The Great Calcite Belt (GCB) is a region of elevated particulate inorganic carbon (PIC) generated by coccolithophore growth that spans the subantarctic Southern Ocean. The GCB...

An overview of the Energy Balance Experiment (EBEX-2000) is given. This experiment studied the ability of state-of-the-art measurements to close the surface energy balance over...

The sensitivity of cloud feedbacks to atmospheric model parameters is evaluated using a CAM6 perturbed parameter ensemble (PPE). The CAM6 PPE perturbs 45 parameters across 262...

The brightness temperature measurements from the Airborne Imaging Microwave Radiometer ( AIMR) microwave radiometer 37 GHz and 90 GHz channels are used to determine the column...

This study examines the DigiCORA and Global Climate Observing System Reference Upper-Air Network (GRUAN) humidity corrections of Vaisala RS92 radiosondes at three sites over the...

The necessity and benefits for establishing the international Earth-system Prediction Initiative (EPI) are discussed by scientists associated with the World Meteorological...

Context. Waves in the magnetized solar atmosphere are one of the favourite means of transferring and depositing energy into the solar corona. The study of waves brings...

The simulation characteristics of the Asian-Australian monsoon are documented for the Community Climate System Model, version 4 (CCSM4). This is the first part of a two part...

Domain-average momentum budgets are examined in several multiday cloud-resolving model simulations of deep tropical convection in realistic shears. The convective eddy momentum...

A new view on how large disturbances in the magnetosphere may be prolonged and intensified further emerges from a recently discovered interplanetary process: the...

We quantify the vertical velocity and upward mass flux in the tropical lower stratosphere on the basis of accurate radiative heating rate calculations using 8-year Southern...

An approximate analytic expression is derived for the ratio lambda of the ascent rate of moist deep convective thermals and the maximum vertical velocity within them; lambda is...

An efficient modeling strategy is proposed for the investigation of the effect of the sea surface temperature (SST) mesoscale variability on atmospheric dynamics. Two ensembles...

It is known that the sudden injection of energy during geomagnetic storms can excite atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs) or traveling atmospheric disturbances (TADs). Together with...

Stratospheric sudden warmings (SSWs) are a major source of variability during Northern Hemisphere winter. The frequency of occurrence of SSWs is influenced by El Niño-Southern...

Recent advances in air pollution sensors have led to a new wave of low-cost measurement systems that can be deployed in dense networks to capture small-scale spatio-temporal...

We present a brief commentary on the landmark study of Exner (1913), in which an analysis of the correlation between monthly anomalies of "polar pressure" and sea level pressure...

Analyzing a large database of high-resolution three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of decaying rotating stratified flows, we show that anomalous mixing and...

Using CCSM4 climate simulations for 1850-2300 with four different future forcing scenarios, we show that the maximum strength of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation...

The performance of the spectral wind wave model SWAN in tidal inlet seas was assessed on the basis of extensive wave measurements conducted in the Amelander Zeegat tidal inlet...
