Principles derived from coastal wetlands to describe wetland channel cross-sections were applicable to the Columbia River estuary, but not the tidal river.
Researchers found that warmer local sea surfaces increase the winter snowpack in the Sierra Nevada mountains, but reduce snowpack in the Cascade range.
Researchers attained a new understanding of how and why the Great Plains low-level jet changes under global warming has implications for future weather in the Central U.S.
Researchers developed a strategy for quantifying the numerical errors in global simulations of atmospheric clouds and attributing them to components in the computational model.
A new decomposition method allows scientists to unravel the atmosphere-ice-ocean interactions that drive Arctic sea ice changes under increasing carbon dioxide levels.
The persistent double-ITCZ bias in Earth system models influences projections of future precipitation in regions that are already under severe water stress.
