Vertical shears of horizontal winds play an important role in the dynamics of the upper atmosphere. Prior observations have indicated that these shears predominantly occur in...

Previous modeling work showed that aerosol can affect the position of the tropical rain belt, i.e., the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ). Yet it remains unclear which...

The workshop provided a platform for the cloud modeling community to discuss the current issues, progress, and challenges based on the four cases. Each case was assigned a full...

Quantification of heat and constituent transport by gravity waves (GWs) in global models is challenging due to limited model resolutions. Current parameterization schemes suffer...

Context. Strong ultraviolet (UV) emission from the sun will be observed by the Lyman-alpha Solar Telescope (LST) on board the Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S),...

A 10-hour wave in the mesospheric and lower thermospheric neutral winds and temperature was observed at northern high-latitude stations Resolute (74.9degreesN) and Eureka...

This paper describes the results of a sea level measurement test conducted off La Jolla, California, in November of 1991. The purpose of this test was to determine accurate sea...

The severity of the double Intertropical Convergence Zone (DI) problem in climate models can be measured by a tropical precipitation asymmetry index (PAI), indicating whether...

This article does not have an abstract or article summary.

The eddy-covariance method is the primary way of measuring turbulent fluxes directly. Many investigators have found that these flux measurements often do not satisfy a...

A new monthly sea surface salinity (SSS) product calculated from profile data within the World Ocean Database (WOD) is compared and contrasted with Aquarius SSS, both standard...

Climate indices based on sea surface temperature (SST) can synthesize information related to physical processes that describe change and variability in continental precipitation...

General circulation models display a wide range of future predicted changes in the Northern Hemisphere winter stratospheric polar vortex. The downward influence of this...

A high-resolution global magnetohydrodynamic simulation is conducted with the Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry (LFM) model for idealized solar wind conditions. Within the simulation results...

Estimates of radiative feedbacks obtained by regressing fluctuations in top-of-atmosphere (TOA) energy imbalance and surface temperature depend critically on the sampling...

Very short-lived brominated substances (VSLBr) are an important source of stratospheric bromine, an effective ozone destruction catalyst. However, the accurate estimation of the...

The long-term accurate specification of the Earth's ionospheric states is crucial to scientific research and applications in the space weather community. In the current work, a...

Observed and modeled patterns of lower stratospheric seasonal trends in Antarctic ozone and temperature in the late 20th (1979-2000) and the early 21st (2000-2014) centuries are...

Water is the single most important element of life. Rainfall plays an important role in the spatial and temporal distribution of this precious natural resource, and it has a...

The last solar minimum period was anomalously extended and low in EUV irradiance compared with previous solar minima. It can readily be expected that the thermosphere and the...
