Background. Wildfire simultaneity affects the availability and distribution of resources for fire management: multiple small fires require more resources to fight than one large...

The Snow, Ice, and Aerosol Radiative (SNICAR) model has been used in various capacities over the last 15 years to model the spectral albedo of snow with light-absorbing...

Previous studies have demonstrated that soil moisture in the top layers (e.g., within the top 1-m depth) can be retrieved by assimilating near-surface soil moisture observations...

The Multi-Scale Infrastructure for Chemistry and Aerosols Version 0 (MUSICAv0) is a new community modeling infrastructure that enables the study of atmospheric composition and...

Future changes in tropical cyclone (TC) genesis locations and frequency are explored by identifying relationships between TC genesis and dominant daily large-scale patterns, and...

This study examines the benefit of using a dynamical ensemble for 48 hr deterministic and probabilistic predictions of near-surface fine particulate matter (PM2.5) over the...

The ion convection and auroral precipitation are important inputs to the global thermospheric energy and momentum balance. In the NCAR TGCM, they are described by analytical...

We perform a multi-sensor analysis of water storage and surface height variations of the Caspian Sea, from mid-2002 through 2006. Data from three satellite missions (GRACE,...

Oceanic ecosystems support livelihoods and supply food for hundreds of millions of people. But these ecosystems are deteriorating rapidly and many of the world's oceanic...

Huge climate simulations such as the Community Earth System Model Large Ensemble (CESM-LE) output massive amounts of data, and switching from lossless to lossy compression of...

Probabilistic methods are useful to estimate the uncertainty in spatial meteorological fields (e.g., the uncertainty in spatial patterns of precipitation and temperature across...

This guide is one in a series of manuals describing the GENPRO software. Its purpose is to acquaint the user with the details of creating and assembling the input necessary to...

Volcanic ash is often neglected in climate simulations because ash particles are assumed to have a short atmospheric lifetime, and to not participate in sulfur chemistry. After...

The nondipolar portions of the Earth's main magnetic field constitute substantial differences between the two hemispheres. Beside the magnetic flux densities and patterns being...

Spectropolarimetric observations from SUNRISE/IMaX, obtained in 2013 June, are used for a statistical analysis to determine the physical properties of moving magnetic features...

A severe derecho impacted the Midwestern United States on 10 August 2020, causing over $12 billion (U.S. dollars) in damage, and producing peak winds estimated at 63 m s−1, with...

Tropical cyclone intensification processes are explored in six high-resolution climate models. The analysis framework employs process-oriented diagnostics that focus on how...

A "perfect model" configuration with a global coupled climate model 30-member ensemble is used to address decadal prediction of Pacific SSTs. All model data are low-pass...

Nudging is a ubiquitous capability of numerical weather and climate models that is widely used in a variety of applications (e.g., crude data assimilation, "intelligent"...

The spatiotemporal evolution of marine heatwaves (MHWs) is explored using a tracking algorithm called Ocetrac that provides the objective characterization of MHW spatiotemporal...
