The dominant sink for methane, reaction with the hydroxyl radical (OH), is highly sensitive to temperature, restricting a major portion of the atmosph...

The hydroxyl radical (OH) sets the oxidative capacity of the atmosphere and determines the lifetime of reactive greenhouse gases such as methane (CH4)...

Simple analytical models for radiative forcing by carbon dioxide (eg., those developed recently by Jeevanjee et al., 2021, and Wilson and Gea-Banacloc...

Idealized models have been used with resounding success to understand robust physics of the climate. A traditional aquaplanet with zonally symmetric s...

Clouds largely affect our climate through their radiative effects in the SW and the LW. As the climate warms, cloud radiative properties evolve and ma...

Earth system models (ESMs) are essential to understand and project climate change. ESMs typically run for decades on coarse horizontal scales in the o...

The observation of Earths hemispheric albedo symmetry is both surprising and surprisingly robust. As measured by CERES, the symmetry is within ~0.1 W/...

The infrared window region (780–1,250 cm−1, 12.8 to 8.0 μm) is of great importance to Earth's climate due to its high transparency and thermal energy....
