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.
Short-term flooding of an experimental coastal forest impacted soils but not trees, with implications for understanding ecosystem disturbance responses.
Watershed-based representation discretized into topographic subgrid units better captured small-scale land cover, precipitation, temperature, and snow variability across multiple spatial scales.
Lab experiments show that just a few saltwater pulses can rapidly alter soil pore structure and reduce oxygen flow, stressing tree roots in coastal forest soils.
Numerical simulations reveal how well-controlled wall temperature and moisture can generate a stratocumulus-like cloud top in a laboratory cloud chamber.
Newly designed sensor network comprehensively monitors a range of coastal landscapes to better understand nutrient and elemental dynamics that drive ecosystem function.
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.
