The Advanced Study Program (ASP) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research has supported the career development of postdoctoral fellows for over 60 years. This study of...

Temperature profiles derived from Global Positioning System (GPS) Radio Occultation (RO) data from the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate...

This paper presents the thermal forcing of the semidiurnal, terdiurnal, and 6-h components of the migrating tide induced by ozone heating in stratosphere and lower mesosphere....

ECMWF-T799 is used to study gravity wave (GW) variations during the 2009 stratospheric sudden warming (SSW) in the Arctic. The magnitude and occurrence of GWs correlate with the...

The use of hindcast climatic data is quite extended for multiple applications. However, this approach needs the support of a validation process to allow its drawbacks and,...

Haze has been severely affecting the densely populated areas in China recently. While many of the efforts have been devoted to investigating the impact of local anthropogenic...

A 500-year-long high-resolution Community Earth System Model simulation under preindustrial radiative forcing produces Maud Rise Polynyas (MRPs) and Weddell Sea Polynya (WSP)...

This study reports on the development of bulk single-scattering models for ice clouds that are appropriate for use in hyperspectral radiative transfer cloud modeling over the...

This article introduces a novel hypothesis for the role of vertical wind shear ("shear") in deep convection initiation (DCI). In this hypothesis, initial moist updrafts that...

The Year of Tropical Convection (YOTC) project recognizes that major improvements are needed in how the tropics are represented in climate models. Tropical convection is...

We show that meridional circulation, such as that observed at the top of and in the solar convection zone (CZ) by direct doppler and helioseismic techniques, cannot penetrate...

Despite the widespread use of conceptual hydrological models in environmental research and operations, they remain frequently implemented using numerically unreliable methods....

Scholarly resources, including publications, software, data sets, and instruments, are created in an iterative and interrelated fashion. Managing the relationships that exist...

Colonially-breeding seabirds have long served as indicator species for the health of the oceans on which they depend. Abundance and breeding data are repeatedly collected at...

Climate models exhibit a wide range in latitudinal position of the Southern Hemisphere westerly jet. Previous work has demonstrated, in the annual mean, that models with lower...

About 99% of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is covered by frozen soils and degradation of frozen soils will certainly impact TP's ecosystems. Here, we investigate decadal changes of...

We investigated trends of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the upper atmosphere, using data from the Atmosphere Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer and from the Sounding...

Several negative feedback mechanisms have been proposed by others to explain the stability of maximum sea surface temperature (SST) in the western Pacific warm pool (WPWP). If...

High-resolution X-band polarimetric radar data were collected in 19 snowstorms over northern Colorado in early 2013 as part of the Front Range Orographic Storms (FROST) project....

Climate models consistently predict an acceleration of the Brewer-Dobson circulation (BDC) due to climate change in the 21st century. However, the strength of this acceleration...
