Improving Weather Simulations Through Increased Generality
By adding support for spatially variable velocity fields and anisotropy, the CoSMoS simulation package can more accurately reproduce physical phenomena.
Modeling Urban-Weather Effects Can Inform Aerial Vehicle Flights
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.
Calculating Human Health Risks with General Weather Data
Gridded climate data sets are just as effective as weather station data at assessing human mortality risk related to heat and cold, researchers suggest.
Forecasters Navigate a Highway to Success Around Lake Victoria
An early-warning system establishes international networks to help communities manage severe weather on Africa’s largest lake.
Tracing the Moisture That Nourishes the World’s Highest Glacier
Using data from weather stations on and around Mount Everest, scientists find that the Khumbu Glacier receives most of its moisture from the Bay of Bengal.
Stratospheric Weather Impacts Light Species at Great Heights
Sudden stratospheric warmings in the high latitude wintertime can drive changes in light species (H, He and O) all the way though the thermosphere, likely influencing ion densities in the exosphere.
Boosting Weather Prediction with Machine Learning
WeatherBench is a data set compiled to serve as a standard for evaluating new approaches to artificial intelligence–driven weather forecasting.
Rainwater Harvesting Can Reduce Flooding as Well as Saving Water
Weather forecasting can greatly improve benefits of rainwater harvesting.
