Jonathan Jiang, 2023, "Vientos - A new satellite mission concept for 3D wind measurements by combining passive water vapor sounders with Doppler wind lidar", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.46WAMZ, BAMS, JPL Open Repository
It is challenging to accurately characterize the three-dimensional distribution of horizontal wind vectors (known as 3D winds). Feature-matching satellite cloud top or water vapor fields have been used for decades to retrieve atmospheric motion vectors, but this approach is mostl... |

Jonathan Jiang, 2023, "An emergent constraint on climate sensitivity by seasonal cycle of extratropical low clouds", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.J3P8CR, Nature Climate Change, JPL Open Repository
A large spread in climate model estimates of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS), i.e., the global mean surface temperature increase in response to the radiative forcing of a doubling of CO2, can be largely ascribed to model uncertainty in representing low cloud shortwave (SW)... |

Jonathan Jiang, 2021, "Improvements in cloud and water vapor simulations over the tropical oceans in CMIP6 compared to CMIP5", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.PFEDEV, Earth and Space Science, JPL Open Repository
Clouds and water vapor are among the most difficult quantities for global climate models to simulate because they are affected by physical processes that operate over scales unresolved by current climate models. We use NASA satellite data to assess the representation of clouds an... |

Hui Su, 2020, "Environmental controls on tropical mesoscale convective system precipitation intensity", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.Z2ZJEP, Journal of Atmospheric Sciences, JPL Open Repository
Using multiple independent satellite and reanalysis datasets, we compare relationships between mesoscale convective system (MCS) precipitation intensity (Pmax), environmental moisture, large-scale vertical velocity, and system radius among tropical continental and oceanic regions... |

Hui Su, 2020, "Applying satellite observations of tropical cyclone internal structures to rapid intensification forecast with machine learning", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.TA5SHC, Geophysical Research Letters, JPL Open Repository
Tropical cyclone (TC) intensity change is controlled by both environmental conditions and internal storm processes. We show that TC 24-hour subsequent intensity change (DV24) is linearly correlated with the departures in satellite observations of inner-core precipitation, ice wat... |

Jonathan Jiang, 2020, "Reduced European aerosol emissions suppress winter extremes over northern Eurasia", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.3ELQSG, Nature Climate Change, JPL Open Repository
Winter extreme weather events receive major public attention due to their serious impacts[1], but the dominant factors regulating their interdecadal trends have not been clearly established[2,3]. Here we show that the radiative forcing due to geospatially redistributed anthropoge... |

Wang, Yuan, 2020, "Impact of Cloud Ice Particle Size Uncertainty in A Climate Model and Implications for Future Satellite Missions", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.D8X7VT, JGR-Atmosphere, JPL Open Repository
Ice particle size is pivotal to determining ice cloud radiative effect and precipitating rate. However, there is a lack of accurate ice particle effective radius (Rei) observation on the global scale to constrain its representation in climate models. In support of future mission... |

Jonathan Jiang, 2020, "Assessment of CMIP6 Cloud Fraction and Comparison With Satellite Observations", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.N5UT6A, Earth and Space Science, JPL Open Repository
The seasonal and regional variations of cloud fractions are compared across two generations of global climate model ensembles, specifically, the Coupled ModelIntercomparison Project-5 (CMIP5) and CMIP6, through the historical period in terms of skills and multi-model agreement. W... |
