An equatorward wind has been observed first by the balloon-borne Fabry-Perot interferometer called High-Altitude Interferometer Wind Observation on the equatorward side of the...

Knowledge of the probability distributions of surface wind speeds (SWS) is essential for surface flux estimation, wind power estimation, and wind risk assessments. The two-...

The 30-year simulations of seasonal snow cover in 22 physically based models driven with bias-corrected meteorological reanalyses are examined at four sites with long records of...

Uncertainty in cumulus convection parameterization is one of the most important causes of model climate drift through interactions between large-scale background and local...

The key assumption underlying convection parameterizations is that rising plumes develop in a horizontally homogeneous environment. With this in mind, we investigate the impact...

Idealized models can reveal insights into Earth's climate system by reducing its complexities. However, their potential is undermined by the scarcity of fully coupled idealized...

This work describes the Coupled Atmosphere Wildland Fire Environment (CAWFE) model, which is used to simulate wildland fires. CAWFE is comprised of a numerical weather...

It is widely expected that global emissions of atmospheric aerosols and their precursors will decrease strongly throughout the remainder of the 21st century, due to emission...

Geomagnetic activity in Earth's outer magnetosphere stimulates intense and sometimes explosive flows of electromagnetic power propagating earthward as Alfven waves. Observations...

This paper describes approximations that have been found useful in calculating the transmission of molecular gases in planetary atmospheres. This includes the use of band models...

This study contains information not previously published, including virtually all useful 100- and 200-mb data obtained from 1966 through 1970. At the cutoff date of the previous...

The aeronautical use of electronic altimeters is to measure the absolute clearance of an aircraft above the earth's surface. In the support of atmospheric research, accurate...

The reported range for global production of nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO₂) by lightning remains large (e.g., 32 to 664 mol NOx flash⁻¹), despite incorporating results from...

Data from the Tropical Warm Pool International Cloud Experiment (TWP-ICE) were used to evaluate Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulations with foci on the...

This paper presents a detailed model‐data comparative study of the 17 March 2015 geomagnetic storm using the high‐resolution version of the...

This paper presents observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) to compare the relative capabilities of two geostationary thermal infrared (TIR) instruments to measure ozone...

When our Sun was young it rotated much more rapidly than now. Observations of young, rapidly rotating stars indicate that many possess substantial magnetic activity and strong...

Coupled carbon cycle--climate models in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, phase 5 (CMIP5), Earth system model ensemble simulate the effects of changes in anthropogenic...

CGILS—the CFMIP-GASS Intercomparison of Large Eddy Models (LESs) and single column models (SCMs)—investigates the mechanisms of cloud feedback in SCMs and LESs under idealized...

The use of hindcast climatic data is quite extended for multiple applications. However, this approach needs the support of a validation process to allow its drawbacks and,...
