Understanding how people view flash flood risks can help improve risk communication, ultimately improving outcomes. This article analyzes data from 26 mental models interviews...

Transport pathways of air originating in the upper-tropospheric Asian monsoon anticyclone are investigated based on three-dimensional trajectories. The Asian monsoon anticyclone...

Thermospheric mass density perturbations are commonly observed during geomagnetic storms and fundamental to upper atmosphere dynamics, but the sources of these perturbations are...

This set of lecture notes introduces the dynamics, statistics, clouds, and models of the planetary boundary layer (PBL). The author prepared the notes for graduate classes while...

This article presents, for physics-oriented readers, some recent mathematical results that establish the uniqueness of solutions for moist advection problems in climate models....

Climate change is expected to modify ecological responses in the ocean, with the potential for important effects on the ecosystem services provided to humankind. Here we address...

In the framework of the EURO-CORDEX initiative an ensemble of European-wide high-resolution regional climate simulations on a 0.11∘(∼12.5km)0.11∘(∼12.5km) grid has been...

Through interactions between the modes of "waves" and "vortices", stably stratified turbulence exhibits characteristic features both in 2D and 3D. Using DNS of the Navier-Stokes...

Recent bark beetle epidemics have caused regional-scale tree mortality in many snowmelt-dominated headwater catchments of western North America. Initial expectations of...

We present results from the CREosote ATmosphere Interactions through Volatile Emissions (CREATIVE 2009) field study in southern Arizona aimed at quantifying emission rates of...

The integrated Population-Economy-Technology-Science (iPETS) model is a global integrated assessment model developed and used by NCAR's Integrated Assessment Modeling (IAM)...

The Amazon is the largest continuous tropical forest in the world and plays a key role in the global carbon cycle. Human-induced disturbances and climate change have impacted...

The upper-air sounding network for Dynamics of the Madden–Julian Oscillation (DYNAMO) has provided an unprecedented set of observations for studying the MJO over the Indian...

A 2-day inertia-gravity wave (IGW) was observed in high-resolution radiosonde soundings of horizontal wind and temperature taken during the 2006 Tropical Warm Pool-International...

A solver for the nonhydrostatic deep-atmosphere equations of motion is described that extends the capabilities of the Model for Prediction Across Scales-Atmosphere (MPAS-A)...

In the week including Mother’s Day 2024, active region (AR) 13664 became superactive when AR 13668 emerged nearby, causing multiple X-class flares and coronal mass...

Using a large database containing DMSP F13 observations under geomagnetically quiet conditions from 1998 to 2009, the hemispheric asymmetries of the distribution of the Poynting...

CGILS—the CFMIP-GASS Intercomparison of Large Eddy Models (LESs) and single column models (SCMs)—investigates the mechanisms of cloud feedback in SCMs and LESs under...

A long-lived (>10 hr) O/N-2 column density ratio (Sigma O/N-2) depletion at middle latitudes was observed by the Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) during...

The climate sensitivity of the Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3) is studied for two past climate forcings, the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the mid-Holocene....
