      The transfer of water and energy fluxes between the ground and the atmosphere is influenced by soil moisture (SM), which is an important factor in land surface dynamics. Accurate representation of SM over permafrost-affected ...

    • Limited Influence of Localized Tropical Sea-Surface Temperatures on Moisture Transport into the Arctic 

      Dunn-Sigouin, Etienne; Li, Camille; Kushner, Paul J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Arctic moisture transport is dominated by planetary-scale waves in reanalysis. Planetary waves are influenced by localized Sea-Surface Temperature (SST) features such as the tropical warm pool. Here, an aquaplanet model ...

    • A Linear Model for Orographic Precipitation in meteorological and climatological downscaling 

      Caroletti, Giulio Nils (Doctoral thesis, 2015-06-24)
      Orographic precipitation has always been a major field of study in atmospheric sciences, because of its major role in the water budget and its influence on environmental hazards like floods and droughts - and thus on human ...

    • The linear stationary wave response to Arctic amplification related heating 

      Sellevold, Raymond (Master thesis, 2015-06-01)
      There has been a raft of manuscripts which claim to show that Arctic amplification (AA) is responsible for changes in the large-scale wintertime midlatitude atmospheric circulation. Responses to these studies have shown ...

    • The link between eddy-driven jet variability and weather regimes in the North Atlantic-European sector 

      Madonna, Erica; Li, Camille; Grams, Christian M; Woollings, Tim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10)
      This study reconciles two perspectives on wintertime atmospheric variability in the North Atlantic–European sector: the zonal‐mean framework comprising three preferred locations of the eddy‐driven jet (southern, central, ...

    • Linking Instantaneous and Climatological Perspectives on Eddy-Driven and Subtropical Jets 

      Spensberger, Clemens; Li, Camille; Spengler, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The distinction between eddy-driven and subtropical jets is conceptually important and well-founded based on different driving mechanisms and dominant types of variability. This climatological perspective may be augmented ...

    • Linking Northern High-Latitude Cryospheric Changes to Large-Scale Atmospheric Circulation 

      Knudsen, Erlend Moster (Doctoral thesis, 2015-03-20)
      Warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe, the northern high-latitudes arguably show the clearest evidences of observed and projected climate changes. Two of these are the rapid loss of Arctic sea ice and the shrinking ...
