This paper proposes that the maximum entropy principle can be used for determining the drop size distribution of hydrometeors. The maximum entropy principle can be applied to...

The inherent integration of novel hardware and software components on HPC is expected to considerably aggravate the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) on scientific applications,...

This report is part of a series prepared for the Materials Research Project of the NCAR Scientific Balloon Facility in order to extend the reliability and capabilities of...

The NASA Arctic Research of the Composition of the Troposphere from Aircraft and Satellites (ARCTAS) mission was conducted in two 3-week deployments based in Alaska (April 2008)...

To investigate the impacts of frequently assimilating only surface pressure (PS) observations, the Data Assimilation Research Testbed and the Community Atmosphere Model...

Numerical models have been developed to investigate and understand responses of biogeochemical cycle to global changes. Steady state, when a system is in dynamic equilibrium, is...

Background error covariance (BEC) is one of the key components in data assimilation systems for numerical weather prediction. Recently, a scheme of using an inhomogeneous and...

The Community Atmosphere Model (CAM6.1), the atmospheric component of the Community Earth System Model (CESM; version 2.1), simulates the life cycle (emission, transport, and...

Dr. Akira Kasahara reflects on his career of more than 65 years in the field of meteorology, specifically the fields of numerical weather prediction and computational modeling...

Iron is a key nutrient for phytoplankton growth in the surface ocean. At high latitudes, the iron cycle is closely related to the dynamics of sea ice. In recent decades, Arctic...

Detailed urban information, including land use/land cover (LULC), anthropogenic heat (AH) release, and urban canopy parameters (UCP), play critical roles in meteorological field...

The 25-26 August 2018 space weather event occurred during the solar minimum period and surprisingly became the third largest geomagnetic storm of the entire 24th solar cycle. We...

Under the sponsorship of the Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), a symposium on boundary layer meteorology was held at Nanjing University of Information Science and...

In the past, the concepts of return levels and return periods have been standard and important tools for engineering design. However, these concepts are based on the assumption...

This Technical Note was prepared during the author's year-long research stay at NCAR's Atmospheric Technology Division (ATD). It is a translated, revised and slightly extended...

Convection-allowing simulations of two warm seclusion cyclones are used to elucidate the vorticity dynamics that contribute to intensification of these systems. The rapidly...

Methanol is the second-most abundant organic gas in the remote atmosphere after methane, but its sources are poorly understood. Here, we report a global budget of methanol...

Deep convection can transport surface moisture and pollution from the planetary boundary layer to the upper troposphere (UT) within a few minutes. The convective transport of...

We demonstrate the Parker Magnetostatic Theorem in terms of a small neighborhood in solution space containing continuous force-free magnetic fields in small deviations from the...

Low-cloud feedbacks contribute large uncertainties to climate projections and estimated climate sensitivity. A key physical process modulating low-cloud feedbacks is shallow...
