One of the fundamental difficulties that arise when using GPS Radio Occultation (RO) data in exploiting the stratosphere is that the air becomes rarefied with increasing height...

Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) is the main tropospheric reservoir of NOx (NO þ NO2). Its lifetime can reach several months in the upper cold troposphere. This enables the long-range...

We present results from three multidecadal sensitivity experiments with time-varying solar cycle and quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) forcings using National Center for...

Four years (2002-2005) of continuous accelerometer measurements taken onboard the CHAMP satellite (orbit altitude ~400 km) offer a unique opportunity to investigate the...

This document presents a comprehensive description of the Spectral Vegetation Radiometer (SVR) used on NCAR aircraft to derive information about the vegetation cover....

This article does not have an abstract or article summary.

There is substantial empirical and climatological evidence that precipitation extremes have become more extreme during the twentieth century, and that this trend is likely to...

Water managers need non-stationary tools to better characterize precipitation extremes. Statistical approaches based on extreme value theory (EVT) are increasingly being used,...

We show that inter-model variation due to under-constraint by observations impacts the ability to predict material transport in the lower thermosphere. Lagrangian coherent...

CAM3 (Community Atmosphere Model version 3) simulation bias is diagnosed using the vorticity equation. The study compares CAM3 output with ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-...

The Community Climate System Model (CCSM) has been created to represent the principal components of the climate system and their interactions. Development and applications of...

Four model-error schemes for probabilistic forecasts over the contiguous United States with the WRF-ARW mesoscale ensemble system are evaluated in regard to performance....

Observations of CO₂ concentration at a mountaintop in the Colorado Rockies in summer show a large diurnal variability with minimum CO₂ concentrations found between 10:00 and...

Mg and Mg+ concentration fields in the upper mesosphere/lower thermosphere (UMLT) region are retrieved from SCIAMACHY/Envisat limb measurements of Mg and Mg+ dayglow emissions...

Between 9th and 16th September 2013, northeast Colorado received some of its most extreme rainfall on record. The event affected 6 major rivers and their tributaries and 14...

We explore new opportunities for solar physics that could be realized by future missions providing sustained observations from vantage points away from the Sun-Earth line. These...

Statistical downscaling is generally successful and used widely to refine projections of future climate, though in some circumstances it can lead to highly erroneous results.

To extend the nonhydrostatic global Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) for deep-atmosphere (geospace) applications, we have modified the model equations and numerics to...

The Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) satellite instrument has been measuring global tropospheric carbon monoxide (CO) since March 2000, providing the...

We present a three-dimensional (3D) kinematic solar dynamo model in which poloidal field is generated by the emergence and dispersal of tilted sunspot pairs (more generally...
