A theoretical index linking precipitation and atmospheric evaporative demand explains historical land humidity changes across observations, reanalyses, and climate models.
Observations, reanalysis, and E3SMv3 experiments linked inter-annual variability of Congo Basin surface temperature to the zonal position of precipitation over the Indo-Pacific maritime continent region.
Quasi-stationary Rossby waves shape North American temperature extremes, but higher model resolution does not always improve their modeled representation.
Watershed-based representation discretized into topographic subgrid units better captured small-scale land cover, precipitation, temperature, and snow variability across multiple spatial scales.
Numerical simulations reveal how well-controlled wall temperature and moisture can generate a stratocumulus-like cloud top in a laboratory cloud chamber.
Tracking water age using a new precipitation tagging method within a hydrologic model generates key information to support hydropower energy and other water-dependent systems.
A team from PNNL joined the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate and first responders from across the country to evaluate commercially available unmanned ground vehicles for emergency response.
A perspective paper recently published by PNNL researchers underscores how the Lab’s research on electrochemical energy storage is preparing the electric grid to meet the energy needs of the future.
Now, anyone can easily explore and access data from a nationwide map of data centers, the infrastructure that powers them, and projections of future data center locations.
Utilities across Washington join PNNL and the Washington State Department of Commerce to explore new tools and strategies for building resilient and reliable power systems.
