Arctic Coast Erosion Linked to Large-Scale Climate Variability

by J. Sprintall 10 April 202015 November 2021

Changes in rates of Arctic coastal erosion detected from multi-decadal measurements are attributed to the shorter duration in the winter sea ice coverage and large-scale changes in the wind patterns.

Santa Ana Winds and Wildfires Influence Air Pollution

by David Shultz 24 February 202017 March 2023

Inhaling particulate matter is hard on human health. New research shows that Southern California’s Santa Ana winds can clear or exacerbate fine-particulate pollution depending on wildfire conditions.

Polar Stratosphere Resolves North Atlantic Jet “Tug of War”

by Alessandra Giannini 25 September 201929 March 2022

Getting the polar stratosphere right is critical in the simulation of North Atlantic climate change, which is shaped by the interaction of Arctic Amplification and tropical upper tropospheric warming.
