• The wintertime covariation of CO2 and criteria pollutants in an urban valley...

  Numerous mountain valleys experience wintertime particulate pollution events, when persistent cold air pools (PCAPs) develop and inhibit atmospheric mixing, leading to the...

• Characterizing the potential for drought action from combined hydrological...

  Drought is a function of both natural and human influences, but fully characterizing the interactions between human and natural influences on drought remains challenging. To...

• Spectroscopic evidence for helicity in explosive events

  Aims. We report spectroscopic observations in support of a novel view of transition region explosive events, observations that lend empirical evidence that at least in some...
