⛈️Increased static stability in the stratosphere decreases the depth of the OT. The vertical velocity of the updraft core from 8-12.5 km is equally correlated to OT depth.
Many thanks to my coauthors: @jefftrapp.bsky.social, @70dbz.bsky.social and Larry Di Girolamo for their support and advice!

I will try this, thank you! I've had difficulty going from Overleaf/Latex in the past but will try this!

Given the nature of the work and my desire for it not to be used as training data without my consent, I probably won't use these tools, but thank you for the response!

Also no AI tools please. I'm very very weary of my research/work being used as training data without my consent. I just need a way to compare two PDFs and track the changes.

Illinois ended the game with more yards of offense yesterday against Ohio State and limited them to 34 points when imo Ohio State easily could have scored at least 10 more.

It was a fantastic game, truly shocked that UCLA pulled it off

We found that 55% of pyroCb events injected smoke within 1km of the tropopause or higher. 2023 was also a record-breaking year for pyroCb activity led by Canada with 142 events. Cumulative annual smoke mass injected by pyroCb can also rival mass injection by volcanoes or large pyroCb events

We analyzed pyroCb activity and the amount of smoke aerosol mass injected into the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere on a yearly, regional, monthly and hourly basis. The inventory file is also available online as Supplementary File 1.
