Jonathan Jiang, 2023, "Aerosol Atmospheric Rivers as Drivers of Extreme Poor Air Quality Events and Record PM2.5 Levels", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.DFEMUB, Science Advances, JPL Open Repository
This study investigates the impacts of aerosol atmospheric rivers (AARs) on extreme Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM2.5) levels (i.e. PM2.5 > 15μgm-3, daily guideline by the World Health Organization) and on aerosol optical depth (AOD) extremes (AOD > local 98th percentile) over the US... |

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, 2023, "Assessing the destructiveness of tropical cyclone by anthropogenic aerosols under an atmosphere-ocean coupled framework", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.JVY1SJ, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, JPL Open Repository
Intense tropical cyclones (TCs) can cause catastrophic damages to coastal regions after landfall. Recent studies have linked the TC’s devastation to climate change that induces favorable conditions, such as increasing sea-surface temperature, to supercharge the storms. Meanwhile,... |

Jonathan Jiang, 2023, "Avoiding the Great Filter: A Simulation of Important Factors for Human Survival", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.G9DQSD, Galaxies, JPL Open Repository
Humanity’s path to avoiding extinction is a daunting and inevitable challenge which proves difficult to solve, partially due to the lack of data and evidence surrounding the concept. We aim to address this confusion by addressing some of the most dangerous threats to humanity, in... |

Jonathan Jiang, 2023, "Avoiding the “Great Filter”: Extraterrestrial Life and Humanity’s Future in the Universe", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.NAJL6L, Nature, JPL Open Repository
Our Universe is a vast, tantalizing enigma - a mystery that has aroused humankind’s innate curiosity for ages. Begging answers to questions on alien lifeforms have been thus far unfruitful, even with bounding technological advancements of recent years. Coupled with logical assump... |

Juilin Li, 2023, "Evaluation of Radiatively Active Frozen Hydrometeors Mass in CMIP6 Global Climate Models Using CloudSat-CALIPSO Observations", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.RWY3YS, Environmental Research Communication, JPL Open Repository
Abstract While most of models participated in CMIP6 do not consider precipitating ice (snow) radiative effects (NOS), there are several models implement prognostic snow in addition to cloud ice separately (CESM2-CAM6 and its family models: SON2) or combined as a parcel interactin... |

Jonathan Jiang, 2023, "Exoplanets Around Red Giants: Distribution and Habitability", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.SS0RHM, Galaxies, JPL Open Repository
As the search for exoplanets continues, more are being discovered orbiting Red Giant stars. We use current data from the NASA Exoplanet Archive to investigate planet distribution around Red Giant stars and their presence in the host’s habitable zone. As well, we explore the distr... |

Jonathan Jiang, 2023, "Impact of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai Volcanic Eruption on Stratospheric Water Vapor, Temperature and Ozone", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.CLZKVL, Remote Sensing, JPL Open Repository
Despite being rare, large volcanic eruptions can have a long-lasting impact on the chemistry, radiation, and dynamics of the stratosphere. This study attempts to quantify the changes in the stratospheric water vapour and its relationship to temperature and ozone observed from spa... |
