Aerosols have important effects on the Earth's radiative balance and are normally included in simulations of present day climate. For simulations of present day or recent past...

The biogeophysical effects of severe forestation are quantified using a new ensemble of regional climate simulations over North America and Europe. Following the protocol...

A systematic study of the intrinsic predictability of tropical cyclone (TC) intensity is conducted using a set of cloud-resolving model ensembles of Hurricane Earl (2010). The...

The rising atmospheric CO2 concentration leads to a CO2 fertilization effect on plants-that is, increased photosynthetic uptake of CO2 by leaves and enhanced water-use...

Progress in understanding the formation of ice in lower-tropospheric clouds is slowed by the difficulties in characterizing the many complex interactions that lead to ice...

Regional sea surface temperature (SST) mode variabilities, especially the La Nina-like Pacific Ocean temperature pattern known as the negative phase of the interdecadal Pacific...

Practical implementations of chemical OSSEs (Observing System Simulation Experiments) usually rely on approximations of the pseudo-observations by means of a predefined...

Southeast Asia, in particular Indonesia, has periodically struggled with intense fire events. These events convert substantial amounts of carbon stored as peat to atmospheric...

Radiosonde relative humidity (RH) measurements are known to be unreliable at cold temperatures. This study characterizes radiosonde RH measurements from Vaisala RS80-A thin-film...

Studies have recently reported statistically significant relationships between observed year-to-year spring Antarctic ozone variability and the Southern Hemisphere annular mode...

Oceanic bubbles play an important role in the air-sea exchange of weakly soluble gases at moderate to high wind speeds. A Lagrangian bubble model embedded in a large eddy...

In the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project Phase 2 (PlioMIP2), coupled climate models have been used to simulate an interglacial climate during the mid-Piacenzian warm period...

The climate system and its spatio-temporal changes are strongly affected by modes of long-term internal variability, like the Pacific decadal variability (PDV) and the Atlantic...

This report contains data obtained during the synoptic observing project of the High Altitude Observatory's Coronal Dynamics Program that began on 5 August 1980 from the Mark-...

The middle thermosphere from ~150 to 250 km is characterized by rapid increase in temperature with altitude and rapid ionization. The entire thermosphere is believed to be home...

The Pampas of Argentina have shown some of the most significant increasing trends in precipitation during the 20th century. The rainfall increase has partly contributed to a...

Gas-phase volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were measured at three vertical levels between 0.6 m and 5.4 m in the Arctic boundary layer in Barrow, Alaska, for the Ocean-...

Temperature trends in the middle and upper stratosphere are evaluated using measurements from the Stratospheric Sounding Unit (SSU), combined with data from the Aura Microwave...

Results from two perturbation experiments using the Community Climate System Model version 4 where the Southern Hemisphere zonal wind stress is increased are described. It is...

As a response to water shortages in Southeast Queensland brought about by reduced rainfall and increasing population, the Queensland government decided to explore the potential...
