The increasing frequency and severity of wildfires due to climate change pose health risks to migrant farm workers laboring in wildfire-prone regions. This study focuses on...

Global Climate is one chapter from the State of the Climate in 2019 annual report. Compiled by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information, State of the Climate in...

A dramatic thermospheric temperature enhancement and inversion layer (TTEIL) was observed by the Fe Boltzmann lidar at McMurdo, Antarctica during a geomagnetic storm (Chu et al....

Polarization measurements have become nearly indispensible in lidar cloud and aerosol studies. Despite polarization's widespread use in lidar, its theoretical description has...

The goal of limiting global mean warming to well below 2 degrees C, and possibly to 1.5 degrees C, emerged in the Paris Agreement, motivated by the belief that achieving these...

Weekly carbonate chemistry condition data recorded between 2008 and 2014 in the Chuuk lagoon (7.3°N and 151.5°E) of the Federated States of Micronesia, located in the western...

A discontinuous Galerkin (DG) transport scheme is presented that employs the Yin-Yang grid on the sphere. The Yin-Yang grid is a quasi-uniform overset mesh comprising two...

The Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP) is a co-ordinated international climate modelling initiative to study and understand climate and environments of the Late...

Three 40-member ensemble experiments and a 700 year control run are used to study initial value predictability in the North Pacific in Community Climate System Model version 3...

The response of the hydrological cycle to climate forcings can be understood within the atmospheric energy budget framework. In this study precipitation and energy budget...

Most dust forecast models focus on short, subseasonal lead times, that is, 3 to 6 days, and the skill of seasonal prediction is not clear. In this study we examine the potential...

Irrigation representation in land surface models has been advanced over the past decade, but the soil moisture (SM) data from SMAP satellite have not yet been utilized in large-...

A North American bark beetle infestation has killed billions of trees, increasing soil nitrogen and raising concern for N loss impacts on downstream ecosystems and water...

Winter-storm hydrometeor distributions along the Front Range in eastern Colorado are studied with a ground-based two-dimensional video disdrometer. The instrument provides...

Solar extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) irradiance is the dominant energy source for ionizing and heating the Earth's upper atmosphere. It is common to assume that the spectra of...

A global stratospheric ozone data set for 1979 - 2005 is described. Interannual variations are derived from analysis of Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE I and II)...

The mid-Pliocene (similar to 3 Ma) is one of the most recent warm periods with high CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere and resulting high temperatures, and it is often cited...

How the spatial perturbations of the first and second moments of the velocity and pressure fields differ for flow over a train of gentle hills covered by either sparse or dense...

The US Northern Great Plains and the Canadian Prairies are known as the world's breadbaskets for their large spring wheat production and exports to the world. It is essential to...

Using the thermosphere-ionosphere-mesosphere electrodynamics-general circulation model, we investigate the effect of quasi 2 day wave (QTDW) dissipation on thermospheric...
