The Effect of Milankovitch Variations in Insolation on Equatorial Seasonality
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)Although the sun crosses the equator 2 times per year at the equinoxes, at times in the past the equatorial insolation has had only one maximum and one minimum throughout the seasonal cycle because of Milankovitch orbital ... -
Ocean surface temperature variability: Large model–data differences at decadal and longer periods
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014)The variability of sea surface temperatures (SSTs) at multidecadal and longer timescales is poorly constrained, primarily because instrumental records are short and proxy records are noisy. Through applying a new noise ... -
Responses of terrestrial ecosystems and carbon budgets to current and future environmental variability
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010)We assess the significance of high-frequency variability of environmental parameters (sunlight, precipitation, temperature) for the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems under current and future climate. We ...
