Benchmarking climate model simulations against observations of the climate is core to the process of building realistic climate models and developing accurate future...

Although atmospheric tides driven by solar heating are readily detectable at the earth's surface as variations in air pressure, their simulations in current coupled global...

Data scarcity has traditionally precluded the application of advanced hydrologic techniques in developing countries. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a flood...

This study identifies the fast (i.e., similar to days-weeks) transport pathways that connect the Northern Hemisphere surface to the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere...

We aim to reconcile the recently published, apparently contrasting results regarding the relative importance of tropical upwelling versus horizontal transport for the...

A project established at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) in New Zealand is aimed at developing a prototype of a real-time landslide forecasting...

Precipitation can induce a surface sensible heat flux since the raindrops are generally cooler than the surface. This precipitation-induced sensible heat flux (QP) is typically...

We report multisatellite observations of the oscillations in the subauroral polarization stream (SAPS) during a severe magnetic storm on 20 November 2003. The SAPS oscillations...

Context. The Mutual Impedance Probe (RPC-MIP) carried by the Rosetta spacecraft monitored both the plasma density and the electric field in the close environment of comet...

Snow is an important component of the climate system and a critical storage component in the hydrologic cycle. However, in situ observations of snow distribution are sparse, and...

Ion convection pattern derived from the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network potential pattern (SDP) data is developed for the National Center for Atmospheric Research Thermosphere...

The North American Monsoon occurs July-September in the central Rocky Mountains bringing significant rainfall to Colorado River headwater basins. This rain may buffer streamflow...

Based on personal experience and input from colleagues, the natural history of a field program is discussed, from conception through data analysis and synthesis of results. For...

Improving the forecasting and communication of weather hazards such as urban floods and extreme winds has been recognized by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) as a...

Photosynthesis by terrestrial plants represents the majority of CO2 uptake on Earth, yet it is difficult to measure directly from space. Estimation of gross primary production...

The ionospheric total electron content (TEC) derived from dense ground-based Global Navigation Satellite System receivers over the continental United States and those from...

Observations of peroxynitric acid (HO₂ NO₂ ) obtained simultaneously with those of NO and NO₂ provide a sensitive measure of the ozone photochemical production rate. We...

It is well established that the shallow branch of the Brewer-Dobson circulation accelerates in a warming climate due to enhanced wave drag in the subtropical lower stratosphere....

This paper outlines the contributions of social science to the study of interactions between urbanization patterns and processes and the carbon cycle, and identifies gaps in...

The Arctic is warming two to four times faster than the global average. Debate continues on the relative roles of local factors, such as sea ice reductions, versus remote...
