Extratropical SSTs can be influenced by the reemergence mechanism, whereby thermal anomalies in deep winter mixed layer persist at depth through summer and are then reentrained...

Monsoon low pressure systems (MLPSs) are among the most important synoptic-scale disturbances of the South Asian summer monsoon. Potential changes in their characteristics in a...

Large wind shears around the mesopause region play an important role in atmospheric neutral dynamics and ionospheric electrodynamics. Based on previous observations using...

A 62-member ensemble of coupled general circulation model (GCM) simulations of the years 1940 - 2080, including the effects of projected greenhouse gas increases, is examined....

Predictions of the Earth system, such as weather forecasts and climate projections, require models informed by observations at many levels. Some methods for integrating models...

Radiative forcing by reflecting (e.g., sulfate, SO₄) and absorbing (e.g., black carbon, BC) aerosols is distinct: the former cools the planet by reducing solar radiation at...

University faculty joined the Developmental Testbed Center (DTC) for a live, virtual 3-day workshop to learn about the capabilities of the DTC's containerized end-to-end NWP...

North American Monsoon (NAM) rainfall is a vital water resource in the United States Southwest, providing 60-80% of the region's annual precipitation. However, NAM rainfall is...

Despite substantial reductions in anthropogenic emissions, ozone (O3) pollution remains a severe environmental problem in urban China. These reductions affect ozone formation by...

This study focuses on the analysis of the extreme precipitation event in Central Nepal on 19 July 2007 which was part of a sequence of rain events leading to the devastating...

Compound hot–dry events—co-occurring hot and dry extremes—frequently cause damages to human and natural systems, often exceeding separate impacts from heatwaves and...

The transition between the middle atmosphere and the thermosphere is known as the MLT region (for mesosphere and lower thermosphere). This area has some character- istics that...

Boundary layer turbulent processes affect tropical cyclone (TC) structure and intensity change. However, uncertainties in the parameterization of the planetary boundary layer...

The demographic features of a growing number of international migrants increasingly impacts socioeconomic development in various countries of the world. However, information on...

Snowfall is one of the primary drivers of the global cryosphere and is declining in many regions of the world with widespread hydrological and ecological consequences. Previous...

This study isolates the influence of sea ice mean state on pre-industrial climate and transient 1850-2100 climate change within a fully coupled global model: The Community Earth...

FLUXNET comprises globally distributed eddycovariance-based estimates of carbon fluxes between the biosphere and the atmosphere. Since eddy covariance flux towers have a...

A tropical cyclone bogus data assimilation (BDA) scheme is built in the Weather Research and Forecasting three-dimensional variational data assimilation system (WRF 3D-VAR)....

A recently developed object identification algorithm is applied to multisensor precipitation estimates from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM 3B42) to detect and...

The role of direct radiative forcing of desert dust aerosol in the change from wet to dry climate observed in the African Sahel region in the last half of the twentieth century...
