Precipitation is an important climate quantity that is critically relevant to society. In spite of intense efforts, significant precipitation biases remain in most climate...

We report results from a self-consistent global simulation model in which a large-scale equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) forms during a midnight temperature maximum (MTM). The...

Five of California's 10 largest wildfires occurred in 2020, with the largest complex exceeding the previous largest by more than 100%. The year follows a decade containing...

Gravity waves play a significant role in driving the semiannual oscillation (SAO) of the zonal wind in the tropics. However, detailed knowledge of this forcing is missing, and...

Many research and monitoring networks in recent decades have provided publicly available data documenting environmental and ecological change, but little is known about the...

We present spatio-temporal distributions of the tertiary ozone maximum (TOM), based on GOMOS (Global Ozone Monitoring by Occultation of Stars) ozone measurements in 2002-2006....

Specified dynamics schemes are ubiquitous modeling tools for isolating the roles of dynamics and transport on chemical weather and climate. They typically constrain the...

Limiting climate change to 2°C with a high probability requires reducing cumulative emissions to about 1600 GtCO₂ over the 2000-2100 period. This requires unprecedented rates...

Ocean heat uptake is the primary heat sink of the globe and modulates its surface warming rate. In situ observations during the past half century documented obvious multidecadal...

The behaviors of the nitric oxide (NO) cooling in the lower thermosphere during the 14 December 2020 solar eclipse are studied using Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband...

This article does not have an abstract or article summary.

While weather forecasting models can be tested by performing and evaluating many hindcasts, the limited observational record restricts the degree to which climate projections...

Climate change threatens the resource adequacy of future power systems. Existing research and practice lack frameworks for identifying decarbonization pathways that are robust...

Understanding organic composition of gases and particles is essential to identifying sources and atmospheric processing leading to organic aerosols (OA), but atmospheric...

The magnitude of sea surface temperature variability in the NINO3.4 region of the equatorial Pacific on decadal and longer timescales is assessed in observational data, state-...

The Progressive Science Mission in December 2005 was the first research use of the new NCAR High-performance Instrumented Airborne Platform for Environmental Research (HIAPER)...

The emergence of global convective‐permitting models (GCPMs) represents a significant advancement in climate modeling, offering improved representation of deep convection...

A large-scale model of ocean dynamics finds intermittent behavior that may have implications for how the ocean's energy budget is assessed.

An extensive collection of library software is available for use on the Scientific Computing Division (SCD) computers at NCAR, and is cataloged in this document. The NCAR...

We present a case study on the formation and structure of the Extratropical Transition Layer (ExTL) using in situ observations and a Lagrangian chemical transport model. The...
