The impact of volcanic ash on seasonal snow and glacier mass balance has been much less studied than that of carbonaceous particles and mineral dust. We present here the first...

Ice water content (IWC) profiles are derived from retrievals of optical extinction from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) satellite lidar, using a...

Globally, latent heating associated with a change in precipitation is balanced by changes to atmospheric radiative cooling and sensible heat fluxes. Both components can be...

A new overflow parameterization (OFP) of density-driven flows through ocean ridges via narrow, unresolved channels has been developed and implemented in the ocean component of...

A thermospheric O and N-2 column density ratio (Sigma O/N-2) depletion with long-duration (>16 hr) was observed by the Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk at the...

The representation of tropical cyclone track, intensity, and structure in a set of 69 parallel forecasts performed at each of two horizontal grid increments with the Advanced...

The influence of the hydrological cycle in the greenhouse gas (GHG) effect of tropospheric ozone (O-3) is quantified in terms of the O-3 longwave radiative effect (LWRE), which...

The Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) four-dimensional variational data assimilation (4D-Var) system described in Part I of this study is compared with its...

A stochastically perturbed parameterization (SPP) approach that spatially and temporally perturbs parameters and variables in the Mellor-Yamada-Nakanishi-Niino planetary...

The concept of improving the accuracy of numerical weather forecasts by targeting additional meteorological observations in areas where the initial condition error is suspected...

This study highlights the relative importance of internally generated versus externally forced climate trends over the next 50 yr (2010-60) at local and regional scales over...

A new Community Earth System Model/Modular Ocean Model 6 (CESM/MOM6) ocean-only regional 1/12° configuration of the Caribbean Sea is presented and validated. The model...

This report describes a research and development program conducted for the National Center for Atmospheric Research by the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, St. Paul,...

Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are pivotal in global energy/water cycles and typically produce extreme weather events. Despite their importance, our understanding of their...

As part of the Tropical Forest and Fire Emissions Experiment (TROFFEE), tropical forest fuels were burned in a large, biomass-fire simulation facility and the smoke was...

This study reports the synchronization between the chromospheric and photometric variability at time-scale of about 1.6-1.8 yr as observed for the young, rapidly rotating solar...

This paper follows up on the conclusion by Craig and Sneyd (2005) that the solutions to a linearized magnetostatic problem are counterexamples to the magnetostatic model of...

A general procedure for creating research-quality field program sounding datasets is described. Software tools needed to implement this procedure are provided. Enormous...

Numerical solutions are presented for steady flow in a zonal channel subjected to a meridionally varying zonal wind stress at the upper surface. The model used is adiabatic,...
