• Asian Anthropogenic Aerosol Forcing Played a Key Role in the Multidecadal Increase in Australian Summer Monsoon Rainfall 

      Fahrenbach, Nora L.S.; Bollasina, Massimo A.; Samset, Bjørn Hallvard; Cowan, Tim; Ekman, Annica M.L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Observations show a significant increase in Australian summer monsoon (AUSM) rainfall since the mid-twentieth century. Yet the drivers of this trend, including the role of anthropogenic aerosols, remain uncertain. We ...
    • The influence of atmospheric blocking on extreme winter minimum temperatures in North America 

      Whan, Kirien; Zwiers, Francis W.; Sillmann, Jana (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Regional climate models (RCMs) are the primary source of high-resolution climate projections, and it is of crucial importance to evaluate their ability to simulate extreme events under current climate conditions. Many ...
    • The Time Scales of Climate Responses to Carbon Dioxide and Aerosols 

      Stjern, Camilla Weum; Forster, Piers M.; Jia, Hailing; Jouan, Caroline; Kasoar, Matthew R.; Myhre, Gunnar; Oliviè, Dirk Jan Leo; Quaas, Johannes; Samset, Bjørn Hallvard; Sand, Maria; Takemura, Toshihiro; Voulgarakis, Apostolos; Wells, Christopher D. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The climate system responds to changes in the amount of atmospheric greenhouse gases or aerosols through rapid processes, triggered within hours and days, and through slower processes, where the full response may only be ...
