Dec 9, 2024 A new paper led by Heng Quan, third-year graduate student of Princeton University, is published in Journal of Climate. In this paper, Heng made a convincing case for weaker horizontal temperature gradients in a warmer climate, extending our fundamental understanding for tropical atmospheric dynamics that is based on the weak-temperature-gradient approximation.
Nov 5, 2024 A new perspective piece led by Dr. Mike Byrne from the University of St Andrews, discussing the use of theory and idealized modeling to advance land-climate science, has been published. Read the article here.
Apr 14, 2024 Our paper, detailing a physics-based statistical model for the annual maximum wet-bulb temperature (TWmax) in the tropics, is out. See TWmax predictions for 2024 based on the methodology under the “forecast” tab.
Mar 14, 2023 My paper with Bill Boos on midlatitude extreme temperatures is published in PNAS. We proposed a theory for an upper bound of surface air temperatures. Read here.
