Following our previous investigation of the turbulence impact on cloud-base single-size CCN activation, this study considers a similar problem assuming CCN size distribution...

Despite the consensus on the overall downward trend in Amazon forest loss in the previous decade, estimates of yearly carbon emissions from deforestation still vary widely....

In this work, we carry out a comprehensive modeling study, using the Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Electrodynamics General Circulation Model, to explore the physical processes by...

Various improvements were made to a state-of-the-art aerosol-cloud model and comparison of the model results with observations from field campaigns was performed. The strength...

It is a major challenge to develop gridded precipitation and temperature estimates that adequately resolve the extreme spatial gradients present in the Hawaiian Islands. The...

Joule heating by high‐latitude ionospheric electric fields is thought to be underestimated by models, and it has been conjectured that the source of the underestimation is...

Clouds over the Southern Ocean exist in a pristine environment that results in unique microphysical properties. However, in situ observations of these clouds are rare, and the...

We discuss the current theoretical understanding of the large scale flows observed in the solar convection zone, namely the differential rotation and meridional circulation....

Evaluations of GCM cloudiness typically compare climatological output with observations, but averaging over time can obscure the presence of compensating errors. A more...

The Constellation Observing System for Meteorology Ionosphere and Climate (COSMIC)/Formosa Satellite 3 (FORMOSAT-3) is a six-satellite radio occultation mission that was...

Motivated by low-altitude cusp observations of small-scale (similar to 1 km) field-aligned currents (SSFACs) interpreted as ionospheric Alfven resonator modes, we have...

The Studies of Emissions and Atmospheric Composition, Clouds and Climate Coupling by Regional Surveys (SEAC4RS) field mission based at Ellington Field, Texas, during August and...

An event-based assessment of the sea surface temperature (SST) threshold at the genesis of tropical mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) is performed in this study. We show that...

This study evaluates the performance of four bulk-type microphysics schemes, Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) double-moment 6-class (WDM6), WRF double-moment 7-class...

On 2017 August 21, the Airborne Infrared Spectrometer (AIR-Spec) observed the total solar eclipse at an altitude of 14 km from aboard the NSF/NCAR Gulfstream V research...

The two dominant drivers of the global mean sea level (GMSL) variability at interannual timescales are steric changes due to changes in ocean heat content and barystatic changes...

A large fraction (35%-50%) of observed La Niña events last two years or longer, in contrast to the great majority of El Niño events, which last one year. Here, the authors...

This technical note contains the detailed arguments of the proof: The main Theorem 4.2 gives conditions on k guaranteeing that the EEC is satisfied and Corollary 4.3 verifies...

Computational kernels, which are small pieces of software that selectively capture the characteristics of larger applications, have been used successfully for decades. Kernels...

The impacts of volcanic eruptions on climate are increasingly well understood, but the mirror question of how climate changes affect volcanic systems and processes, which we...
