Improving Climate Models: Black Carbon Mixing and Shape Effects
A new study introduces a parameterization scheme to capture the complex optical properties of atmospheric black carbon, accounting for its mixing state, nonsphericity, and heterogeneous coatings.
Future Global Flood Hazards at Unprecedented Accuracy
A global flood hazard map at 30-meter resolution is constructed using latest hydrology, topography, and climate data, and its accuracy is approaching that of local to regional scale flood inundation maps.
Using Satellite Data to Estimate Atmospheric CO2 Growth Rates
A new method improves growth rate estimates of carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere by combining the standard NOAA approach with satellite data.
Past and Future Changes in Atmospheric Clear-Air Turbulence
A new study evaluates long-term changes in atmospheric clear-air turbulence based on meteorological reanalysis and climate model simulations.
Impact of NASA’s GDC Measurements on Predicting Earth’s Upper Atmosphere
A new study finds that assimilating observations of the ionosphere and thermosphere reduces the error in model predictions more than modeling either one individually.
Crustal Melts at the Core-Mantle Boundary
Seismic waves get sent in all directions for deep mantle anomalies, and a new analysis shows where those scatters lie and what properties they have.
New Method Reveals Hidden Structures in Clear-Sky Vertical Motion
High-resolution satellite data reveal unexpected, highly heterogeneous vertical motions in the clear-sky atmosphere, with a new method proposed for measuring these motions.
As the River Flows the Colors Sparkle
Diving into the science behind river color and its relationship with flow.
New Moonquakes from Old Data
Almost 50 years after they were turned off, the Apollo seismometers still have secrets to reveal.
