We develop a stochastic aerosol-snow albedo model that explicitly resolves size distribution of aerosols internally mixed with various snow grains. We use the model to quantify...

The purpose of this report is to determine the nature of systematic errors in several different seasonal cycle versions of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)...

Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are critical components of global energy and water cycles and significantly contribute to extreme weather events. However, projecting future...

Increasing the albedo of urban surfaces has received attention as a strategy to mitigate urban heat islands. Here, the effects of globally installing white roofs are assessed...

[1] A quality control ( QC) procedure is applied to the Challenging Minisatellite Payload ( CHAMP) level-2 Global Position System (GPS) radio occultation (RO) data provided by...

New, definitive measures of precipitation frequency provided by CloudSat are used to assess the realism of global model precipitation. The character of liquid precipitation...

Thunderstorms and associated hazards like lightning can pose a serious threat to people outside and infrastructure. Thus, very short-term prediction capabilities (called...

LM3 is a new model of terrestrial water, energy, and carbon, intended for use in global hydrologic analyses and as a component of earth-system and physical-climate models. It is...

Reconstructions of past climates in both time and space provide important insight into the range and rate of change within the climate system. However, producing a coherent...

Variations in terrestrial oxygen-isotope reconstructions from ice cores and speleothems have been primarily attributed to climatic changes of surface air temperature,...

The Greenland ice sheet is one of the largest contributors to global mean sea-level rise today and is expected to continue to lose mass as the Arctic continues to warm. The two...

A process study using large-eddy simulations is carried out to explore the dominant 1-D processes that affect mixed layer (ML) properties during an event of summer Monsoon...

The auroral hemispheric power (HP) has been calculated from the averaged energy flux derived from Far-ultraviolet emission observations made by the global ultraviolet imager...

Understanding the influence of clouds on amplified Arctic surface warming remains an important unsolved research problem. Here, this cloud influence is directly quantified by...

The 1970 Colorado Lee Wave Observational Program provided the second period of intensive measurements of mountain-induced airflow over the central Rocky Mountains. The first...

Heat is one of the most serious hazards in the world as it affects human health and is extremely dangerous to vulnerable populations such as the elderly, people with preexisting...

Numerical weather, climate, or Earth system models involve the coupling of components. At a broad level, these components can be classified as the resolved fluid dynamics,...

Fire is a fundamental part of the Earth system, with impacts on vegetation structure, biomass, and community composition, the latter mediated in part via key fire-tolerance...

A benchmarking exercise was organized within the framework of the European Action Weather Intelligence for Renewable Energies ("WIRE") with the purpose of evaluating the...
