Importance of High Clouds and Moisture in Rainstorm Aggregation

by Jiwen Fan 21 October 202113 March 2023

A study of the impacts of radiative interactions with different cloud types on aggregation of rainstorms finds that interactions with high-clouds and water vapor are key.

AeroCom Models Improved with Aerosol and Albedo Constraints

by Jiwen Fan 20 October 202113 March 2023

Satellite data has been used to correct the aerosol loading and land surface albedo in several AeroCom models, which has improved shortwave flux biases between models and observations.

International Collaboration Yields Unique Climate Simulations

by P. Caldwell 29 January 202120 July 2022

Porting and optimizing CESM1.3 to run on the TaihuLight computer enabled an astounding 750 years of simulation with 0.25° grid spacing for land & atmosphere and 0.1° grid spacing for ocean & sea ice.

New Insights into Uncertainties About Earth’s Rising Temperature

by Sarah Stanley 30 October 202022 February 2023

A comparison of climate models finds that much of the variation in their predictions of global warming arises from differences in how they simulate the response of convective processes to warming.

A New Way to Fingerprint Drivers of Water Cycle Change

by Terri Cook 15 October 202020 July 2022

Simulations of tropical ocean convection help distinguish climate effects resulting from large-scale changes in atmospheric circulation from those resulting from higher temperatures.
