Plants are expected to face increasing water stress under future climate change. Most land surface models, including Noah-MP, employ an idealized "big-leaf" concept to regulate...

Radial wind is routinely measured by Doppler method, whereas winds transverse to the radar beam are measured using an interferometric technique in which three or more spaced...

The present study focuses on a modeling of the seasonal and diurnal effects on the dynamics of the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere system under different solar illumination...

Perturbations caused by geophysical and anthropogenic events on the ground have been observed to propagate upward and impact the upper atmosphere. Gravity waves with wavelengths...

The ongoing loss of Arctic sea-ice cover has implications for the wider climate system. The detection and importance of the atmospheric impacts of sea-ice loss depends, in part,...

The derivation of the meridional momentum flux arising from a multiscale horizontal velocity field in the intraseasonal, planetary, equatorial synoptic-scale dynamics (IPESD)...

This report constitutes documentation for Version 3.0 of the GENLN2 suite of programs as of November 1991.This report is intended to be a working document for those using...

A parameterization for urban surfaces has been incorporated into the Community Land Model as part of the Community Climate System Model. The parameterization allows global...

Statistical postprocessing techniques have become essential tools for downscaling large-scale information to the point scale, and also for providing a better probabilistic...

Vertical motions over the complex terrain of Idaho's Payette River basin were observed by the Wyoming Cloud Radar (WCR) during 23 flights of the Wyoming King Air during the...

Rossby waves are found at several levels in the Sun, most recently in its supergranule layer. We show that Rossby waves in the supergranule layer can be excited by an inverse...

This study quantifies how far snow can fall into the melting layer (ML) before all snow has melted by examining a combination of in situ observations from aircraft measurements...

Ice nucleating particles (INPs) are a rare subset of particles that can have an outsized impact relative to their prevalence. To simulate INP variability, models require...

Climate feedbacks vary strongly among climate models and continue to represent a major source of uncertainty in our understanding of the response of climate to anthropogenic...

The responsible mechanism for the formation of the enhanced-V infrared cloud-top feature observed above tropopause-penetrating thunderstorms is not well understood. A new method...

Meningitis remains a major health burden throughout Sahelian Africa, especially in heavily populated northwest Nigeria with an annual incidence rate ranging from 18 to 200 per...

The tree-ring-based North American Drought Atlas (NADA), Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas (MADA), and Old World Drought Atlas (OWDA) collectively yield a near-hemispheric gridded...

The assimilation of hyperspectral infrared sounders (HIS) observations aboard Earth-observing satellites has become vital to numerical weather prediction, yet this assimilation...

Simulations of squall lines, using nonhydrostatic convection-resolving models, have been limited to two dimensions or three dimensions with the assumption of along-line...

During the warm season in the central United States there often exists a corridor of precipitation where a succession of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) follow similar paths...
