This report explains questions and builds upon previous findings on the comparison of quasi-geostrophic and primitive equation models for stratospheric sudden warming simulations.

Aerosol optical depths (AODs) used for the Edition 4.1 Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Synoptic 1 degrees (SYN1deg) product are evaluated. AODs are derived...

Estimates of the anthropogenic effective radiative forcing (ERF) trend have increased by 50% since 2000 (from +0.4 W m(-2) decade(-1) in 2000-09 to +0.6 W m(-2) decade(-1) in...

Motivated by low-altitude cusp observations of small-scale (similar to 1 km) field-aligned currents (SSFACs) interpreted as ionospheric Alfven resonator modes, we have...

Accurately modeled biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions are an essential input to atmospheric chemistry simulations of ozone and particle formation. BVOC emission...

The role of aqueous multiphase chemistry in the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) remains difficult to quantify. We investigate it here by testing the rapid formation...

We compare the turbulence statistics of the canopy/roughness sublayer (RSL) and the inertial sublayer (ISL) above. In the RSL the turbulence is more coherent and more efficient...

Future climate change projections for phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) are presented for the Community Earth System Model version 1 that includes the...

In this study, the structure and evolution of a coastal barrier jet (CBJ) along the east coast of Taiwan is documented using operational Doppler radars. The formation of the CBJ...

Using three datasets archived at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), we describe the creation of a 'data usage index' for curation-specific impact assessments....

A new two-dimensional advection test on the surface of the sphere is proposed. The test combines a solid-body rotation and a deformational flow field to form moving vortices...

Geological evidence indicates that a supernova within 100 parsecs of Earth occurs around once per million years. Such nearby supernovas can produce an intense gamma-ray burst...

Decadal prediction is a relatively new branch of climate science that bridges the gap between seasonal climate forecasts and multidecadal-to-century projections of climate...

The Amazon Basin provides an excellent environment for studying the sources, transformations, and properties of natural aerosol particles and the resulting links between...

Laboratory observations of the leeside hydraulic jump indicate it consists of a statistically stationary turbulent motion in an overturning wave. From the point of view of the...

Data from flights by the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology's North American T-28 storm-penetrating aircraft during nine different research projects conducted between...

We have analyzed data from a multi-site campaign to observe oscillations in the F5 star Procyon. The data consist of high-precision velocities that we obtained over more than...

A new framework is proposed for the bulk parameterization of rain microphysics: the Bayesian Observationally Constrained Statistical-Physical Scheme (BOSS). It is designed to...

This report serves as a common reference manual for General Circulation Model (GCM) personnel and outside interested parties. It specifically addresses development of, details...

The High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (HIRDLS) cloud detection and cloud top determination algorithm is described and applied to 2005-2007 HIRDLS radiance profiles....
