Heights of nocturnal boundary layer (NBL) features are determined using vertical profiles from the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting Model (ARW-WRF), and then...

This paper argues that a global large eddy simulation can be achieved through the application of the superparametrization (SP) methodology on massively parallel computers. SP...

Using isentropic coordinates in atmospheric models has the advantage of eliminating the cross-coordinate vertical mass flux for adiabatic flow, and virtually eliminating the...

Climate change-induced shifts in snow storage and snowmelt patterns pose risks for adverse impacts to people, the environment, and irrigated agriculture. Existing research...

Snow falling into a melting layer will eventually consist of a fraction of meltwater and hence change its characteristics in terms of size, shape, density and fall speed. Most...

El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has far reaching global climatic impacts and so extending useful ENSO forecasts would have great societal benefit. However, one key variable...

Nitrogen isotope fractionations between nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2) play a significant role in determining the nitrogen isotopic compositions (delta N-15) of atmospheric...

This paper explores the impact of diurnal tides that begin near the surface as heat is released by evaporation and condensation on Earth's upper atmosphere natural thermostat:...

The evolution of ocean temperature measurement systems is presented with a focus on the development and accuracy of two critical devices in use today (expendable...

The Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) measures column-average mole fractions of several greenhouse gases (GHGs), beginning in 2004, from over 30 current or past...

Modeling experiments and field campaigns have evaluated shallow convective mixing as a potential constraint on the low‐cloud climate feedback, which is critical for...

A difference-frequency generation based spectrometer system for simultaneous ultra-sensitive measurements of formaldehyde (CH₂O) and Methane (CH₄) is presented. A new...

A comparison study of the auroral E region neutral wind has been conducted using the European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) radar observations and Thermosphere-Ionosphere-...

This report discusses the results of a series of wind tunnel and field tests performed in support of a program to develop a balloon inflation and launch shelter. The study...

The thermodynamic and kinematic environments favoring the growth of large hailstones (diameter ≥ 19 mm) may be classified into five distinct types. In this study, we...

Lapse rate tropopause (LRT) heights in the extratropics have been shown to display a bimodal distribution, with one modal maxima above 15 km (typical of the tropical tropopause)...

Dramatic changes have been observed in the Arctic over the last century. Many of these involve the storage and cycling of fresh water. On land, precipitation and river...

During the second week of September 2013, a seasonally uncharacteristic weather pattern stalled over the Rocky Mountain Front Range region of northern Colorado bringing with it...

Terrestrial plants have transformed Earth's surface environments by altering water, energy, and biogeochemical cycles. Studying vegetation-climate interaction in deep time has...
