As the strongest interannual perturbation to the climate system, El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) dominates the year-to-year variability of the ocean energy budget. Here we...

Applying a kernel smoother to a two-dimensional field can be a laborious and computationally expensive process if carried out in the most obvious fashion (applying a double...

Bulk microphysical schemes use the capacitance model for ice vapor growth in combination with mass-size relationships to determine the evolution of ice water content (IWC) and...

In order to understand the near-cloud aerosol properties and their impact on radiative forcing, we utilized in situ aircraft measurements of aerosol particles and cloud droplets...

Three well-observed Atlantic tropical weather systems that occurred during the 2010 hurricane season are analyzed. One case was former Tropical Storm Gaston that failed to...

Aquarius sea surface salinity (SSS) reveals the presence of interannual variations in the Caribbean with about 0.5 psu change between salty and fresh events, which propagate...

This paper highlights progress with the development of a petascale implementation of general-purpose high-resolution (nonoscillatory) hydrodynamical simulation code EULAG [Prusa...

This report reproduces the introspective review meeting about operational lessons learned from the Line Islands experiment that took place during March and April 1967....

This document is a description of the design, implementation, and operation of the third-generation NCAR General Circulation Model (GCM). It contains the information needed by...

The diurnal cycle of coastal rainfall over western Puerto Rico was studied with high-frequency radiosondes launched by undergraduate students at the University of Puerto Rico at...

Numerous components of the Arctic freshwater system (atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, and terrestrial hydrology) have experienced large changes over the past few decades, and...

Solar eruptions cause geomagnetic storms in the near-Earth environment, creating spectacular aurorae visible to the human eye and invisible dynamic changes permeating all of...

Methodological choices can have strong effects on projections of climate change impacts on hydrology. In this study, we investigate the ways in which four different steps in the...

Urban air pollution absorbs and scatters solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and thus has a potentially large effect on tropospheric photochemical rates. We present the first...

This study presents an analytical model for the amplitude of lee waves on the boundary-layer inversion in two-dimensional flow. Previous linear lee wave models, in which the...

The newly developed High-Performance Instrumented Airborne Platform for Environmental Research (HIAPER) Cloud Radar (HCR) is an airborne, W-band, dual-polarization, Doppler...

Recent paleoclimate reconstructions have suggested millennial-scale variability in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool region coincident with events of the last deglaciation. Here, we...

We discuss the design and performance of an airborne (underwing) in-line digital holographic imaging system developed for characterizing atmospheric cloud water droplets and ice...

The spatial distribution and properties of submicron organic aerosol (OA) are among the key sources of uncertainty in our understanding of aerosol effects on climate....

This assessment by the Environmental Effects Assessment Panel (EEAP) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) provides the latest scientific update since our most...
