The Paris Agreement of December 2015 stated a goal to pursue efforts to keep global temperatures below 1.5 degrees C above preindustrial levels and well below 2 degrees C. The...

A refined land cover classification for the arid Phoenix (Arizona) metropolitan area and some simple modifications to the surface energetics were introduced in the fifth-...

A method to estimate nanoparticle diameter growth rates (GR) during new particle formation (NPF) events from the measured dependence of charged fraction, f, on size, Dp , is...

Atmospheric aerosols such as sulfate and black carbon (BC) generate inhomogeneous radiative forcing and can affect precipitation in distinct ways compared to greenhouse gases...

This study explores the hypothesis that subtropical and tropical monsoon regions exhibit unique responses to vegetation feedbacks. Using the Community Climate System Model...

This paper describes the development of a model framework for Forecasts of Hurricanes Using Large-Ensemble Outputs (FHLO). FHLO quantifies the forecast uncertainty of a tropical...

Global climate models (GCMs) exhibit stronger mean easterly zonal surface wind stress and near-surface winds in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) trade winds than observationally...

Vortex dipoles provide a simple representation of localized atmospheric jets. Numerical simulations of a synoptic-scale dipole in surface potential temperature are considered in...

This expository paper documents an experimental, real-time, 10-member, 3-km, convection-allowing ensemble prediction system (EPS) developed at the National Center for...

Storm surge impact depends on coastal geographical and bathymetric features as well as various tropical cyclone characteristics including the size, intensity, and impact angle...

We investigate the interhemispheric circulation at the solstices, in order to understand why O/N2 is larger in the northern hemisphere winter than in the southern hemisphere...

Forced interannual-to-decadal variability of annual tropical cyclone (TC) track density in the western North Pacific between 1979 and 2008 is studied using TC tracks from...

Between 17 June and 26 July 1968 the Advance Study Program at NCAR and the Astro-Geophysics Department of the University of Colorado conducted a six-week colloquium on the...

The Second WCRP Summer School brought together expert scientists to share knowledge with early career scientists on the latest developments in global atmospheric models with an...

The Community Land Model, version 4 (CLM4) includes the option to run the prognostic carbon-nitrogen (CN) model with dynamic vegetation (CNDV). CNDV, which simulates unmanaged...

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...

In order to reach challenging performance goals, computer architectures will change significantly in the next future. Heterogeneous chips, equipped with different types of cores...

The global transport of the surface-emitted short-lived passive tracers radon and methyl iodide is simulated in a cloud-resolving Global Climate Model (GCM) for the first time...

We develop a more realistic two-dimensional model for global MHD instabilities in the solar tachocline, by including diffusion in the form of kinetic and magnetic drag (...

This study demonstrates how midlevel dry air and vertical wind shear (VWS) can modulate tropical cyclone (TC) development via radial ventilation. A suite of experiments was...
