The Antarctic ozone hole will continue to be observed in the next 35–50 years, although the emissions of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have gradually been phased out during the...

Urban air pollution absorbs and scatters solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and thus has a potentially large effect on tropospheric photochemical rates. We present the first...

Daytime thermospheric winds observed by the balloon-borne instrument HIWIND (High-altitude Interferometer WIND experiment) during two flights in June 2011 and 2018 from Kiruna...

Atmospheric reanalyses are widely used to estimate the past atmospheric near-surface state over sea ice. They provide boundary conditions for sea ice and ocean numerical...

Tropical cyclones are generally characterized by strong rotating winds, and yet, the associated rainfall can be equally destructive. Tropical Storm Erika (2015) is an example of...

This multi-method study of high precipitation over parts of Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and parts of Zambia in February 2018 indicates decreased likelihood of such events due to...

Soils are a crucial component of the Earth system; they comprise a large portion of terrestrial carbon stocks, mediate the supply and demand of nutrients, and influence the...

U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) forecasters assess and communicate hazardous weather risks, including the likelihood of a threat and its impacts. Convection-allowing model...

The modeling of ice sheets in Earth system models (ESMs) is an active area of research with applications to future sea level rise projections and paleoclimate studies. A major...

Atmospheric general circulation model experiments are conducted to quantify the contribution of internal oceanic variability in the form of tropical instability waves (TIWs) to...

The solar minimum period between solar cycles 23 and 24 was the longest since the beginning of space-based measurements, and many manifestations of solar activity were unusually...

In this study, the influence of climate change to California and Nevada regions was investigated through high-resolution (4-km grid spacing) dynamical downscaling using the WRF...

We address the important question of whether the newly discovered exoplanet, Proxima Centauri b (PCb), is capable of retaining an atmosphere over long periods of time. This is...

Changes in atmospheric CO₂ variability during the twenty-first century may provide insight about ecosystem responses to climate change and have implications for the design of...

A melting layer detection algorithm is developed for the NCAR 94 GHz airborne cloud radar (HIAPER CloudRadar, HCR). The detection method is based on maxima in the linear...

The Antarctic Ice Sheet represents the largest source of uncertainty in future sea level rise projections, with a contribution to sea level by 2100 ranging from - 5 to 43 cm of...

This is a Microfilm atlas of magnetic fields in the solar corona. The original item included a text of 26 pages and 11,000 maps on 11 reels of microfilm. This Atlas contains...

Characteristics of, and fundamental differences between, the radiative-convective equilibrium (RCE) climate states following the Radiative-Convective Equilibrium Model...

The probability that summer temperatures in the future will exceed the hottest on record during 1920-2014 is projected to increase at all land locations with global warming....

Tropopause polar vortices are coherent circulation features based on the tropopause in polar regions. They are a common feature of the Arctic, with typical radii less than 1500...
