El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has far reaching global climatic impacts and so extending useful ENSO forecasts would have great societal benefit. However, one key variable...

A 9-year database of sunlit E region electron density altitude profiles (N-e(z)) measured by the Sondrestrom incoherent scatter radar (ISR) has been partitioned over a parameter...

This report reproduces the introspective review meeting about operational lessons learned from the Line Islands experiment that took place during March and April 1967....

A model intercomparison activity was inspired by the large suite of observations of atmospheric composition made during the International Polar Year (2008) in the Arctic. Nine...

Isocyanic acid (HNCO), a product of some combustion processes, can potentially have negative human health effects. While gas phase HNCO loss processes are slow, HNCO loss in the...

The relationship between Indian Ocean sea surface temperature and the transition of El Niño events into either La Niña or El Niño-Southern Oscillation neutral conditions is...

The Arctic radiation balance is strongly affected by clouds and surface albedo. Prior work has identified Arctic cloud liquid water path (LWP) and surface radiative flux biases...

Permafrost soils contain enormous amounts of organic carbon whose stability is contingent on remaining frozen. With future warming, these soils may release carbon to the...

Globally averaged surface air temperatures in some decades show rapid increases (accelerated warming decades), and in other decades there is no warming trend (hiatus decades). A...

Adjustments for the wind-induced undercatch of snowfall measurements use transfer functions to account for the expected reduction of the collection efficiency with increasing...

An airflow trajectory analysis was carried out based on an idealized numerical simulation of the nocturnal 9 February 1993 equatorial oceanic squall line observed over the...

Aircraft measurements of the ubiquitous marine stratocumulus cloud type, with over 3000 km of in situ data from the Pacific during the Cloud System Evolution in the Trades...

Each year, the Computational & Information Systems Laboratory (CISL) conducts a survey of its current and recent user community to gather a number of metrics about the...

Seven climate models were used to explore the biogeophysical impacts of human-induced land cover change (LCC) at regional and global scales. The imposed LCC led to statistically...

El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is recognized as one of the potentially predictable drivers of California Current System (CCS) variability. In this study, we analyze a...

Results from airborne field deployments emphasized the need to obtain concurrently high temporal and spatial resolution measurements of 3-D winds and microphysics. A phased...

Absorbing aerosols, like black carbon (BC), give rise to rapid adjustments, and the associated perturbation to the atmospheric temperature structure alters the cloud...

We report the first direct, in situ measurements of the chemical composition of size-segregated atmospheric nanoparticles in the 6 - 15 nm diameter range. These measurements...

The effect of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) on springtime Antarctic ozone variations is revealed for the first time from multi-satellite reanalysis and model simulations....

We present vertically resolved thermospheric temperatures and NO abundances in terms of volume mixing ratio retrieved simultaneously from spectrally resolved 5.3 μm emissions...
