Submesoscale dynamics play a key role in setting the stratification of the ocean surface mixed layer and mediating air-sea exchange, making them especially relevant to...

Energy and carbon balance implications of representing vegetation using a composite or mosaic approach in a land surface scheme are investigated. In the composite approach the...

In this work, the Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Electrodynamics General Circulation Model is used to investigate the responses of ionospheric electrodynamic processes to the solar...

Microphysical characteristics of premonsoon and monsoon deep cumuli over India observed by an instrumented aircraft are contrasted focusing on influences of environmental...

Planetary boundary layer (PBL) parameterizations in mesoscale models have been developed for horizontal resolutions that cannot resolve any turbulence in the PBL, and evaluation...

During the CINDY/DYNAMO field campaign, exceptionally large upper ocean responses to strong westerly wind events associated with the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) were...

Wildfires are a substantial but poorly quantified source of tropospheric ozone (O-3). Here, to investigate the highly variable O-3 chemistry in wildfire plumes, we exploit the...

This study investigates the impact of abnormally moist soil conditions across the southern Great Plains upon the overland reintensification of North Atlantic Tropical Cyclone...

One of the key challenges in polar middle atmosphere research is to quantify the total forcing by energetic particle precipitation (EPP) and assess the related response over...

Mountain-based GPS radio occultation observations were conducted at Yaogu mountain top and Jiugong mountain top in Hubei province respectively. Occultation events data were...

It is important to understand how future environmental policies will impact both climate change and air pollution. Although targeting near-term climate forcers (NTCFs), defined...

El Nino and La Nina events show a wide range of durations over the historical record. The predictability of event duration has remained largely unknown, although multiyear...

We implement a parallel Multi-resolution Approximation (MRA) in Matlab using a Shallow-Tree approach designed for distributed computing environments and High-Performance...

The poleward expansion of the Hadley cells is one of the most robust modeled responses to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations. There are many proposed mechanisms for...

Polar surface temperatures are expected to warm 2–3 times faster than the global-mean surface temperature: a phenomenon referred to as polar warming amplification. Therefore,...

Future anthropogenic climate change in the Southern Hemisphere is likely to be driven by two opposing effects, stratospheric ozone recovery and increasing greenhouse gases. We...

The North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) is an international effort designed to investigate the uncertainties in regional-scale projections of...

Observations from satellites and a ground-based station are combined to construct a global data set for investigating the tertiary ozone maximum in the winter mesosphere for the...

The calculation of nonparametric quantile regression curve estimates is often computational intensive, as typically an expensive nonlinear optimization problem is involved. This...

A better understanding of multiscale interactions within the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO), including momentum exchanges, is critical for improved MJO prediction skill. In...
