DOI: 10.1029/2025gl117015
Abstract: The sea surface temperature (SST) pattern modulates the Earth's radiative feedbacks at decadal timescales. However, decadal feedback variations over the historical period depend on the choice of climate model, even when forced with the same… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-53985-w
Abstract: Tropical marine low cloud feedback is key to the uncertainty in climate sensitivity, and it depends on the warming pattern of sea surface temperatures (SSTs). Here, we empirically constrain this feedback in two major low… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ab21e7
Abstract: Using idealized climate model simulations, we investigate the effectiveness of black carbon (BC) aerosols in warming the planet relative to CO2 forcing. We find that a 60-fold increase in the BC aerosol mixing ratio from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jcli-d-24-0686.1
Abstract: The state dependence of cloud feedback—its variation with the mean state climate—has been found in many paleoclimate and contemporary climate simulations. Previous results have shown inconsistencies in the sign, magnitude, and underlying mechanisms of state… read more here.
