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. |
