DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosres.2016.08.015
Abstract: Abstract Cirrus (Ci) cloud properties can change significantly from place to place over the globe as a result of weather processes, reflecting their likely different radiative and climate implications. In this work Cirrus clouds (Ci)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stx737
Abstract: We determine the physical properties and turbulence driving mode of molecular clouds formed in numerical simulations of a Milky Way-type disc galaxy with parsec-scale resolution. The clouds form through gravitational fragmentation of the gas, leading… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/sty3295
Abstract: Star formation is an inefficient process and in general only a small fraction of the gas in a giant molecular cloud (GMC) is turned into stars. This is partly due to the negative effect of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/sty3437
Abstract: We present a catalogue of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) in M33, extracted from cold dust continuum emission. Our GMCs are identified by computing dendrograms. We measure the spatial distribution of these clouds, and characterise their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/mwr-d-16-0079.1
Abstract: AbstractLow-level clouds are extensive in the Arctic and contribute to inadequately understood feedbacks within the changing regional climate. The simulation of low-level clouds, including mixed-phase clouds, over the Arctic Ocean during summer and autumn remains… read more here.
