The devil is in the details: Application of emulation-based data assimilation techniques to constrain a dynamic ecosystem model
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2020) -
A Diagnostic Scheme for Separating Curvature and Along-Flow Speed Change Contributions to Middle Latitude, Synoptic-Scale Vertical Motions
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2020) -
A different peat perspective: Quantifying tropical peatland ecosystem variables from the ground and from space
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2025)Peatlands are ecosystems that store immense amounts of carbon in their soil and therefore play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. However, due to climate change and anthropogenic disturbance, these ecosystems are ... -
The effects of aerosol-cloud interactions on warm cloud properties
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2020) -
Environmental Conditions Impacting Late-Summer Sea Ice Concentration Predictability in the Northwest Passage
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2024)The Northwest Passage, located in the Canadian Archipelago, is a conglomerate of sea routes that connect the eastern and western sides of the North American continent. Historically, sea ice in the region has made it difficult ... -
Environmental controls of vertical motion over the maritime tropics
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2023)Understanding what controls vertical motion profile shape is fundamental to understanding tropical precipitation patterns. There is not a comprehensive understanding of what controls the top-heaviness of vertical motion ... -
Evaluating near-storm environmental moisture relative to tropical deep convection growth using CPEX-CV airborne data
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2024)Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) associated with African easterly waves (AEWs) that propagate and intensify over the tropical East Atlantic may serve as precursors for tropical cyclones. Previous studies utilizing ... -
Evaluating the performance of PATMOS-x in global and regional analyses of clouds as they relate to Earth’s planetary albedo
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2025)In 2023, the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System - Energy Balanced and Filled (CERES-EBAF) dataset revealed a record low planetary albedo. Due to the dominant role of clouds in Earth’s albedo, we hypothesize that ... -
Examining the links between the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation, the Madden-Julian Oscillation, and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation using linear inverse modeling
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2023) -
Governing thermodynamic ttructure of Tropical East Pacific and African Easterly Waves and their representation in CMIP6 models
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2024)Easterly Waves (EWs) are convectively coupled systems of alternating high and low pressure that propagate westward in the Tropics with a period of 3-6 days and horizontal scale of ∼3000 km. They are most commonly observed ... -
Impact of tropical and boreal biomass burning on atmospheric composition
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2024)Atmospheric trace gases and aerosols emitted from biomass burning significantly influence atmospheric composition globally and locally on short-term and climatological time scales. Global chemical transport models (CTMs) ... -
The Impacts of Climate Change on Building Design Conditions
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2020) -
Impacts of summer cyclones on Arctic sea ice
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2022) -
Impacts of temperature-dependent heating demand on wintertime emissions
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2025)Most residences are heated by burning fuels, such as natural gas, heating oil, or wood, which emits combustion byproducts into the atmosphere. Space heating demand is dependent on outdoor temperatures, so the impact of ... -
The influence of climate change on Arctic atmospheric rivers and the impacts on sea ice
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2023) -
The influence of interannual carbon variability on long-term sequestration in proximate northern forests and wetlands
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2022) -
The influence of thermodynamic versus dynamic processes on sea ice thickness in observations and models
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2022) -
Investigating formaldehyde to nitrogen dioxide ratios using satellite, in situ, and air quality modeling data
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2021) -
Investigating the diurnal cycle in 9 km ECMWF potential vorticity variability in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere over Gulf Coast tropical cyclones
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2024-04-30) -
Investigating the influence of atmospheric CO2, bathymetry, and salinity on Archean Ocean circulation
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2025)During part of the Archean Eon (4 to 2.5 billion years ago), it is estimated that Earth experienced near-global ocean coverage. Little is known about the ocean during this time,but it coincides with—and may have been ...
