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

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

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 ... -
Invisible Threads: How Jet Stream Shifts areAmplifying Clear Air Turbulence in U.S.Aviation (1980 - 2023)
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2025)Over the last 10 years, there has been a noticeable increase in Clear Air Turbulence (CAT)incidents reported by commercial airlines, including several recent accidents that have resulted in passenger injuries. This trend ... -
Land-atmosphere interactions over the Indonesian Maritime Continent
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2023)The “Maritime Continent” (MC) is the largest archipelago in the tropical region, consisting of over 22,000 islands and inhabited by more than 400 million people. This region has a significant impact on global atmospheric ... -
Low Earth orbit sounder retrieval products at geostationary Earth orbit spatial and temporal scales

A macrosystems approach towards improved understanding of interactions between forest management, structure, function and climate change, and implications for the terrestrial carbon cycle
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2023)Forests constitute a significant global carbon sink that continues to expand in size, in addition to supporting a range of environmental, economic, and social co-benefits. Forests interact with the overlying atmosphere ... -

Modeling and assessing the impact of nocturnal NOx chemistry on air quality
(2024)Nitrogen oxides (NOx ≡ NO + NO2) are air pollutants in the United States because they have direct human health impacts and play a central role in the production of secondary pollutants like ozone and particle pollution. ...
