This report is part of a series prepared for the Materials Research Project of the NCAR Scientific Balloon Facility in order to extend the reliability and capabilities of...

We present an analysis of annual and seasonal mean characteristics of the Indian Ocean circulation and water masses from 16 global ocean-sea-ice model simulations that follow...

Tropical modes of variability, such as El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), exert a strong influence on the interannual variability of...

Based on a large-eddy simulation approach, this study investigates the response of the ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) and Langmuir turbulence (LT) to extreme wind and...

Aquaplanet experiments are important tools for understanding and improving physical processes simulated by global models; yet, previous aquaplanet experiments largely differ in...

In this paper the impact of the field-aligned ion drag on equatorial thermosphere temperature and density is quantitatively investigated on the basis of the National Center for...

Temperature profiles in the extratropics often exhibit multiple tropopauses (as defined using the lapse rate definition). In this work we study the observational characteristics...

We present a new parameterization of the altitude profile of the ionization rate in the Earth's atmosphere due to precipitating energetic electrons. Precipitating electrons are...

The long-term monitoring and high photometric precision of the Kepler satellite will provide a unique opportunity to sound the stellar cycles of many solar-type stars using...

Biased, incomplete numerical models are often used for forecasting states of complex dynamical systems by mapping an estimate of a “true” initial state into model...

Biomass burning (BB) in southern Africa is the largest emission source of CO and O₃ precursors within Africa during the West African Monsoon (WAM) between June and August. The...

The connection between the dominant mode of interannual variability in the tropical troposphere, the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and the entry of stratospheric water...

This study estimates the random error variances and standard deviations (STDs) for four datasets: Global Hawk (GH) dropsondes (DROP), the High-Altitude Monolithic Microwave...

In this paper we report the detection of a large-scale gravity wave propagating over an extremely large horizontal distance in the thermosphere on 28 July 2006. Specifically,...

Emissions from 15 agricultural fires in the southeastern U.S. were measured from the NASA DC-8 research aircraft during the summer 2013 Studies of Emissions and Atmospheric...

An empirical model of subauroral polarization streams (SAPS) has been incorporated into the Thermosphere Ionosphere Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (TIEGCM). This SAPS...

The work a computer system performs to temporarily suspend execution of one process and resume execution of another process is called a context switch. The time it takes for a...

A tropical cyclone--permitting global atmospheric model is used to explore the hurricane frequency response to sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies generated by coupled...

delta O-18 in foraminifera (delta O-18(c)) is a useful proxy for density, and the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) can be reconstructed by the...
