To help understand the large disparity in the results of circulation modeling for the atmospheres of Titan and Venus, where the whole atmosphere rotates faster than the surface...

Background Ambient temperature observations from single monitoring stations (usually located at the major international airport serving a city) are routinely used to estimate...

This article investigates the dynamic ways that people communicate, assess, and respond as a weather threat evolves. It uses social media data, which offer unique records of...

Plants exchange greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and water with the atmosphere through the processes of photosynthesis and transpiration, making them essential in climate...

Simulation of coupled carbon-climate requires representation of ocean carbon cycling, but the computational burden of simulating the dozens of prognostic tracers in state-of-...

Solar flare enhancements to the soft X-ray (XUV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectral irradiance depend on the location of the flare on the solar disk. Most emission lines in...

A new type of the additional layer is predicted to occur in the low-latitude F region ionosphere during evening hours of a major magnetic storm. By using the coupled NCAR...

The response of tropical ecosystems to elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) remains a critical uncertainty in projections of future climate. Here, we investigate how leaf trait...

The development of Hurricane Catarina over the western South Atlantic Ocean in March 2004 marks the first time that the existence of a hurricane has been confirmed by analysis...

Retrieving the total number density [OH], which is used in the chemical balance equations and is the sum of both ground and excited vibrational state populations, is a...

The impact of aerosols produced by biomass burning on the stratocumulus-to-cumulus transition (SCT) in the equatorial Atlantic is studied using satellite-based and reanalysis...

Observational data show that the Arctic Ocean has significantly and rapidly changed over the last few decades, which is unprecedented in the observational record. Air and water...

Numerical solutions are presented for steady flow in a zonal channel subjected to a meridionally varying zonal wind stress at the upper surface. The model used is adiabatic,...

Seven new utilities have been written for Version 3.00 of NCAR Graphics. The package features new device drivers for many new terminals and printers. You can now display...

Intrusions of air from the tropical upper troposphere into the extratropical stratosphere above the subtropical jet potentially have a significant impact on the composition of...

The correspondence between mean sea surface temperature (SST) biases in retrospective seasonal forecasts (hindcasts) and long-term climate simulations from five global climate...

Climate change is affecting the hydrology of high-elevation mountain ecosystems, with implications for ecosystem functioning and water availability to downstream populations. We...

Digital image sensors are ubiquitous in astronomical instrumentation and it is well known that they suffer from issues that must be corrected for data to be scientifically...

We describe the space discretization of a three-dimensional baroclinic finite element model, based upon a discontinuous Galerkin method, while the companion paper (Comblen et...

We present an empirical model of thermospheric winds (High-latitude Thermospheric Wind Model [HL-TWiM]) that specifies F region high-latitude horizontal neutral winds as a...
