Sensitivities of microscale weather modeling to atmospheric conditions and urban layout are investigated utilizing a combination of automated surface observing systems (ASOS)...

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission observed a unique structure of thermospheric column density ratio...

In the interest of quantitatively assessing the capabilities of coronal MHD models, we have developed a metric that compares the structures of the white light corona observed...

A prominent pattern of variability of the Northern Hemisphere wintertime tropospheric planetary waves, referred to here as the Wave3 pattern, is identified from the NCEP-NCAR...

Accurate forecasting of precipitation phase and intensity was critical information for many of the Olympic venue managers during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter...

Light-moderate precipitation is projected to decrease whereas heavy precipitation may increase under greenhouse gas (GHG)-induced global warming, while atmospheric convective...

This paper reports the metrics-based results of the Dst index part of the 2008-2009 GEM Metrics Challenge. The 2008-2009 GEM Metrics Challenge asked modelers to submit results...

This technical note describes the physical parameterizations and numerical implementation of a Community Land Model Urban (CLMU) parameterization as coupled to version 4 of the...

Many methods using ensemble integrations of prediction models as integral parts of data assimilation have appeared in the atmospheric and oceanic literature. In general, these...

The long-term characteristics of four hydrometeor species (cloud water, cloud ice, rain, and snow) in precip-itating clouds over eastern China (divided into South China,...

To assess current remote-sensing capabilities for wind energy applications, a remote-sensing system evaluation study, called XPIA (eXperimental Planetary boundary layer...

Grass‐dominated ecosystems cover wide areas of the land surface yet have received far less attention from the Earth System Model (ESM) community. This limits model projections...

The Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Cloud System Study (GCSS) was organized to promote the development of improved parameterizations of cloud systems for use in...

Initial demonstrations of an ionosphere/polar wind model including a phenomenological treatment of transverse heating by wave particle interactions (WPIs) are presented. Tests...

The identification of vortices in a fluid flow is a dynamically interesting problem that has practical applications in oceanography due to the outsized role eddies play in water...

Scenarios of global greenhouse gas emissions have played a key role in climate change analysis for over twenty years. Currently, several research communities are organizing to...

We perform a multi-sensor analysis of water storage and surface height variations of the Caspian Sea, from mid-2002 through 2006. Data from three satellite missions (GRACE,...

Kinetic energy spectra derived from observations in the free atmosphere possess a wavenumber dependence of k^-3 for large scales, characteristic of 2D turbulence, and transition...

Explicit consideration of microbial physiology in soil biogeochemical models that represent coupled carbon-nitrogen dynamics presents opportunities to deepen understanding of...

The Community Earth System Model Ensemble Consistency Test (CESM-ECT) suite was developed as an alternative to requiring bitwise identical output for quality assurance. This...
