Most-cited papers in AGU Advances

Carbon‐Neutral Pathways for the United States

James H. Williams, Ryan Jones, Ben Haley et al. · 14 Jan 2021

Abstract The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C points to the need for carbon neutrality by mid‐century. Achieving this in the United States in only 30 years will be challenging, and practical pathways detailing the technologies, infrastructure, costs, and tradeoffs involved are needed. Modeling the entire U.S. energy…

Land‐Atmosphere Interactions Exacerbated the Drought and Heatwave Over Northern Europe During Summer 2018

Paul A. Dirmeyer, Gianpaolo Balsamo, Eleanor Blyth et al. · 15 Apr 2021

Abstract The 2018 drought and heatwave over northern Europe were exceptional, with unprecedented forest fires in Sweden, searing heat in Germany and water restrictions in England. Monthly, daily, and hourly data from ERA5, verified with in situ soil water content and surface flux measurements, are examined to investigate the subseasonal‐to‐seasonal progression of the event and…

External Forcing Explains Recent Decadal Variability of the Ocean Carbon Sink

Galen A. McKinley, Amanda R. Fay, Yassir A. Eddebbar et al. · 1 Jun 2020

Abstract The ocean has absorbed the equivalent of 39% of industrial‐age fossil carbon emissions, significantly modulating the growth rate of atmospheric CO 2 and its associated impacts on climate. Despite the importance of the ocean carbon sink to climate, our understanding of the causes of its interannual‐to‐decadal variability remains limited. This hinders our ability to…

Substantial Cloud Brightening From Shipping in Subtropical Low Clouds

Michael Diamond, Hannah M. Director, Ryan Eastman et al. · 1 Mar 2020

Abstract The influence of aerosol particles on cloud reflectivity remains one of the largest sources of uncertainty in our understanding of anthropogenic climate change. Commercial shipping constitutes a large and concentrated aerosol perturbation in a meteorological regime where clouds have a disproportionally large effect on climate. Yet, to date, studies have been unable to detect…

Lower Urban Humidity Moderates Outdoor Heat Stress

TC Chakraborty, Zander S. Venter, Yun Qian et al. · 20 Sep 2022

Abstract Surface temperature is often used to examine heat exposure in multi‐city studies and for informing urban heat mitigation efforts due to scarcity of urban air temperature measurements. Cities also have lower relative humidity, traditionally not accounted for in large‐scale observational urban heat risk assessments. Here, using crowdsourced measurements from over 40,000 weather stations in…

AGU Advances template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the AGU Advances format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the AGU Advances template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official AGU (American Geophysical Union) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does AGU Advances use?
AGU Advances uses Author–year (APA) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B., & Lee, C. (2023). A representative article title. AGU Advances, 12(3), 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to AGU Advances?
No. DocuGuru generates the agujournal2025 LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a AGU (American Geophysical Union)-ready AGU Advances document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the AGU Advances template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the AGU Advances format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is AGU Advances?
AGU journal. It is a earth and environmental sciences journal, published by AGU (American Geophysical Union).
Can I export a submission-ready AGU Advances PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official AGU Advances template (the agujournal2025 class) that is ready to submit to AGU (American Geophysical Union), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the AGU Advances template cost?
You can start writing in the AGU Advances template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready AGU Advances PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
