In this study, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is used to assess gravity wave forcing of the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) in January-February 2006 and 2007....

The Taylor Hypothesis (TH) as applied to rainfall is a proposition about the space–time covariance structure of the rainfall field. Specifically, it supposes that if a...

With the operational deployment of the Stepped Frequency Microwave Radiometer (SFMR), hurricane reconnaissance and research aircraft provide near real-time observations of the...

Discoveries in the geosciences are increasingly taking place across traditional disciplinary boundaries. The EarthCube program, a community-driven project supported by the U.S....

We present OH observations from Nitrogen, Aerosol Composition, and Halogens on a Tall Tower 2011 (NACHTT-11) held at the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory in Weld County,...

The development of human civilizations has occurred at a time of stable climate. This climate stability is now threatened by human activity. The rising global climate risk...

This study investigates the characteristics of space-borne Lightning Mapping Imager (LMI) lightning products and their relationships with cloud properties using ground-based...

Weather radar is now widely viewed by the general public in the United States via television, computers/tablets, and smartphones. Anyone can consult near-real-time maps and...

The Community Land Model (CLM) can simulate planting and harvesting of crops but does not include effects of cultivation on soil carbon decomposition. The biogeochemistry model...

The rank histogram filter (RHF) and the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) are assessed for soil moisture esti-mation using perfect model (identical twin) synthetic data assimilation...

Analysis of a pair of three-dimensional simulations of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) reveals a significant sensitivity of convective momentum transport (CMT), MCS motion,...

The Amazon Basin plays key role in atmospheric chemistry, biodiversity and climate change. In this study we applied nanoelectrospray (nanoESI) ultra-high-resolution mass...

Parameter uncertainty in atmospheric model forcing and closure schemes has motivated both parameter estimation with data assimilation and use of pre-specified distributions to...

The high correlation between the canopy stomatal uptake and ozone deposition velocity is found to be strongly dominated by their diurnal variations. By averaging observed...

AirCore in situ vertical profiles sample the atmosphere from near the surface to the lower stratosphere, making them ideal for the validation of satellite tropospheric trace gas...

Water managers are actively incorporating climate change information into their long- and short-term planning processes. This is generally seen as a step in the right direction...

The Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report (TOAR) is an activity of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry Project. This paper is a component of the report, focusing on...

Plague is a flea-borne rodent-associated zoonotic disease that is caused by Yersinia pestis and characterized by long quiescent periods punctuated by rapidly spreading epidemics...

The direct and semi-direct radiative effects of biomass burning aerosols (BBAs) are investigated over southern Africa and the southeastern Atlantic during the Aerosols,...

The concentration, size, and composition of non-refractory submicron aerosol (NR-PM₁) was measured over Mexico City and central Mexico with a High-Resolution Time-of-Flight...
