To produce food for a growing world population, irrigated areas have increased from approximately 0.63 million km(2) of land in 1900 to 3.1 million km(2) of land in 2005....

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....

The Northern Hemisphere and tropical circulation response to interannual variability in Arctic stratospheric ozone is analyzed in a set of the latest model simulations archived...

We use the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) version 6 ice cloud property and thermodynamic phase retrievals to quantify variability and 14-year trends in ice cloud frequency,...

In this observational study, the role of tree phenology on the atmospheric turbulence parameterization over 10-m-tall and relatively sparse deciduous vegetation is quantified....

The work presented here evaluates polar stratospheric ozone simulations from the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) for the Arctic winter of 2004–2005. We use the...

A cell-integrated semi-Lagrangian (CISL) semi-implicit nonhydrostatic solver for the fully compressible moist Euler equations in two-dimensional Cartesian (x–z) geometry is...

Storms deepen the mixed layer, entrain nutrients from the pycnocline, and fuel phytoplankton blooms in midlatitude oceans. However, the effects of oceanic submesoscale (0.1-10...

The occurrence of recent summer temperature extremes in the midlatitudes has raised questions about whether and how the distributions of summer temperature are changing. While...

A test program to photograph tropopause-level balloon ascent failures unexpectedly revealed the presence of a circumferential stress band in certain balloons which failed...

This document reports the calculations of theoretical collection efficiencies of various membrane filters over a wide spectrum of filtration conditions and particle sizes....

We compare top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiative fluxes observed by the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) and simulated by seven general circulation models forced...

As high-resolution numerical weather prediction models are now commonplace, "neighborhood'' verification metrics are regularly employed to evaluate forecast quality. These...

Glaciers in Alaska are currently losing mass at a rate of similar to-50 Gt a(-1), one of the largest ice loss rates of any regional collection of mountain glaciers on Earth....

The 2010 Development Test Environment Experiment (DTE10) took place from 28 January to 29 March 2010 in the Detroit, Michigan, metropolitan area for the purposes of collecting...

The necessity and benefits for establishing the international Earth-system Prediction Initiative (EPI) are discussed by scientists associated with the World Meteorological...

This study explores, for the first time, the asymmetric distribution of precipitation in tropical cyclones (TCs) making landfall along east China coast using reflectivity data...

Uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) observations from the Lower Atmospheric Profiling Studies at Elevation-A Remotely-Piloted Aircraft Team Experiment (LAPSE-RATE) field campaign...

This paper analyzes the spatial dependence of annual diurnal temperature range (DTR) trends from 1950-2004 on the annual climatology of three variables: precipitation, cloud...

The second phase of the North American Monsoon Experiment (NAME) Model Assessment Project (NAMAP2) was carried out to provide a coordinated set of simulations from global and...
