In addition to measuring forecast accuracy in terms of errors in a tropical system's forecast track and other meteorological characteristics, it is important to measure the...

Using data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), the modulation of convection by African easterly waves (AEWs) is investigated over regions of the east Atlantic...

The latitudinal structure of the nighttime thermospheric mass density at 385 km has been investigated using observations made by the accelerometer onboard the CHAMP satellite...

The climatology of the Tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL) in two state-of-the-art general circulation models is compared with observations. Results indicate that global models are...

We developed a new version of the Alfred Wegener Institute Climate Model (AWI-CM3), which has higher skills in representing the observed climatology and better computational...

The wind-driven stably stratified mid-latitude oceanic surface turbulent boundary layer is computationally simulated in the presence of a specified surface gravity-wave field....

Considerable attention has been devoted to the use of persistent identifiers for assets of interest to scientific and other communities alike over the last two decades. Among...

Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from fires in tropical forest fuels were quantified using Proton-Transfer-Reaction Mass Spectrometry (PTRMS), Fourier Transform...

Summer heat waves are a significant public health threat in China. This paper took Wuhan (one of the four hottest furnace cities in China) as an example to explore several...

Black carbon (BC) concentrations observed in 22 snowpits sampled in the northwest sector of the Greenland ice sheet in April 2014 have allowed us to identify a strong and...

Meridional sensible and latent heat transport is evaluated for regions with landfalling atmospheric rivers using both MERRA-2 reanalysis and fully coupled CESM1.3 high-...

The Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) is used to study the influence of gravity waves on the generation and evolution of an elevated stratopause following a...

The mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) plays a critical role in linking the middle and upper atmosphere. However, many General Circulation Models do not model the MLT and...

The effect of warming on severe convective storm potential is commonly explained in terms of changes in vertically integrated (“bulk”) environmental parameters, such...

The Arctic Ocean is projected to become seasonally ice-free before midcentury unless greenhouse gas emissions are rapidly reduced, but exactly when this could occur depends...

BackgroundCooking over open fires using solid fuels is both common practice throughout much of the world and widely recognized to contribute to human health, environmental, and...

Helioseismic data from the Helioseismic Magnetic Imager instrument have revealed a sunquake associated with the X1 flare SOL2014-03-29T17:48 in active region NOAA 12017. We try...

An ensemble of initialized decadal prediction (DP) experiments using the Community Climate System Model, version 4 (CCSM4) shows considerable skill at forecasting changes in...

Observed multidecadal trends in extratropical atmospheric flow, such as the positive trend in the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index, may be attributable to a number of...

Measurements of soil moisture, both its global distribution and temporal variations, are required to study the water and carbon cycles. A global network of in situ soil moisture...
