The impact of projected Arctic sea ice loss on the stratosphere is investigated using the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM), a state-of-the-art coupled chemistry...

The Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) is a coordinating framework, started in 2010, that includes a series of standardized climate model experiments aimed at...

Climate models of varying complexity have been used for decades to investigate the impact of mountains on the atmosphere and surface climate. Here, the impact of removing the...

Synthesis research in ecology and environmental science improves understanding, advances theory, identifies research priorities, and supports management strategies by linking...

This study examines the development, structure, and forcing of the rear inflow jet (RIJ) through the life cycle of a small, short-lived squall line over north-central Kansas on...

This report describes an experimental program that was conducted during the summer of 1975 to obtain data required to estimate crop-hail damage functions, i.e., empirical...

We present a new European plant-specific emission inventory for isoprene, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and oxygenated VOC (OVOC), on a spatial resolution of 0.089 x 0.089...

This technical report describes the distributed computing aspects of the CO-OP 3D project and involves the use of the Advanced Communications Technology Satellite to link...

The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) investigation (Solar Phys. doi:10.1007/s11207-011-9834-2, 2011) will study the solar interior using helioseismic techniques as well as...

Past observations and numerical modeling find magnetic reconnection to initiate at a localized region and then spread along a current sheet. The rate of spreading has been...

The correct representation of Antarctic clouds in atmospheric models is crucial for accurate projections of the future Antarctic climate. This is particularly true for summer...

Frequent extreme air pollution episodes in China accompanied with high concentrations of particulate matters (PM2.5) and ozone (O-3) are partly supported by meteorological...

[1] Ozone and its precursors were measured from 15 June 2006 to 14 June 2007 at an urban site in Shanghai and used to characterize photochemical oxidant production in this...

Ocean fronts are an important submesoscale feature, yet frontogenesis theory often neglects turbulence - even parameterized turbulence - leaving theory lacking in comparison...

The growth of mega-cities leads to air quality problems directly affecting the citizens. Satellite measurements are becoming of higher quality and quantity, which leads to more...

On 21 January 2005, a moderate magnetic storm produced a number of anomalous features, some seen more typically during superstorms. The aim of this study is to establish the...

Ensemble filters are used in many data assimilation applications in geophysics. Basic implementations of ensemble filters are trivial but are susceptible to errors from many...

The mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) is a dynamic layer of the earth's atmosphere. This region marks the interface at which neutral atmosphere dynamics begin to influence...

Average behavior is often studied, with well-developed techniques from the field of statistics allowing for inferences to be readily made. However, in many atmospheric,...

A number of studies have used time series of air temperature and specific humidity observations to estimate turbulent heat fluxes. These studies require the specification of...
