A multiradar network, operated in the southern Gulf of California (GoC) region during the 2004 North American Monsoon Experiment, is used to analyze the spatial and temporal...

Tropical anvil clouds have a profound impact on Earth's weather and climate. Their role in Earth's energy balance and hydrologic cycle is heavily modulated by the vertical...

Atlantic tropical cyclone activity is known to oscillate between multi-annual periods of high and low activity. These changes have been linked to the Atlantic multidecadal...

Satellite observations show a near-zero trend in the top-of-atmosphere global-mean net cloud radiative effect (CRE), suggesting that clouds did not further cool nor heat the...

It is important to routinely examine and update models used to predict auroral emissions resulting from precipitating electrons in Earth's magnetotail. These models are commonly...

Interannual variability of tropospheric moisture and temperature are key aspects of Earth's climate. In this study, monthly mean specific humidity (q) and temperature (T)...

A large database of more than 18,000 subauroral ion drift (SAID) events from DMSP observations from 1987 to 2012 is used to systematically investigate the features of SAID. SAID...

Increased computing power makes it possible to simulate larger Earth system model ensembles with higher output frequency, finer spatial resolution, and extended simulation...

Four state-of-the-science numerical weather prediction (NWP) models were used to perform mountain wave (MW)-resolving hindcasts over the Drake Passage of a 10-day period in 2010...

Efforts to manage living marine resources (LMRs) under climate change need projections of future ocean conditions, yet most global climate models (GCMs) poorly represent...

Forecast errors with respect to wind, temperature, moisture, clouds, and precipitation largely correspond to the limited capability of current Earth system models to capture and...

Subseasonal surface wind variability strongly impacts the annual mean and subseasonal turbulent atmospheric surface fluxes. However, the impacts of subseasonal wind variability...

The momentum variables of streamfunction and velocity potential are used as control variables in a number of operational variational data assimilation systems. However, in this...

Atmospheric intraseasonal variability in the tropical Atlantic is analyzed using satellite winds, outgoing longwave radiation (OLR), and reanalysis products during 2000-08. The...

The international scientific community is increasingly recognizing the role of natural systems in climate-change mitigation. While forests have historically been the primary...

The global characteristics of tropical cyclones (TCs) simulated by several climate models are analyzed and compared with observations. The global climate models were forced by...

While urbanites are vulnerable to a suite of risks that climate change might aggravate (e.g., mortality from extreme temperatures and property damages from floods), urban...

This study presents a diagnosis of a multiresolution approach using the Model for Prediction Across Scales-Atmosphere (MPAS-A) for simulating regional climate. Four Atmospheric...

We compare simulations from three high-top (with upper lid above 120 km) and five medium-top (with upper lid around 80km) atmospheric models with observations of odd nitrogen...

Based on daily precipitation data from 115 climate stations, seasonal and annual precipitation and their extremes over the Tibetan Plateau and its surroundings (TPS) in...
