When Less is More—The Moon Sheds Light on Clouds at Night

by Jonathan H. Jiang 12 April 202226 April 2022

Shining light into the dark reveals the unseen, but in some cases, it changes our perception of reality. Through moonlight we learn how the environment tricks our ways of finding nocturnal clouds.

Polar Vortex Linked to Atmospheric Circulation at Daily Scale

by Jonathan H. Jiang 13 October 202129 March 2022

A simplified representation of polar vortex at monthly scale was revised using a new method, and its daily association with air-sea teleconnections was analyzed to study weather impacts.
