Better Monitoring is Needed for Climate Change in the Upper Atmosphere 

by Donald Wuebbles 27 March 202526 March 2025

A new commentary calls for a better understanding of the impacts of climate change and anthropogenic emissions on long-term trends of the middle and upper atmosphere through enhanced observations and monitoring capabilities.

Buffering by Ammonia Sustains Sulfate Aerosol Production

by Donald Wuebbles 25 July 202424 July 2024

A new method for evaluating the role of multiphase buffering and acidification reactions on aerosol pH finds that the buffering effect sustains sulfate production from high pH-favored multiphase reactions.

Framing the Next Decadal Survey for a Warming World

by Donald Wuebbles 26 March 202422 March 2024

The next decadal survey (DS28) will be framed by a rapidly changing world, and will be critical to consider observational needs of the 2030s-2040s, a world increasingly dominated by climate extremes.

Using Machine Learning to Reconstruct Cloud-Obscured Dust Plumes

by Donald Wuebbles 2 February 20241 February 2024

Satellite-observed dust plumes from North Africa are frequently obscured by clouds, but a new study uses machine learning to reconstruct dust patterns, demonstrating a new way to validate dust forecasts.

Using Bayesian Estimation to Improve Methane Inventories

by Donald Wuebbles 21 August 202315 August 2023

A Bayesian, optimal estimation evaluation of state-of-the-art methane inventory with satellite-based emissions from 2009 to 2018 finds substantial differences for livestock, rice, and coal emissions.

Constraints Can Reduce Regional Climate Projection Uncertainty

by Donald Wuebbles 26 July 202325 July 2023

Climate projections are uncertain because we don’t exactly know how the climate system responds to human actions, but combining interdisciplinary results can reduce uncertainty in future planning.

Winter Arctic Heatwave Drives Summer Impacts in Siberia

by Donald Wuebbles 21 December 202221 December 2022

A cascade of land-atmosphere interactions resulting from a winter heatwave in Siberia led to significant summer impacts that further exacerbated the heatwave effects on the region.
