NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission only retrieved similar to 2.5 months of 3 km near surface soil moisture (NSSM) before its radar transmitter malfunctioned....

Ozone in the troposphere affects humans and ecosystems as a pollutant and as a greenhouse gas. Observing, understanding and modelling this dual role, as well as monitoring...

Over the past two decades, the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS) has funded nearly 200 atmospheric science–related field...

When driving microscale large-eddy simulations with mesoscale model solutions, turbulence will take space to develop, known as fetch, on the microscale domain. To reduce fetch,...

Unintended consequences from decisions made in one part of a social-ecological system in response to climate hazards can magnify vulnerabilities for others in the same system....

We present results from an analytical model for magnetic buoyancy and rotational instabilities in full spherical shell stellar tachoclines that include rotation, differential...

EZPLOT is built as a software interface between the user and NCAR graphics. While EZPLOT uses the NCAR graphics package, the interface eliminates the need to compile programs to...

This paper provides a comprehensive derivation of the total energy equations for the atmospheric components of Earth System Models (ESMs). The assumptions and approximations...

Saltation, the wind-driven hopping motion of sand grains, forms dunes and ripples, and ejects fine dust particles into the atmosphere on Mars. Although the wind speed at which...

Marine cloud brightening (MCB) is one of several proposed solar radiation management (SRM) geoengineering schemes designed to ameliorate some of the undesirable effects of...

Fires emit a substantial amount of non-methane organic gases (NMOGs), the atmospheric oxidation of which can contribute to ozone and secondary particulate matter formation....

A U.S.-China Coupled Model Intercomparison Workshop: the first bilateral workshop to coordinate diagnoses of global climate models and resolution of key biases with 60 attendees...

The spatiotemporal distribution of Land Surface Temperature (LST) is linked to the partitioning of the coupled surface water and energy budgets. In watersheds with a strong...

While urbanites are vulnerable to a suite of risks that climate change might aggravate (e.g., mortality from extreme temperatures and property damages from floods), urban...

Regional patterns of tropical Indo-Pacific climate change are investigated over the last six decades based on a synthesis of in situ observations and ocean model simulations,...

We present a suite of new climate model experiment designs for the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP). This set of experiments, named GeoMIP6 (to be...

The purpose of the research reported in this paper is to develop a variational data analysis system that can be used to assimilate data from one or more Doppler radars. In the...

We revisit the challenges and prospects for ocean circulation models following Griffies et al. (2010). Over the past decade, ocean circulation models evolved through improved...

Wildfires have been increasing in frequency in the western United States (US) with the 2017 and 2018 fire seasons experiencing some of the worst wildfires in terms of...

This study investigates processes leading to regional cooling in global warming experiments conducted with the NCAR fully coupled Community Climate System Model (CCSM3). While...
