A New Model for Self-Organized Pattern Formation

by Ton Hoitink 1 July 202111 February 2022

Scale-dependent feedbacks in time, rather than in space, result in a new type of competition, explaining the regularly patterned landscape of Big Cypress National Preserve in South Florida.

Modeling Urban-Weather Effects Can Inform Aerial Vehicle Flights

by D. Wuebbles 9 June 202120 July 2022

Microscale modeling can be used to understand and predict urban weather with sufficient detail to inform and support flight safety for crewed and uncrewed aerial vehicles.

Raising Central American Orography Improves Climate Simulation

by Sarah Kang 9 June 20218 March 2022

Elevation of Central American orography significantly reduces the pervasive tropical rainfall bias by blocking the easterlies and consequently warming the northeastern tropical Pacific.

Scientists Hope Atmospheric Modeling Can Predict Meteotsunamis

Tim Hornyak, Science Writer by Tim Hornyak 24 May 202117 May 2022

The first extensively documented air pressure–driven meteotsunami on one of the Great Lakes presents an opportunity to use existing weather models to predict when these potentially deadly waves will strike.
