low‐pressure systems (LPSs). We find that LPSs penetrate deeply into India despite a dry land surface; however, their inland penetration is adversely affected when there is a reduction in the total surface heat ...
