Baroclinic seamount-trapped waves are thought to influence their surrounding ecosystem; however, trapped waves are not well-studied in near-equatorial settings, where...

This paper presents a hybrid approach to model warm-rain processes, merging the diverse schemes of bulk and detailed (bin) microphysics. In the bulk scheme, the key assumption...

Wind plant blockage reduces wind velocity upstream of wind plants, reducing the power generated by turbines adjacent to the inflow, and potentially throughout the plant as well....

A semi-implicit edge-based unstructured-mesh model is developed that integrates nonhydrostatic soundproof equations, inclusive of anelastic and pseudo-incompressible systems of...

The six-satellite Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate (COSMIC) mission makes routine ionospheric measurements over the entire globe using...

To assess deep convective parameterizations in a variety of GCMs and examine the fast-time-scale convective transition, a set of statistics characterizing the pickup of...

The colonization of land by plants and their interaction with biogeochemical and atmospheric processes transformed continental climate and hydrology. Stomata, which evolved to...

To explore the possible causes of the observed asymmetric helicity flux in emerging active regions between the leading and following polarities reported in a recent study by...

A simulation of the present-day climate by the Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3) that uses a Finite Volume (FV) numerical method for solving the equations...

We assess similarities and differences between model effects for the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) climate models using varying classes of...

In this study, observations and simulations are used to investigate the mechanisms behind the different surface responses over the North Pacific and North Atlantic basins in...

Isotopic ozone lines of (OOO)-O-16-O-16-O-17 and (OOO)-O-16-O-17-O-16 in the 5 mum region are identified for the first time in balloon-borne high-resolution (0.003 cm(-1)) solar...

Electrified clouds are known to play a major role in the Global Electric Circuit. These clouds produce upward currents which maintain the potential difference between Earth's...

Current human-induced climate change arises primarily from the heating of the planet mainly from changes in atmospheric composition, and temperature change is one manifestation....

We have used measurements of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites to study variations of electron temperature in the subauroral ionosphere during the...

Enhanced energy input from the magnetosphere to the upper atmosphere during geomagnetic storms has a profound effect on thermospheric density and consequently near-Earth...

Due to their importance for the radiation budget, liquid-containing clouds are a key component of the Arctic climate system. Depending on season, they can cool or warm the near-...

Recent numerical modeling studies indicate the importance of radiation in the transformation from a tropical disturbance to a tropical depression, a process known as tropical...

The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) is an international network of high frequency coherent scatter radars that are used for monitoring the electrodynamics of the...

We study the momentum deposition in the thermosphere from the dissipation of small amplitude gravity waves (GWs) within a wave packet using a fully nonlinear two-dimensional...
