This document reports an instrumental development which solved certain problems in field research for NCAR staff scientists concerning the detection of electrification in...

There is observational and modeling evidence that low-frequency variability in the North Atlantic has significant implications for the global climate, particularly for the...

Coupled climate models and recent observational evidence suggest that Arctic sea ice may undergo abrupt periods of loss during the next fifty years. Here, we evaluate how rapid...

New estimates of the poleward energy transport based on atmospheric reanalyses from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction-National Center for Atmospheric Research...

The effective model resolution of three numerical weather prediction (NWP) models is determined from analyses of spatial structure functions and spatial spectra. In this paper,...

Hurricane-induced compound flooding is a combined result of multiple processes, including overland runoff, precipitation, and storm surge. This study presents a dynamical...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play an important role in modulating the atmosphere's oxidizing capacity and affect tropospheric ozone, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and...

The F₃ layer is a common feature within ±10° of the magnetic equatorial ionosphere in the daytime. According to Balan et al. (1998) the F₃ layer occurs mainly during the...

Atmospheric aerosols affect both human health and climate. PMX is the mass concentration of aerosol particles that have aerodynamic diameters less than X μm, PM10 was initially...

Recent studies on the relationship between thermoelectric cooling and water resources have been made at coarse geographic resolution and do not adequately evaluate the localized...

This study examines Northern Hemisphere winter (DJFM) atmospheric responses to opposite strong phases of interdecadal (low frequency, LF) Pacific sea surface temperature (SST)...

A panel of experts representing various sectors and roles in winter orographic cloud-seeding research and operations discussed its vision for the future of the field.

This paper provides an overview of the methodology of and describes preliminary results from an experiment called GPS/MET (Global Positioning System/Meteorology), in which...

We aim to investigate the nature and occurrence characteristics of grand solar minimum and maximum periods, which are observed in the solar proxy records such as Be-10 and C-14,...

The use of a mesoscale model-based four-dimensional data assimilation (FDDA) system for generating mesoscale climatographies is demonstrated. This dynamical downscaling method...

Lateral mixing parameters in buoyancy-driven deep convection schemes are among the most sensitive and important unknowns in atmosphere models. Unfortunately, there is not a true...

Since June 2017, the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III instrument on the International Space Station (SAGE III/ISS) has been providing vertical profiles of upper...

A new paradigm in upper atmospheric and ionospheric physics has begun to emerge, starting with discoveries from observations taken with the Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora...

Understanding the behavior of western boundary current systems is crucial for predictions of biogeochemical cycles, fisheries, and basin-scale climate modes over the midlatitude...

Many chemical processes depend non-linearly on temperature. Gravity-wave-induced temperature perturbations have been shown to affect atmospheric chemistry, but accounting for...
