The boundary layer, land surface, and subsurface are important coevolving components of hydrologic systems. While previous studies have examined the connections between soil...

Objective: To estimate the direct and indirect costs of meningitis to households in the Kassena-Nankana District of Ghana. Methods: A Cost of illness (COI) survey was conducted...

Research on urban vulnerability has grown considerably during recent years, yet consists primarily of case studies based on conflicting theories and paradigms. Assessing urban...

Following the successful launch of the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate (COSMIC) satellites in April 2006, NCEP's Environmental Modeling...

Three coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) simulations of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM: about 21 000 yr before present), conducted under the protocol of...

Increasing precipitation on the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) in a warming climate has the potential to partially mitigate Antarctica's contribution to sea level rise. We show that...

The response of extreme precipitation to warming varies widely among climate models, especially in the tropics. In some models, there have been indications that the rate of...

The 12th Workshop on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate (WAMC), formerly known as the Antarctic MeteorologicalObservation, Modeling, and Forecasting (AMOMF) Workshop (AMOMFW),...

Tropical carbon emissions are largely derived from direct forest clearing processes. Yet, emissions from drought-induced forest fires are, usually, not included in national-...

Magnetic fields extend from the solar interior through the atmosphere. The formation and evolution of active regions can be studied by measuring subsurface flows with local...

This is the third of a series of atlases to result from a study of the global cloud climatology from ground-based observations. The first two atlases (NCAR/TN-201+STR and...

Water management and flood control are major challenges in the western United States. They are heavily influenced by atmospheric river (AR) storms that produce both beneficial...

We present the first-ever global assessment of thermospheric nitric oxide infrared radiative flux (NOF) variability. NOF (W/m(2)) from 100-to 250-km altitude is extracted from...

In the presence of waves due, e.g., to gravity, rotation, or a quasi-uniform magnetic field, energy transfer timescales, spectra, and physical structures within turbulent flows...

Evaluation of numerical weather prediction (NWP) is critical for both forecasters and researchers. Through such evaluation, forecasters can understand the strengths and...

Accurate weather benefit many key societal functions and activities, including agriculture, transportation, recreation, and basic human and infrastructural safety. Over the past...

Irrigation affects climate conditions - and especially hot extremes - in various regions across the globe. Yet how these climatic effects compare to other anthropogenic forcings...

The authors revisit the issue regarding the predictability of a flow that possesses many scales of motion raised by Lorenz in 1969 and apply the general systems theory developed...

Several previous studies have highlighted the irrigation-induced impacts on the global and regional water cycle, energy budget, and near-surface climate. While land models are...

The Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC) mission launched six small satellites in April 2006, each carrying a GPS radio occultation...
