Message-ID: Good morning and Happy Tuesday, I hope you make it to Center Green today to check out the NCAR Day of Science and Discovery. There's free food at lunch and late afternoon, and a chance to hear about what is going on at NCAR and to network. On another note, here is an article on "How to Review an Academic Journal Article." I have pasted the meatiest part below, which has some advice that I know I need to follow....specifically "do not copy edit the article..." See the full article for more. - Val How to Review an Academic Journal Article Inside Higher Education . Sept. 5, 2023. *A Reader Report Template* While we don?t think it?s the only way to write a report, we?d like to describe here some ways to give specific feedback in yours. Start with a one-paragraph summary of the essay?s argument, its contribution or potential contribution to scholarly discussions on the topic(s) and its other strengths. That achieves several things. It shows to the author that you understand what they?re saying, have read the essay carefully and recognize the contribution the author is making or hoping to make. If, in the author?s view, that paragraph does not do a good job summarizing the argument, it should indicate to them that they haven?t been as clear as they hoped. Such an opening establishes your authority and ethos to both the author and editor: it shows that you have read the article carefully, know the field and are generous as well as rigorous. Alternatively, you might start with your overall recommendation (publish, decline the article or require revisions) and the main reasons behind it. Like the thesis in a student essay, the recommendation and main reasons serve to introduce and organize the details explained in the rest of the report. If the article is not a straight acceptance, spend the body of the report on two or three higher-level recommendations, as well as any smaller suggestions you have. If you feel the author needs to integrate particular scholarship, it?s very helpful to name the titles you want them to consult. Do not copyedit the article?among other problems, it will eat up a tremendous amount of your time. Rather, use your report to help the author clarify the stakes of the argument, strengthen the recognition and treatment of other relevant scholarship on the topic, and improve the support for the essay?s claims, the article?s structure and the ideas and concepts they (could) develop or apply. The only reason to suggest line edits is if you see errors or gaffes you think a copy editor might not notice. To both author and journal editor, an excessive focus on minutiae suggests the reviewer has lost sight of the forest for the trees. Line edits come later in the process?after the article has been accepted but before it has been published. If you opened your report with a summary of the essay, you might end the report with a recap of your recommendations for revision, although that?s not essential. Authors are likely to read reports several times, so restatement is probably unnecessary. The same is true for editors. Instead, you might close the report with your overall recommendation: accept, reject or revise and resubmit. If instead you opened your report with your overall recommendation and the main reasons for it, no conclusion is necessary, although you might end on an encouraging note: what you learned from the essay, the importance of the topic and your eagerness to see the essay, a revised version or future work in print. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The issue of how the tropical Pacific will respond to global warming is vigorously debated, yet, unfortunately, we still have no clear answer whether the eastern Pacific will experience enhanced warming in the 21st century as global climate models predict, or whether current trends will continue or perhaps plateau. In this talk, I present a study in which my co-authors and I address this issue head on by designing a novel set of A-GCM experiments where everything is held constant except the pattern of warming in the tropical Pacific. This way, we can isolate the effects of the eastern Pacific warming on the terrestrial hydroclimate. We find that the eastern Pacific warming has a very pronounced effect in several regions across the Americas manifesting as both modulation of long-term trends, and changes in ENSO-related extreme events. These findings have wide reached implications for adaptation and climate risk assessment. *Fieldwork on Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf, Antarctica * Michelle Maclennan (ATOC) West Antarctica?s Thwaites Glacier is approximately the size of the state of Florida and currently contributes 4% of all global sea-level rise. In recent decades, the flow of ice from Thwaites Glacier into the ocean has accelerated, and it could contribute several centimeters of sea level rise by the end of the century. Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf, the floating ice at the terminus of Thwaites Glacier, is the fastest-changing part of the glacier. Warm circumpolar deep water has melted the ice shelf from below and large rifts are causing the ice shelf to crack apart from the side, and as a result it is expected that Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf will collapse in the next 1-4 years. In December 2022, a team of 7 researchers traveled down to Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf to download oceanographic data on basal melt, perform glaciological measurements of the ice shelf thickness and rifts, and collect water samples and snow density profiles at the surface. This was the third and final field season on the ice shelf, and the last major opportunity to study this unique and rapidly changing region before its imminent collapse. Here, we present a summary of the fieldwork conducted and early results on the current conditions of Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf, along with pictures and stories from the field. *How Warmer Climates Prevent Continental Interiors from Dropping Below Freezing * Kara Hartig (Harvard) In spite of the mean warming trend over the last few decades and its amplification in the Arctic, some studies have found no robust decline or even a slight increase in wintertime cold air outbreaks over North America. But fossil evidence from warmer paleoclimate periods indicates that the interior of North America never dropped below freezing even in the depths of winter, which implies that the maintenance of cold air outbreaks is unlikely to continue indefinitely with future warming. To identify