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...

How the solar electromagnetic energy entering the Earth's atmosphere varied since preindustrial times is an important consideration in the climate change debate. Detrimental to...

Foehn winds are a prominent feature of the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs) climate, and are responsible for periods of strong winds and warming. The foehn mechanism determined from a...

In Part I of this two-part paper, the multivariate minimum residual (MMR) scheme was introduced to retrieve profiles of cloud fraction from satellite infrared radiances and...

Oxygen chemistry plays a central role in the production of plasma in the ionosphere. While molecular oxygen (O-2) is the third most abundant constituent in the thermosphere,...

The strength and structure of the Earth's magnetic field is gradually changing. During the next 50 years the dipole moment is predicted to decrease by 3.5%, with the South...

In this study, we analyse the role of climate change in the forest fires that raged through large parts of Sweden in the summer of 2018 from a meteorological perspective. This...

In the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting Model (ARW), versions 3.0 and earlier, advection of scalars was performed using the Runge–Kutta time-integration...

This paper reviews the evolution of planetary boundary layer (PBL) parameterization schemes that have been used in the operational version of the Hurricane Weather Research and...

Today's flight planning aims for safety and efficiency based on the airspace structure, available air routes, and weather. For long-distance flights, wind is of primary interest...

Multiplatform observations of Hurricane Rita (2005) were collected as part of the Hurricane Rainband and Intensity Change Experiment (RAINEX) field campaign during a concentric...

Over the past decades, various experimental and numerical model studies have indicated cooling trend in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT), while the magnitude of the...

The FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC spacecraft constellation consisting of six LEO satellites is the world's first operational GPS Radio Occultation (RO) mission. The mission is jointly...

Uncertainties remain about the spatial pattern and magnitude of the biophysical effects of deforestation. In particular, a diurnal asymmetry in the magnitude and sign of the...

The Cooperative Program for Operational Meteorology, Education, and Training (COMET)'s mission when it began in 1990 was to deliver professional development opportunities to...

This study analyses Global Positioning System dropsondes to document the axisymmetric tropical cyclone (TC) boundary-layer structure, based on storm intensity. A total of 2608...

Simple rate equation models for subfilter-scale scalar and momentum fluxes have previously been developed for application in the so-called "terra incognita" of atmospheric...

This report presents the equations governing the vertical motion of a balloon and reviews recent advances in heat transfer experimentation and theory pertinent to the processes...

Particle filtering methods for data assimilation may suffer from the "curse of dimensionality," where the required ensemble size grows rapidly as the dimension increases. It...
