Understanding how people view flash flood risks can help improve risk communication, ultimately improving outcomes. This article analyzes data from 26 mental models interviews...

In nutrient-limited conditions, phytoplankton growth at fronts is enhanced by winds, which drive upward nutrient fluxes via enhanced turbulent mixing and upwelling. Hence,...

Based on the field observation and WRF-CLM model, the effects of Gyaring and Ngoring lakes on the short-term climate over the Yellow River source area during May to September...

This document conveys the recommendations of the NOSS Science Working Group charged with three tasks: first, to recommend sensor modifications and additions to fill the 25 % of...

We report measurements of bromine monoxide (BrO) and use an observationally constrained chemical box model to infer total gas-phase inorganic bromine (Br-y) over the tropical...

Policies to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will not only slow climate change but can also have ancillary benefits of improved air quality. Here we examine the co-...

A unique conjunction of the Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) and the Challenging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP) satellites provided simultaneous...

We present a survey on coronal prominence cavities conducted using 19 months of data from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument aboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory...

The coupled dynamics of turbulent airflow and a spectrum of waves are known to modify air-sea momentum and scalar fluxes. Waves traveling at oblique angles to the wind are...

The ability to perform data assimilation in the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model eXtended version (WACCMX) is implemented using the Data Assimilation Research Testbed...

Reliable estimates of future changes in extreme weather phenomena, such as tropical cyclone maximum wind speeds, are critical for climate change impact assessments and the...

Infectious disease outbreaks emerged across the globe during the recent 2015-2016 El Nino event, re-igniting research interest in how climate events influence disease dynamics....

Ice crystal submicron structures have a large impact on the optical properties of cirrus clouds and consequently on their radiative effect. Although there is growing evidence...

A high-resolution cloud-resolving model (CRM) simulation is developed here for a two-dimensional Walker circulation over a planetary-scale domain of 40 000 km for an extended...

In the analysis of data obtained from SA systems, the most common approach is to assume models of the diffraction pattern without relating it to the statistical properties of...

The structure of the analysis increments in a variational data assimilation scheme is strongly driven by the formulation of the background error covariance matrix, especially in...

This study examines the transport of chemical species to the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) by Typhoon Mireille (1991). We follow an integrated research approach,...

Using observations from aircraft, surface stations and a satellite instrument, we comprehensively evaluate multi-model simulations of carbon monoxide (CO) and ozone (O₃) in the...

Formation of isoprene nitrates (INs) is an important free radical chain termination step ending production of ozone and possibly affecting formation of secondary organic...

The phase of precipitation formed within the atmosphere is highly dependent on the vertical temperature profile through which it falls. In particular, several precipitation...
