Tri-axial accelerometer data from the Challenging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP) satellite have revealed the thermospheric density and its variability in unprecedented detail....

This study examines the biases, intermodel spread, and intermodel range of surface air temperature (SAT) across the Antarctic ice sheet and Southern Ocean in 26 structurally...

Early Global Horizontal Sounding Technique (GHOST) balloon tests have resulted in valuable upper air wind data, particularly in the data-poor mid-latitudes over southern...

Global data assimilation systems for numerical weather prediction (NWP) are characterized by significant uncertainties in tropical analysis fields. Furthermore, the largest...

In this paper we describe in detail the implementation and main properties of a new inversion code for the polarized radiative transfer equation (VFISV: Very Fast Inversion of...

As the world warms due to rising greenhouse gas concentrations, the Earth systemmoves toward climate stateswithout societal precedent, challenging adaptation. Past Earth system...

Soil moisture increases the cohesive forces of soil particles, making it more difficult to lift the particles by the wind. As a result, the soil moisture modulates the airborne...

The position of the subtropical jet over the Himalayas (Himalayan jet) affects extreme precipitation and heat over Central and South Asia. We examine the influence of two major...

Snow cover fraction (SCF) accuracy in land surface models (LSMs) impacts the accuracy of surface albedo and land‐atmosphere interactions. However, SCF is a large source of...

We use a troposphere-stratosphere model of intermediate complexity to study the atmospheric response to an idealized solar forcing in the subtropical upper stratosphere during...

The fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) will produce a state-of-the- art multimodel dataset designed to advance our knowledge of climate variability...

Stable water isotopes are data-rich tracers of the hydrological cycle, and, recently, the advent of isotope-enabled climate models has allowed for investigations into the...

An ensemble of simulations covering the present day observational period using forced sea surface temperatures and prescribed sea-ice extent is configured with an 85 truncation...

Current automated aviation turbulence forecast algorithms diagnose turbulence from numerical weather prediction (NWP) model output by identifying large values in computed...

Observing system simulation experiments are carried out to investigate the added value of radio occultation (RO) refractivity observations with various spatial sampling...

We present numerical simulations of active region scale flux emergence covering a time span of up to 6 days. Flux emergence is driven by a bottom boundary condition that advects...

Triose phosphate utilization (TPU)-limited photosynthesis occurs when carbon export from the Calvin-Benson cycle cannot keep pace with carbon inputs and processing. This...

This report contains flight summaries and analyses of Phase III GHOST balloon flights in the period 1 July 1968 to 31 December 1969. These flights were launched from...

Extreme droughts are a major determinant of ecosystem disturbance that impacts plant communities and feeds back into climate change through changes in plant functioning....