key mechanisms affecting cold air outbreaks and understand how and why they will change in a warmer climate, we examine the development of North American cold air outbreaks in both a pre-industrial and a roughly 8xCO2 scenario with the Community Earth System Model, CESM2. Using a combination of model climatology and air parcel trajectory analysis, we demonstrate how the loss of the surface temperature inversion, increased heat and moisture fluxes over the Arctic Ocean, and subsequent changes to diabatic heating terms prevent North American temperatures from ever dropping below freezing in the warmer climate. __________________________________________________ *Zoom login Information:* *Topic: ATOC Colloquium* *Time: Sep 15, 2023 11:00 AM Mountain Time (US and Canada)* *https://cuboulder.zoom.us/j/98582201579 * *Meeting ID: 985 8220 1579* *Passcode: ATOC* One tap mobile +17193594580,,98582201579# US +12532158782,,98582201579# US (Tacoma) Dial by your location ? +1 719 359 4580 US ? +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) ? +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) ? +1 669 444 9171 US ? +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) ? +1 253 205 0468 US ? +1 564 217 2000 US ? +1 646 558 8656 US (New York) ? +1 646 931 3860 US ? +1 689 278 1000 US ? +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) ? +1 305 224 1968 US ? +1 309 205 3325 US ? +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) ? +1 360 209 5623 US ? +1 386 347 5053 US ? +1 507 473 4847 US Join by SIP ? 98582201579 at zoomcrc.com Join by H.323 ? 162.255.37.11 (US West) ? 162.255.36.11 (US East) ? 115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai) ? 115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad) ? 213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands) ? 213.244.140.110 (Germany) ? 103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney) ? 103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne) ? 149.137.40.110 (Singapore) ? 64.211.144.160 (Brazil) ? 149.137.68.253 (Mexico) ? 69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto) ? 65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver) ? 207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo) ? 149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka) Meeting ID: 985 8220 1579 Passcode: 166543 _______________________________________________________ *Andrew C.

Using a combination of model climatology and air parcel trajectory analysis, we demonstrate how the loss of the surface temperature inversion, increased heat and moisture fluxes over the Arctic Ocean, and subsequent changes to diabatic heating terms prevent North American temperatures from ever dropping below freezing in the warmer climate. __________________________________________________ *Zoom login Information:* *Topic: ATOC Colloquium* *Time: Sep 15, 2023 11:00 AM Mountain Time (US and Canada)* *https://cuboulder.zoom.us/j/98582201579 * *Meeting ID: 985 8220 1579* *Passcode: ATOC* One tap mobile +17193594580,,98582201579# US +12532158782,,98582201579# US (Tacoma) Dial by your location ? +1 719 359 4580 US ? +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) ? +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) ? +1 669 444 9171 US ? +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) ? +1 253 205 0468 US ? +1 564 217 2000 US ? +1 646 558 8656 US (New York) ? +1 646 931 3860 US ? +1 689 278 1000 US ? +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) ? +1 305 224 1968 US ? +1 309 205 3325 US ? +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) ? +1 360 209 5623 US ? +1 386 347 5053 US ? +1 507 473 4847 US Join by SIP ? 98582201579 at zoomcrc.com Join by H.323 ? 162.255.37.11 (US West) ? 162.255.36.11 (US East) ? 115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai) ? 115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad) ? 213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands) ? 213.244.140.110 (Germany) ? 103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney) ? 103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne) ? 149.137.40.110 (Singapore) ? 64.211.144.160 (Brazil) ? 149.137.68.253 (Mexico) ? 69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto) ? 65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver) ? 207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo) ? 149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka) Meeting ID: 985 8220 1579 Passcode: 166543 _______________________________________________________ *Andrew C.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday! -The ATOC Colloquium Committee _________________________________________________ *The role of subtropical Rossby waves in amplifying the divergent circulation of the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) * Pragallva Barpanda (Univ. of Bergen) The composite structure of the MJO has long been known to feature pronounced Rossby gyres in the subtropical upper troposphere. However, it is not known whether these subtropical gyre circulations have any subsequent effects on the MJO convective outflow. In my talk, I will disentangle the feedback mechanism from subtropics-to-tropics using idealized model experiments. In particular, I use a nonlinear spherical shallow water model with different imposed background jet profiles and an assumed MJO-like thermal heat source. Results show that a stronger subtropical jet leads to a stronger Kelvin-mode response in the tropics, together with stronger divergent anomalies in the vicinity of the forcing. To understand this behavior, additional calculations are performed in which a localized vorticity forcing is imposed in the extratropics, without any thermal forcing in the tropics. The response is once again seen to include pronounced equatorial Kelvin-mode response, provided the jet is of sufficient amplitude. A detailed analysis of the vorticity budget reveals that the zonal-mean zonal wind shear plays a key role in amplifying the Kelvin-mode divergent winds near the equator. These results help to explain why the MJO tends to be strongest during boreal winter when the Indo-Pacific jet is typically at its strongest. __________________________________________________ *Zoom login Information:* *Topic: ATOC Colloquium* *Time: Sep 29, 2023 11:00 AM Mountain Time (US and Canada)* *https://cuboulder.zoom.us/j/98582201579 Join our Cloud HD Video Meeting Zoom is the leader in modern enterprise video communications, with an easy, reliable cloud platform for video and audio conferencing, chat, and webinars across mobile, desktop, and room systems.
