West Antarctic Ice Sheet mass loss is a major source of uncertainty in sea level projections. The primary driver of this melting is oceanic heat from Circumpolar Deep Water...

There are many problems in security and defense that require a robust optimization technique, including those that involve the release of a chemical or biological contaminant....

Society relies on Earth system models (ESMs) to project future climate and carbon (C) cycle feedbacks. However, the soil C response to climate change is highly uncertain in...

After the 2005 hurricane season, several meteorology students at Texas A&M University became interested in understanding Hurricane Rita's forecasts and societal impacts in...

A winter storm that crossed the continental United States in mid-February 1990 produced hazardous weather across a vast area of the nation. A wide range of severe weather was...

A diverse collection of models are used to simulate the marine boundary layer in the southeast Pacific region during the period of the October-November 2008 VOCALS REx (VAMOS...

To satisfy a need for digitized information on the solar spectrum between 2000 and 3600 A, an attempt was made to combine the available measurements into a composite, high-...

We investigate relativistic electron precipitation events detected by Polar Environmental Satellites (POES) in low-Earth orbit in close conjunction with Van Allen Probe A...

During an interval of the Late Pliocene, referred to here as the mid-Pliocene Warm Period (mPWP; 3.264 to 3.025 million years ago), global mean temperature was similar to that...

Estimating population exposure to particulate matter during wildfires can be difficult because of insufficient monitoring data to capture the spatiotemporal variability of smoke...

The Parallel Offline Radiative Transfer (PORT) model is a stand-alone tool, driven by model-generated datasets, that can be used for any radiation calculation that the...

Relations between W band radar reflectivity and ice cloud water content and visible extinction coefficient are developed using a large microphysical data set. These relations...

The representation of permafrost and seasonally frozen ground and their projected twenty-first century trends is assessed in the Community Climate System Model, version 4...

To increase the reliability and extend the capabilities of scientific ballooning, polyethylene balloon films were measured for impact toughness at +23 and -80��C,...

This paper investigates the statistical features of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) using airglow images from 2012 to 2014 from a ground-based network of four imagers in the...

Unintended consequences from decisions made in one part of a social-ecological system in response to climate hazards can magnify vulnerabilities for others in the same system....

Accurate predictions of the sea state-dependent air-sea momentum flux require a thorough understanding of the wave boundary layer turbulence over surface waves. A set of...

A better understanding of multiscale interactions within the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO), including momentum exchanges, is critical for improved MJO prediction skill. In...

Modelling of adiabatic gravity wave propagation in the solar atmosphere showed that mode conversion to field guided acoustic waves or Alfvén waves was possible in the presence...

Two rather different flavors of El Niño are revealed when the full three-dimensional spatial structure of the temperature field and atmospheric circulation monthly mean...
