Using a combination of laser ranging and GPS data acquired between 1969 and 1997 we derive a separation velocity for the Somali and Nubian plates in Ethiopia (4.5+/-1 mm/yr at...

A parameterization for the restratification by finite-amplitude, submesoscale, mixed layer eddies, formulated as an overturning streamfunction, has been recently proposed to...

Climate models often underestimate the magnitude of extreme precipitation. We compare the performance of a high-resolution (∼0.25°) time-slice atmospheric simulation...

The Community Atmosphere Model, version 4 (CAM4), was released as part of the Community Climate System Model, version 4 (CCSM4). The finite volume (FV) dynamical core is now the...

A monthly dataset of Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) from 1870 to 2002 is derived using historical precipitation and temperature data for global land areas on a 2.5° grid....

We assess to what extent seven state-of-the-art dynamical prediction systems can retrospectively predict winter sea surface temperature (SST) in the subpolar North Atlantic and...

Science and technology always have been interdependent, but never more so than with today's highly instrumented data collection practices. We report on a long-term study of...

To perform realistic high-resolution air quality modeling in a polluted urban area, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is used with an embedded large-eddy...

Surface gravity wave breaking occurs along coastlines in complex spatial and temporal patterns that significantly impact erosion, scalar transport, and flooding. Numerical...

The magnitude of chemical loss of polar ozone induced by anthropogenic halogens depends on the extent of chlorine activation, which is controlled by polar stratospheric clouds...

Convective permitting simulations are increasingly pursued for providing physically more credible climate projections of rainfall. Their value is likely to be greater for...

Because water isotope ratios respond to phase changes during evaporation (E) and precipitation (P), they are candidate fingerprints of changing atmospheric hydrology. Moreover,...

We discuss the design and performance of an airborne (underwing) in-line digital holographic imaging system developed for characterizing atmospheric cloud water droplets and ice...

Heavy precipitation events and their associated flooding can have major impacts on communities and stakeholders. There is a lack of knowledge, however, about how stakeholders...

Understanding the dynamical behavior of similar to 1eV to 50keV ions and identifying the energies at which the morphologies transit are important in that they involve the...

To estimate the economic effects of weather variability in the United States, we define and measure weather sensitivity as the variability in economic output attributable to...

The Taiwan mesoscale ensemble prediction system (EPS) based on the Weather Research and Forecast model (WRF), also called WEPS, is designed to provide reliable ensemble...

Since the 1970s, land cover in central Argentina has shifted away from perennial crops and grasses toward annual crops, largely soy. In this study, we use observations and...

A consistent weakening and poleward expansion of the Hadley circulation is diagnosed in the climate change simulations of the IPCC AR4 project. Associated with this widening is...
