The objective of this paper is to assess the performances of the proposed ice water content (IWC)-radar reflectivity Z and IWC-Z-temperature T relationships for accurate...

Background Short-term associations between extreme heat events and adverse health outcomes are well-established in epidemiologic studies. However, the use of different exposure...

Version 1 of the Community Earth System Model, in the configuration where its full carbon cycle is enabled, is introduced and documented. In this configuration, the terrestrial...

During the Terrain-Influenced Monsoon Rainfall Experiment (TiMREX), which coincided with Taiwan's Southwesterly Monsoon Experiment-2008 (SoWMEX-08), the upper-air sounding...

Aerosols interact with radiation and clouds. Substantial progress made over the past 40 years in observing, understanding, and modeling these processes helped quantify the...

The Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) interacts with and influences a wide range of weather and climate phenomena (e.g., monsoons, ENSO, tropical storms, midlatitude weather), and...

A proof-of-concept method for the assimilation of total lightning observations in the 4DVAR framework is proposed and implemented into the Variational Doppler Radar Analysis...

Stratospheric sulfate injections from explosive volcanic eruptions are a primary natural climate forcing. Improved statistical models can now capture and simulate dynamical...

Most current land models approximate terrestrial hydrological processes as one-dimensional vertical flow, neglecting lateral water movement from ridges to valleys. Such lateral...

Polar vortices are ubiquitous features of planetary atmospheric flows, from the Earth-like rocky planets to Jupiter- and Saturn-like gas giant planets. Very little is known...

Human adaptation to climate change is comprised of "adjustments" in response to (or anticipation of) climatic impacts. Adaptation does not necessarily imply favorable or...

Over the past 15 years, numerous studies have suggested that the sinking branches of Earth's Hadley circulation and the associated subtropical dry zones have shifted poleward...

Numerical models of atmosphere - ocean circulation are widely used to understand past climate and to project future climate change. Although the same laws of physics, chemistry,...

This study examines the contribution of tropical sea surface temperature (SST) forcing to the 1976/77 climate transition of the winter atmospheric circulation over the North...

The atmospheric sulfur cycle plays a key role in air quality, climate, and ecosystems, such as pollution, radiative forcing, new particle formation, and acid rain. In this...

The ionosphere experiences strong diurnal and seasonal changes. The longitudinal variations of electron density (Ne) in the ionosphere at the middle latitudes also show strong...

Context. V1298 Tau is a very young and magnetically active K1V star that hosts a benchmark multi-planetary system to study planet formation and evolutionary history at...

This report represents the culmination of efforts by Ronald Errico and James Vickroy of the Large-Scale Dynamics Section of NCAR's Atmospheric Analysis and Prediction Division...

Simulating the warmth and equability of past hothouse climates has been a challenge since the inception of paleoclimate modeling. The newest generation of Earth system models...

Satellite retrievals of cloud effective radius re are frequently validated using aircraft in situ measurements. Past intercomparisons have found a significant bias toward larger...
