To increase the reliability and extend the capabilities of scientific ballooning, polyethylene balloon films were measured for impact toughness at +23 and -80��C, using...

Our Sun exhibits strong convective dynamo action which results in magnetic flux bundles emerging through the stellar surface as magnetic spots. Global-scale dynamo action is...

In the atmospheric boundary layer that is affected by turbulent motions and inhomogeneous surface chemical emissions, short-lived reactive species may not be completely mixed...

The characteristics of atmospheric tides in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere region are investigated using radio occultation (RO) measurements performed by the...

The large socioeconomic costs of droughts make them a crucial target for impact assessments of climate change scenarios. Using multiple drought metrics and a set of simulations...

Soil moisture predictability on seasonal to decadal (S2D) continuum timescales over North America is examined from the Community Earth System Modeling (CESM) experiments. The...

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

Recent progress in computing and model development has initiated the era of global storm-resolving modeling, and with it the potential to transform weather and climate...

Accurate magnetic field measurements at ground and low-Earth orbit (LEO) are crucial to describe Earth's magnetic field. One of the challenges with processing LEO magnetic field...

Broadband short-wave (SW) surface direct and diffuse irradiances are not typically within the set of output variables produced by numerical weather prediction (NWP) models....

Statistical downscaling is widely used to improve spatial and or temporal distributions of meteorological variables from regional and global climate models. This downscaling is...

The Boundary Layer Evolution (BLE) missions of the International H2O Project (IHOP_2002) were designed to provide comprehensive observations of the distribution of water vapor...

Historical global land use and land cover change (LULCC) emissions of 160PgC represent a third of all human CO2 emissions from 1850 to 2010. Future land management decisions...

The influence of the sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) on a quasi-2-day wave (QTDW) with westward zonal wave number 3 (W3) is investigated using the...

Surface level ozone, or tropospheric ozone, is a common pollutant and can cause harm to a wide variety of plant species. Observing and analyzing ozone concentrations and foliar...

This report includes: Walter McIntyre���s Future Developments within SCD, Warren Washington���s keynote address entitled ���Computing in the Atmospheric...

Powerful 'space weather' events caused by solar activity pose serious risks to human health, safety, economic activity and national security. Spikes in deaths due to heart...

Many of the scientific and societal challenges in understanding and preparing for global environmental change rest upon our ability to understand and predict the water cycle...

The connection between the dominant mode of interannual variability in the tropical troposphere, the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and the entry of stratospheric water...

The Common Land Model (CLM) was developed for community use by a grassroots collaboration of scientists who have an interest in making a general land model available for public...
