New research led by the University of Washington analyzes the most recent ice age, when a large swath of North America was covered in ice, to better understand the relationship between CO2 and global temperature. 

Emeritus Professor Marcia Baker’s paper “The influence of entrainment on the evolution of cloud droplet spectra: I. A model of inhomogeneous mixing” and Chris Bretherton’s paper “On large-scale circulations in convecting atmospheres” are selected by Chief Editors from the Royal Meteorological Society to be featured in their 150th Anniversary Quarterly Journal.
