Many of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Special Report for Emission Scenarios and Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) projections (especially RCP 8.5 and 6) project CO2 emissions due to oil […]
Models for biological and epidemiological processes run the gamut from phenomenological to mechanistic, including differing amounts of biological information and detail. In this talk, I explore models across this spectrum […]
The oceanic data assimilation (DA) system, essential for understanding and forecasting global climate variabilities, blends prior information from numerical models with observed data to create the best possible estimates and […]
AI machine learning has attracted more and more attentions for climate science in recent years with expanding applications to many areas. In this talk, I will briefly present our recent […]
Oxygen levels are decreasing in the ocean at an alarming rate, leading to the expansion of Oxygen Minimum Zones (OMZs) particularly in the eastern part of the tropical Atlantic and […]
We investigate the origin of the equatorial Pacific cold sea surface temperature (SST) bias and its link to wind biases, local and remote, in the Kiel Climate Model (KCM). The […]
As a natural external forcing of our climate system, volcanic eruptions can exert a negative radiative forcing on the Earth with global cooling; however, what eruptions under what conditions can […]
The Atlantic Multi-decadal Variability (AMV) is a prominent mode of sea-surface temperature (SST) variability over the North Atlantic and can impact European weather and climate, such as droughts and Atlantic […]
Eddies are fundamental components of the general circulation which enable the above regional climate differences to be realized, regardless of the cause – anthropogenic climate change or natural/internal climate variability. […]
