Researchers found that warmer local sea surfaces increase the winter snowpack in the Sierra Nevada mountains, but reduce snowpack in the Cascade range.
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.
