One of his many great achievements is his seminal 1967 paper on radiative convective equilibrium (RCE), together with Richard Wetherald, perhaps the most influential climate research paper of all...

The new release of the end user mesoscale meteorological model METRAS-PCL is available. The most prominent changes are a new surface cover representation with over 50 material classes, a simplified user interface and a topography pre-processor. METRAS-PCL has been evaluated according to VDI 3783 page 7.

Researchers have come to the conclusion in the past that humidity measurements are inconsistent between in-situ sensors and satellite-based microwave sensors. It was assumed that some aspect hasn't been fully understood yet, e.g. in the radiative transfer model that is used to compare the two measurements.
