Tracking Human CO2 Emissions from Medium-Sized Cities
Atmospheric inverse models, combined with observations, successfully tracked modest CO2 emission reductions in Salt Lake City during the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020.
Deciphering the History of a Rock’s Crystallization
By combining a phase field function approach with bulk thermodynamics of mineral phases, the thermal history of a rock can now be deciphered from its distribution of mineral phases.
A New Workflow to Image the 3D Structure of Active Faults
A new approach to illuminate 3D fault structures using earthquake hypocenters may improve our understanding of earthquake propagation and arrest across step overs.
Simulating the Journey of Pollen in the Atmosphere
A new study couples an emission and transport scheme of pollen from vegetation, and explores pollen’s evolution in different atmospheric conditions and its impacts on clouds and precipitation.
A New Perspective on Aerosols and Emissions Over Northern China
During 2013-2019, a distinct seasonality for trends of aerosol concentrations and optical properties was found over Northern China.
Simulating Clouds on Arbitrary Grids in Any Spatial Direction
A new non-column based spectral element implementation of cloud microphysics enables full 3D flexibility in computing clouds and improves computational efficiency.
Modeling Whole Atmosphere Responses to the Hunga-Tonga Eruption
A high-resolution whole atmosphere simulation captures the strong, global responses up to the thermosphere and ionosphere following the Hunga-Tonga volcano eruption.
A 150-Day Periodicity is Revealed in the Southern Extratropics
An internally generated 150-day periodicity is newly identified in the Southern Hemisphere extratropical large-scale atmospheric circulation, which arises from the annular mode’s propagating regime.
