Temperature profiles in polar latitudes during summer reveal a strong and persistent inversion layer associated with the polar summer tropopause. This inversion layer is...

The second FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC data users workshop was held at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, in Boulder, Colo., and was attended by more than 100...

Insolation changes play an important role in driving monsoon changes at orbital time scales. One key issue that has remained outstanding is whether the Asian monsoon is driven...

A revised approach to cloud microphysical processes in a commonly used bulk microphysics parameterization and the importance of correctly representing properties of cloud ice...

This is Part II of a paper detailing an analysis of high-resolution wind and reflectivity data collected by a mobile, W-band Doppler radar; the analysis depicts the near-surface...

The current Earth's energy imbalance (EEI) can best be estimated from changes in ocean heat content (OHC), complemented by top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiation measurements and an...

As the world's largest developing country, China has undergone ever-increasing demand for electricity during the past few decades. In 1996, China launched the Green Light...

A methodology based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and an Analog Ensemble (AnEn) is presented to generate 72 h deterministic and probabilistic forecasts of power generated...

Responses of tropical cyclones (TCs) to CO2 doubling are explored using coupled global climate models (GCMs) with increasingly refined atmospheric/land horizontal grids (~ 200...

Ozone pollution transported to the Arctic is a significant concern because of the rapid, enhanced warming in high northern latitudes, which is caused, in part, by short-lived...

Alternative meshes of the sphere and adaptive mesh refinement could be immensely beneficial for weather and climate forecasts, but it is not clear how mesh refinement should be...

The WRF-Solar Ensemble Prediction System (WRF-Solar EPS) and a calibration method, the analog ensemble (AnEn), are used to generate calibrated gridded ensemble forecasts of...

Gravity wave (GW) parameterizations control the mean state and variability of the middle atmosphere in present-day climate models. The most recent parameterizations relate the...

While most high-performance computing system operators diligently track computing usage and utilization on a job-by-job basis, far fewer sites have implemented mechanisms for...

In this study, we focus on the effects of fuel bed representation and fire heat and smoke distribution in a coupled fire-atmosphere simulation platform for two landscape-scale...

For the first time, we use a modern climate model with interactive chemistry including the effects of aerosols on photolysis rates to simulate the consequences of regional and...

An alternative form for a height-based terrain-following coordinate is presented here that progressively smoothes the coordinate surfaces with height to remove smaller scale...

Salient depletions (30%-40% of the reference values) were observed in the vertical total electron content (VTEC) from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) network and...

Using High Resolution Dynamic Limb Sounder observations and ERA-Interim reanalysis this study demonstrates that the warm conveyor belt (WCB) is a mechanism responsible for the...

Analysis of observational data suggests two-way interactions between the tropical intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) and synoptic-scale variability (SSV). On one hand, SSV is...
