We carry out a magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of convective dynamo in the rotating solar convective envelope driven by the solar radiative diffusive heat flux. The...

The evolution of the daytime planetary boundary layer (PBL) and its association with warm-season precipitation is strongly impacted by land-atmosphere heat and moisture exchange...

Diurnal variations in sea surface salinity (SSS) have been observed at a few selected locations with adequate in situ instrumentation. Such variations result primarily from...

The Arctic Ocean freshwater budgets in climate model integrations of the twentieth and twenty-first century are examined. An ensemble of six members of the Community Climate...

Fire is a global phenomenon and the primary form of terrestrial ecosystem disturbance on a global scale. It is tightly coupled with climate, ecosystems, carbon and water cycles,...

Secondary organic aerosols (SOA) are formed from oxidation of hundreds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from anthropogenic and natural sources. Accurate predictions...

A theoretical approach suggests that the surface heterogeneity on a scale of tens of kilometres can generate mesoscale motions that are not in a quasi-stationary state. The...

Summer and winter daily heavy precipitation events (events above the 97.5th percentile) are analyzed in regional climate simulations with 36-, 12-,and 4-km horizontal grid...

We have found that consideration of neutral helium as a major species leads to a more complete physics-based modeling description of the Earth's upper thermosphere. An augmented...

The introduction of gases and particulate contaminants in the atmosphere due to natural or human activities causes air pollution. The concentration and toxicity of these...

Horizontally diffusive computational damping terms are frequently employed in 3D atmospheric simulation models to enhance stability and to suppress small-scale noise. In...

Accurate precipitation estimates are critical to simulating seasonal snowpack evolution. We conduct and evaluate high-resolution (4-km) snowpack simulations over the western...

The neutral winds in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere (MLT) region have been observed at King Sejong Station, Antarctica using a meteor radar (MR) and a Fabry-Perot...

The Convective Transport of Active Species in the Tropics (CONTRAST) experiment was conducted from Guam (13.5°N, 144.8°E) during January–February 2014. Using the NSF/NCAR...

This study presents the first modeling estimates of the potential effect of gas-and particle-phase organic photolysis reactions on the formation and lifetime of secondary...

Mountains become warmer with elevation in response to greenhouse gas warming, an effect known as elevation-dependent warming. The Eocene is considered a replica of the future...

This paper discusses the sparse space-time superparameterization (SSTSP) algorithm and evaluates its ability to represent interactions between moist convection and the large-...

The availability of formaldehyde (HCHO) (a proxy for volatile organic compound reactivity) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) (a proxy for nitrogen oxides) tropospheric columns from...

The air-land-sea interaction in the vicinity of Monterey Bay, California, is simulated and investigated using a new Integrated Regional Model System (I-RMS). This new model...

A new collaborative organization for sea-ice model development, the CICE Consortium, has devised quality control procedures to maintain the integrity of its numerical codes'...
