Impact of Geostationary Sounder on Typhoon Forecasts
An analysis of the impact of targeted observations from the Geostationary Interferometric Infrared Sounder at high-temporal resolution on forecasts for Typhoon Maria in 2018.
New Insights on Stratospheric Circulation from Fluorine Tracers
Stratospheric fluorine species have accumulated faster in the Northern Hemisphere over the past two decades reflecting interhemispheric differences in the Brewer-Dobson transport circulation.
What Controls Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Rivers?
Statistical and numerical models show that denitrification efficiency is a key parameter controlling the production of N2O from rivers, providing a target for river restoration projects.
Dungeness Crab at Risk from Multiple Climate-Related Stressors
The lucrative Dungeness crab fishery is at risk because of the combined effects of projected climate-related habitat changes: lower oxygen, warming temperature, and increased acidity.
Simpson’s Law Role and Water Vapor Feedbacks
The choice of a fixed relative humidity leads to a simpler picture of climate feedbacks than fixing absolute humidity.

A new analysis strategy sheds new light on the electrical conductivity of the lunar mantle between 300 and 900 km depth.
Hurricane Forecast Improvement with Better Turbulent Processes
A new look at turbulent processes has improved the prediction of hurricane rapid intensification by properly accounting for the unique environment of a hurricane eyewall.
A New Way to Represent Microphysical Uncertainty
A new way of representing microphysical uncertainty in convective-scale data assimilation reduces biases in model states and improves the accuracy of short-term precipitation forecasts.
Reduced Winter PM2.5 in Northern India Under Global Warming
Global warming is projected to alleviate PM2.5 pollution in Delhi by decreasing pollution-favorable weather days and increasing clean-favorable weather days.
