A 5-yr climatology of westerly wind events in Owens Valley, California, is derived from data measured by a mesoscale network of 16 automatic weather stations. Thermally driven...

We present emission measurements of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for western U.S. wildland fires made on the NSF/NCAR C-130 research aircraft during the Western Wildfire...

Understanding changes in the burden and growth rate of atmospheric methane (CH4) has been the focus of several recent studies but still lacks scientific consensus. Here we...

Fundamental characteristics of the aquaplanet climate simulated by the Community Atmosphere Model, Version 5.3 (CAM5.3) are presented. The assumptions and simplifications of the...

The sensitivity of nested WRF simulations of precipitating shallow marine cumuli and cold pools to microphysical parameterization is examined. The simulations differ only in...

Context. Numerical simulations of the solar chromosphere predict a diverse thermal structure with both hot and cool regions. Observations of plage regions in particular...

Dual-polarization radar is a valuable tool for quantifying rainfall, including in remote and mountainous regions, but subject to partial beam blockage and ground clutter. Recent...

In the solar corona, magnetic helicity slowly and continuously accumulates in response to plasma flows tangential to the photosphere and magnetic flux emergence through it....

The assessment of climate change impacts on water resources involves several methodological decisions, including choices of global climate models (GCMs), emission scenarios,...

An analysis of a bow echo that produced damaging winds exceeding F1 in intensity on the Fujita scale near Omaha, Nebraska, is shown. Part I of this study presents a combination...

Flows in urban rivers are increasingly managed to support water supply needs while also protecting and/or restoring instream ecological functions, goals that are often in...

Mixed organic films composed of molecules with differing hydrophobic groups are relevant to environmental interfaces such as the surface of atmospheric aerosols due to the...

We compare equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) estimates from pairs of long (>= 800-year) control and abruptly quadrupled CO(2)simulations with shorter (150- and 300-year)...

This study investigates the noise level and mission-to-mission stability of Global Positioning System (GPS) radio occultation (RO) neutral atmospheric bending angle data at the...

We investigated the predictive capability of various configurations of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model version 4.4, to predict hub height offshore wind speed...

This paper describes ESM-SnowMIP, an international coordinated modelling effort to evaluate current snow schemes, including snow schemes that are included in Earth system...

This study examines the transport of chemical species to the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) by Typhoon Mireille (1991). We follow an integrated research approach,...

The Marine Biogeochemistry Library (MARBL) is a prognostic ocean biogeochemistry model that simulates marine ecosystem dynamics and the coupled cycles of carbon, nitrogen,...

Previous studies have found surprisingly strong vertical motions in low levels of some tropical cyclones. In this study, all available dropsondes (12 000) within tropical...

As of May 2007, the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) implemented a new Global Data Assimilation System. This system incorporated the assimilation of global...
