A new study finds that including Himalayan topography and land-atmosphere interactions improves climate models.
Toward More Realistic Modeling of the Mesosphere
New study reveals complex behavior of gravity waves in the atmosphere.
Understanding the Effects of Anthropogenic Space Weather
A large plasma hole generated by the vertical launch of the Formosat-5 satellite created temporary navigating and positioning errors of up to 1 meter, according to a new study.
Diagnosing the Warm Bias in the Central United States
A set of four papers published in JGR: Atmospheres present results from a project investigating why models predict warmer surface temperatures than are observed in the central United States.

Radiocarbon in the Oceans
Offsets in radiocarbon concentration within the ocean or between the ocean and the atmosphere are particularly useful proxies for a variety of studies.
Catching the Oncoming Radiation Storm
Improved processing enables satellite-based radiation sensors to match ground-based sensors in providing prompt warnings of the onset of atmospheric radiation storms that can endanger civil aviation.
How Heavy Oxygen Ions Escape Earth’s Gravity
A new study reveals that low-frequency electromagnetic waves accompany intense heating events at low altitudes.
