Earth's atmosphere oxidizes the greenhouse gas methane and other gases, thus determining their lifetimes and oxidation products. Much of this oxidation occurs in the remote,...

Context. Strong ultraviolet (UV) emission from the sun will be observed by the Lyman-alpha Solar Telescope (LST) on board the Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S),...

Several previous studies have highlighted the irrigation-induced impacts on the global and regional water cycle, energy budget, and near-surface climate. While land models are...

We model the solar horizontal velocity power spectrum at scales larger than granulation using a two-component approximation to the mass continuity equation. The model takes four...

The Optical Spectrograph and Infra-Red Imager System (OSIRIS) and the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) have been taking measurements from space since 2001 and 2003,...

Research on geoengineering – deliberate management of the Earth's climate system – is being increasingly discussed within the science and policy communities. While justified...

In Part I of this two-part paper, a formulation was developed to treat fragmentation in ice-ice collisions. In the present Part II, the formulation is implemented in two...

The ability of the aerosol chemistry transport model CHIMERE to simulate the vertical aerosol concentration profiles at a site near the city of Paris is evaluated using routine...

This paper discusses large-scale climate variability for several marine ecosystems and suggests types of ecosystem responses to climate change. Our analysis of observations and...

A closed total energy (TE) budget is of utmost importance in coupled climate system modeling; in particular, the dynamical core or physics-dynamics coupling should ideally not...

During stratospheric sudden warming (SSW) periods large changes in the low-latitude vertical drift have been observed at Jicamarca as well as in other longitudinal sectors. In...

We examine the effect of accuracy of high-order spectral element methods, with or without adaptive mesh refinement (AMR), in the context of a classical configuration of magnetic...

In this study, the salinity budget of the North Atlantic subtropical salinity maximum region for control volumes bounded by isohaline surfaces is analyzed. The authors provide...

When testing hypotheses about which of two competing models is better, say A and B, the difference is often not significant. An alternative, complementary approach, is to...

The Stokes Profile Synthesis Routine (SPSR) calculates the Stokes vector emerging from a model atmosphere using the Diagonal Element Lambda Operator (DELO) method described in...

Errors in stratospheric bending angles retrieved from GPS radio occultations can be significantly reduced by using statistical optimization. In order for this technique to work...

The role of time-dependent freezing of ice nucleating particles (INPs) is evaluated with the "Aerosol-Cloud" (AC) model in 1) deep convection observed over Oklahoma during the...

Optimal estimation methods, such as the "maximum a posteriori" solution, are commonly employed for retrieving profiles of atmospheric trace gases from satellite observations. To...
