A comprehensive quality assessment of the ozone products from 18 limb-viewing satellite instruments is provided by means of a detailed intercomparison. The ozone climatologies...

The brightness temperature measurements from the Airborne Imaging Microwave Radiometer ( AIMR) microwave radiometer 37 GHz and 90 GHz channels are used to determine the column...

Unabated 21st-century climate change will accelerate Arctic-Subarctic permafrost thaw which can intensify microbial degradation of carbon-rich soils, methane emissions, and...

Diffusion that is implicit in the odd-ordered advection schemes in early versions of the Advanced Research core of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is sometimes...

The Antarctic ozone hole demonstrates large-scale, man-made affects on our atmosphere. Surface observations now show that human produced ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) are...

Since its initial release in 2000, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model has become one of the world's most widely used numerical weather prediction models. Designed...

Traditional pixel-versus-pixel forecast evaluation scores such as the critical success index (CSI) provide a simple way to compare the performances of different forecasts;...

Climate change will affect the population dynamics of many species, yet the consequences for the long-term persistence of populations are poorly understood. A major reason for...

This study considers the impact of electron precipitation from Earth's radiation belts on atmospheric composition using observations from the NASA Van Allen Probes and NSF...

Relationships between rainfall and river discharge are important for governing flood characteristics and predicting flood impacts. Previous studies have examined these...

A U.S.-China Coupled Model Intercomparison Workshop: the first bilateral workshop to coordinate diagnoses of global climate models and resolution of key biases with 60 attendees...

Ice clouds influence the climate system by changing the radiation budget and large-scale circulation. Therefore, climate models need to have an accurate representation of ice...

The mid-Piacenzian warm period (MPWP, similar to 3.264-3.025 Ma) has gained widespread interest due to its partial analogy with future climate. However, quantitative data-model...

Foodborne diseases have large economic and societal impacts worldwide. To evaluate how the risks of foodborne diseases might change in response to climate change, credible and...

Statistical analysis of extreme values is applied to wind data from National Centers for Environmental Prediction and National Center for Atmospheric Research reanalysis grid...

Aridity, defined as the ratio of precipitation (P) to potential evapotranspiration (PET) over land, is critical to natural ecosystems and agricultural production. Global climate...

TIMED/Global Ultraviolet Imager (GUVI) limb measurements of far-ultraviolet airglow emission have been used to investigate middle-low latitude thermospheric composition and...

Numerous studies and observational analyses point to a connection between the annual cycle and tropical Atlantic variability, specifically the influence of the seasons. Although...

In order for numerical weather prediction (NWP) models to correctly predict solar irradiance reaching the earth's surface for more accurate solar power forecasting, it is...

Dr. Akira Kasahara reflects on his career of more than 65 years in the field of meteorology, specifically the fields of numerical weather prediction and computational modeling...
