Comparison of direct covariance flux measurements from an offshore tower and a buoy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-05)Direct covariance flux (DCF) measurements taken from floating platforms are contaminated by wave-induced platform motions that need to be removed before computation of the turbulent fluxes. Several correction algorithms ... -
An Equatorial–Extratropical Dipole Structure of the Atlantic Niño
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Equatorial Atlantic variability is dominated by the Atlantic Niño peaking during the boreal summer. Studies have shown robust links of the Atlantic Niño to fluctuations of the St. Helena subtropical anticyclone and Benguela ... -
Influence of synoptic weather patterns on solar irradiance variability in northern Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-05)Observations have revealed strong variability of shortwave (SW) irradiance at Earth’s surface on decadal time scales, referred to as global dimming and brightening. Previous studies have attributed the dimming and brightening ...
