The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) disaster resulted in large-scale oil contamination of the northern Gulf of Mexico. As part of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment designed to...

It is commonly believed that solar eclipses have a great impact on the ionosphere-thermosphere (I-T) system within the eclipse shadow, but little attention has been paid to the...

While a quantitative climate theory of tropical cyclone formation remains elusive, considerable progress has been made recently in our ability to simulate tropical cyclone...

Background: Women's status and empowerment influence health, nutrition, and socioeconomic status of women and their children. Despite its benefits, however, research on women's...

In support of future satellite missions that aim to address the current shortcomings in measuring air quality from space, NASA's Deriving Information on Surface Conditions from...

The importance of formally citing scientific research data has been recognized for decades but is only recently gaining momentum. Several federal government agencies urge data...

The Tibetan Plateau (TP) region experiences strong land-atmosphere interactions, and as an elevated heating source, significantly influences the formation of the Asian monsoon....

Historic observations of dissolved oxygen (O-2) in the ocean are analyzed to quantify multidecadal trends and variability from 1958 to 2015. Additional quality control is...

An analysis of the reliability of using dropsonde profile data to compute surface flux coefficients of momentum and heat is performed. Monin-Obukhov (MO) similarity theory forms...

For the first time we derive an analytical expression for energy deposition by propagating monochromatic Alfven waves in the collisional ionosphere-thermosphere (IT). Based on...

In this work, we compare two different parameterisations for the wind velocity-component standard deviations. The first one is the (Hanna 1982) parameterisation, while the...

We introduce the National Science Foundation (NSF) AI Institute for Research on Trustworthy AI in Weather, Climate, and Coastal Oceanography (AI2ES). This AI institute was...

This technical note is a set of four documents describing the steps in using SCD computing. Introductory. The Primer : Version 2.2 is the first technical manual you read about...

The role of planetary waves in causing stratospheric sudden warmings (SSWs) is well understood and quantified. However, recent studies have indicated that secondary planetary...

CLUBB (Cloud Layers Unified by Binormals) is a higher-order closure (HOC) method with an assumed joint probability density function (PDF) for the subgrid variations in vertical...

We present the first global geospace simulation to reproduce auroral giant undulations (GUs). To identify their magnetospheric drivers, we employ the MAGE (Multiscale...

The nitric oxide (NO) 5.3 mu m radiative emission is the dominating and most efficient cooling agent in the thermosphere above 100 km. The NO 5.3 mu m radiative cooling is an...

Significant ecosystem-scale emissions of methylsalicylate (MeSA), a semivolatile plant hormone thought to act as the mobile signal for systemic acquired resistance (SAR), were...

Global cloud-resolving models (GCRMs) are a new type of atmospheric model which resolve nonhydrostatic accelerations globally with kilometer-scale resolution. This review...

Climate change is expected to increase the frequency of flooding events and, thus, the risks of flood-related mortality and infrastructure damage. Global-scale assessments of...
