Is Earth’s Albedo Symmetric Between the Hemispheres?

by Sarah Kang 11 August 202122 April 2022

The two hemispheres feature the same planetary albedo despite a larger land fraction in the north, because storms over the southern ocean are cloudier than their northern counterparts.

Raising Central American Orography Improves Climate Simulation

by Sarah Kang 9 June 20218 March 2022

Elevation of Central American orography significantly reduces the pervasive tropical rainfall bias by blocking the easterlies and consequently warming the northeastern tropical Pacific.

More Clustered Clouds Amplify Tropical Rainfall Extremes

by Sarah Kang 15 October 202015 October 2020

Both satellite observations and model simulations reveal that more aggregated convection amplifies the increase in extreme rainfall events on a year-to-year basis.

Can We Observe How Cloud Clustering Affects the Radiation Budget?

by Sarah Kang 20 August 20208 March 2022

Satellite observational analysis confirms that lower-atmospheric stability and cloud clustering are major factors modulating the tropical radiation budget that had been suggested by modeling studies.

Why Does Ocean Warming Pattern Matter?

by Sarah Kang 5 March 202016 December 2021

Ocean warming patterns are critical to climate science given their role in determining regional climate changes and modulating how much the globe may warm with elevated CO2 levels.
