The influence of convective adjustment time scale (τ) in simulating the tropical transient activity is examined using the NCAR-Community Atmosphere Model (CAM). In the default...

Previous studies report unexpected electron density reductions, termed "plasma caves," located underneath the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) crests. A radio occultation...

In this study, we employ a global coupled climate model to show that the Bering Strait is important to the variations of the thermohaline circulation. Three experiments are...

Climate variability in the last millennium (past 1000 years) is dominated by the effects of large-magnitude volcanic eruptions; however, a long-standing mismatch exists...

Poynting flux into the ionosphere measures the electromagnetic energy coming from the magnetosphere. This energy flux can vary greatly between quiet times and geomagnetic active...

The goal of this work is to characterize the extreme precipitation simulated by a regional climate model (RCM) over its spatial domain. For this purpose, we develop a Bayesian...

The collision-induced O₂ complex, O₂O₂, is a very important trace gas for understanding remote sensing measurements of aerosols, cloud properties and atmospheric trace...

Hinode/Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) observations reveal two new dynamic modes in quiescent solar prominences: large-scale (20-50 Mm) "arches" or "bubbles" that "inflate" from...

The unambiguous retrieval of cloud phase from polarimetric lidar observations is dependent on the assumption that only cloud scattering processes affect polarization...

In the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region, residual circulations driven by gravity wave breaking and dissipation significantly impact constituent distribution and...

Human-controlled reservoirs have a large influence on the global water cycle. While global hydrological models use generic parameterizations to model dam operations, the...

We present a new volatility basis set (VBS) representation of aromatic secondary organic aerosol (SOA) for atmospheric chemistry models by fitting a statistical oxidation model...

The scarcity of salinity observations prior to the Argo period makes it tremendously difficult to estimate ocean states. By using the so-called pseudo salinity profiles...

We investigated the springtime variability of ozone in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) over East Asia using data from the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding...

A combination of dawn and dusk observations from the DMSP F13 satellite and output from the thermosphere-ionosphere-electrodynamics general circulation model (TIE-GCM) are used...

The increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere create an increase in Earth's thermal energy, which is mainly stored in the ocean. Quantification of the rate...

Ellerman Bombs are signatures of magnetic reconnection, which is an important physical process in the solar atmosphere. How and where they occur is a subject of debate. In this...

High-resolution 24-h runs of the Advanced Research version of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model are used to test eight objective methods for estimating convective...

This paper presents application of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to limited-area modeling of atmospheric processes over the subtropical south-eastern Pacific,...

Tropical cyclones have enormous costs to society through both loss of life and damage to infrastructure. There is good reason to believe that such storms will change in the...
