Persistent radiative states in the Arctic: Drivers, trends, and model representation
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2025)The Arctic climate is rapidly changing. The ability for the high latitudes to effectively emit longwave radiation to space is vital for shedding excess energy received in the tropics, thus regulating the global energy ... -
A phase plane based perspective of energetics of large scale tropical convection
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2023)Rainfall and convection in the tropics has huge impacts on the lives and livelihood of almost 40 percent of the global population that resides there. However, we still lack a complete understanding of the full spectrum of ... -
The Precipitation and Radiative Responses to Convective Organization in the Tropical North Atlantic
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2019) -
Processes governing the evolution of moist static energy in developing and non-developing African easterly waves
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2023) -
Radiative effects of Arctic clouds in observations and models
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2021) -
Regional warming event in winter on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica as observed by UW-Madison Automatic Weather Stations
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2022) -
Role of heterogeneous ecosystems in modulating surface-atmosphere transport
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2023) -
The role of large-scale moistening by adiabatic lifting in the Madden-Julian Oscillation convective onset
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2021) -
Saharan dust impact on radiative heating rate errors inherent in reanalysis data in the African Easterly Wave development region
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2024)Saharan dust outbreaks strongly impact the atmosphere’s energy balance, as their radiative effects can alter atmospheric heating rates by several degrees per day. However, numerical weather prediction models often struggle ... -
A ship-derived climatology of oceanic precipitation, 1950–2019

Spatial and temporal analysis of the Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment (PREFIRE) intersections
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2025)The Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment (PREFIRE) will use two 6U CubeSats to continuously measure spectral far-infrared (FIR) emissions for the first time in the modern satellite era. By strategically ... -
Trends in the waviness of the Southern Hemisphere subtropical and polar jets
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2024-05-07) -
An unusual case of rapid cyclogenesis in the northeast Pacific basin
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2025)In late November 2019, a record-setting extratropical cyclone rapidly intensified in the northeast Pacific basin over a relatively cold sea surface and near steep topography along the United States West Coast. Cyclogenesis ... -
Using multiple scanning angles to improve AERI thermodynamic retrievals
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2021) -
Validation of ice cloud optical thickness retrievals during CAMP2EX and PISTON using the UW-HSRL
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2023) -
Where has all the energy gone? Quantifying advective energy fluxes with dense tower networks
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2024)Accurate and extensive measurements of the exchange of energy between the land surface and atmosphere are needed for building and improving models of the earth’s climate system. The eddy covariance (EC) method, used to ...
