Measurements made during a field campaign in Idaho indicate that the speed of winds 2 meters above Earth’s surface determines the type of turbulence present in nighttime inversions.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Emission from a ship’s engine gives clues to how much light-absorbing molecules may build up on and above snow and sea ice. Such emissions are likely to increase as more ships venture into the Arctic.Read More »Climate Change

Researchers zero in on the large-scale meteorological processes driving extreme precipitation events in the hot, arid desert region.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Ten years of high-resolution gridded NEXRAD radar data provide a new data set to quantify tropopause-overshooting convection over the continental United States.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Cross-tropopause ozone transport in midlatitude cyclones, coincident with dry air intrusions, is derived from satellite and reanalysis data organized in cyclone-centric coordinates.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
A new investigation into the sensitivity of extreme precipitation in a changing climate indicates that more winter rainfall and protracted snowmelt may require local adaptations to winter flooding impacts.Read More »
