Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 128, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 Abstract During a volcanic crisis, high‐rate, localized deformation can indicate magma close to the surface, with important implications for eruption forecasting. However, only a few such examples have been reported, because frequent, dense monitoring is needed.

Quantifying Parametric Uncertainty Effects on Tropical Cloud Fraction in an AGCM
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023 Abstract The underestimation of cloud fraction, especially the low stratus cloud (LSC) fraction over the eastern oceans, remains a problem in most atmospheric global climate models. This study investigated potential improvements through perturbing nine moist physical parameters, using uniform sampling and Latin hypercube sampling methods, and ...

The Earth‐Observing Aqua Satellite Mission: 20 Years and Counting
Earth and Space Science, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022 Abstract The Earth‐observing Aqua spacecraft was launched on 4 May 2002 and has now completed 20 years of collecting and transmitting data regarding the Earth's radiation budget, atmosphere, oceans, land, and ice. Although launched with a design life of 6 years, four of its instruments continue to operate and provide high‐quality data streams more than

Hydrological Processes, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022 Rainforest catchment dominated by quick near‐surface runoff generation. Tracer‐aided modelling revealed transit times and water flux ages of less than 3 months old. Climate variability exerts a limited control on mixing of waters. Young water ages result from quick runoff generation with limited mixing, high rainfall volumes and groundwater losses ...
