DOI: 10.1029/2018gl080463
Abstract: Surface temperature variations across the tropics exhibit different levels of spatial coherence, yet this is poorly characterized. Years of high temperature anomalies occurring simultaneously across large geographical regions have the potential to adversely impact food… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2022gl102285
Abstract: Changes in tropical (30 S–30 N) land hydroclimate following CO2‐induced global warming are organized according to climatological aridity index (AI) and daily soil moisture (SM) percentiles. The transform from geographical space to this novel process‐oriented… read more here.
