A climatology of cold air outbreaks (CAOs) over North America is presented on the basis of a 50 year simulation of the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM). This...

Hurricane Rita made landfall near the Texas-Louisiana border in September 2005, causing major damage and disruption. As Rita approached the Gulf Coast, uncertainties in the...

The biosphere emits volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) which, after oxidation in the atmosphere, can partition on the existing aerosol population or even form new particles. The...

This study reports the longitudinal dependence of the field-aligned Poynting flux in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) based on 11 years' (1999-2009) observations at similar to 800...

The integrated Population-Economy-Technology-Science (iPETS) model is a global integrated assessment model developed and used by NCAR's Integrated Assessment Modeling (IAM)...

The ability to solve the global shallow-water equations with a conforming, variable-resolution mesh is evaluated using standard shallow-water test cases. While our long-term...

End users studying impacts and risks caused by human-induced climate change are often presented with large multi-model ensembles of climate projections whose composition and...

The National Centre for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Climate Forecast System (CFS) is being used for operational monsoon prediction over the Indian region. Recent studies...

This article does not have an abstract or article summary.

A vector-river network explicitly uses realistic geometries of river reaches and catchments for spatial discretization in a river model. This enables improving the accuracy of...

The rate of sea level rise (SLR) along the Southeast Coast of the U.S. increased significantly after 2010. While anthropogenic radiative forcing causes an acceleration of global...

Ozone mass deficit is a commonly used index to quantify Antarctic ozone depletion. However, as currently defined, this measure is not robust with respect to reflecting chemical...

We analyze the radiative forcing and radiative response at Earth's surface, where perturbations in the radiation budget regulate the atmospheric hydrological cycle. By applying...

Climate change from increased greenhouse gases arises from a global energy imbalance at the top of the atmosphere (TOA). TOA measurements of radiation from space can track...

Mesoscale models are considered to be the state of the art in modeling mountain-wave flows. Herein, the authors investigate the role and accuracy of planetary boundary layer...

Gridded precipitation and temperature products are inherently uncertain because of myriad factors, including interpolation from a sparse observation network, measurement...

Aircraft measurements, including non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs), long-lived halocarbons, carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone (O3) collected on board the NASA DC-8 during the Deep...

This report is a manual on the MM5 Adjoint Modeling System.

We present the main results from the second model intercomparison within the GEWEX (Global Energy and Water cycle EXperiment) Atmospheric Boundary Layer Study (GABLS). The...

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emitted from the natural ecosystem are highly reactive and can thus impact air quality and aerosol radiative forcing. BVOC emission...
