The Eastern Pacific Warm Pool (EPWP) modulates global climate through its connection with tropical Pacific circulation, but sparse paleoceanographic data from this region limits...

This paper describes a framework for identifying dominant atmospheric drivers of ocean variability. The method combines statistics of atmosphere-ocean fluxes with physics from...

Safety compliance issues for operational studies of the atmosphere with balloons require quantifying risks associated with descent and developing strategies to reduce the...

In many places, predictions of regional climate variability associated with the El El Niño-Southern Oscillation phenomenon offer the potential to improve farmers' decision...

Irrigation is a widely used water management practice that is often poorly parameterized in land surface and climate models. Previous studies have addressed this issue via use...

In this study, we quantify the contribution of individual large-scale waves to ionospheric electrodynamics and examine the dependence of the ionospheric perturbations on solar...

Six different configurations, a mixture of grids and atmospheric dynamical cores available in the Community Earth System Model, version 2.2 (CESM2.2), are evaluated for their...

The Overflow Parameterization (OFP) for the ocean component of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) is presented. The ocean component is based on the Parallel Ocean Program...

It is generally believed that a strong updraft in the mixed-phase region of thunderstorms is required to produce lightning. This is the region where the noninductive charging...

Hydrology/water management and electricity generation projections have been modeled separately, but there has been little effort in intentionally and explicitly linking the two...

The Investigation of Microphysics and Precipitation for Atlantic Coast-Threatening Snowstorms (IMPACTS) is a NASA-sponsored field campaign to study wintertime snowstorms...

Solar spectral fluxes (or irradiance) measured by the SOlar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) show different variability at ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths compared to other...

The atmospheric semidiurnal lunar tide is added to the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) through inclusion of an additional forcing mechanism. The simulated...

Interannual variations in CO2 exchange across Amazonia, as deduced from atmospheric inversions, correlate with El Nino occurrence. They are thought to result from changes in net...

Insect outbreaks are major ecosystem disturbances, affecting a similar area as forest fires annually across North America. Tree mortality caused by bark beetle outbreaks alters...

A multifluid version of the Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry global simulation model has been used to investigate the effects of outflowing ionospheric O⁺ on the magnetosphere-ionosphere...

Nitrogen oxides (NOx) play a central role in catalyzing tropospheric ozone formation. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) has recently reemerged as a key target for air pollution control...

The Olympic Mountains Experiment (OLYMPEX) took place during the 2015/16 fall-winter season in the vicinity of the mountainous Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. The goals...

Unlike deterministic forecasts, probabilistic predictions provide estimates of uncertainty, which is an additional value for decision-making. Previous studies have proposed the...

We present results from continued investigations into the fidelity of covariance-based climate field reconstruction (CFR) approaches used in proxy-based climate reconstruction....
