Leung was honored for pioneering approaches in climate modeling, discovering unexpected impacts of regional climate change, and understanding extreme weather events and their future changes.

A new model offers more accurate predictions of how intensely hurricanes may strike.

New estimates show that coastlines around the world will experience an increase in the frequency of extreme sea level events at a range of global warming levels.

Researchers measured the complex air flow that governs the formation of clouds and thunderstorms over Argentinian mountains.

Scientists created a benchmark dataset and explored new algorithms to better predict changes in the intensity of North Atlantic tropical cyclones.

Researchers quantified the contributions of four different types of convective storms to summer extreme precipitation in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Rotational Hammer Riveting, developed by PNNL, joins dissimilar materials quickly without preheating rivets. The friction-based riveting enables use of lightweight magnesium rivets and also works on aluminum and speeds manufacturing.

Extreme sea levels will become 100 times more frequent by the end of the century around the world, according to a new study.

Atmospheric Scientist Beat Schmid helped develop a report assessing the scientific need for a new large aircraft at NASA.

An analysis of Panamanian forests found two different sets of correlating hydraulics traits in tropical trees.

Laboratory fellow title given to those who have reached the top of their field and earned international recognition from peers.

Differences in background moisture transport explain how climate variability modes influence the frequency of landfalling atmospheric rivers and their corresponding precipitation.

Sherman Beus, software engineer, Katie Dorsey, communications team writer and editor, and Brian Ermold, data ingest manager, receive 2021 Atmospheric Radiation Measurement User Facility Service Awards.

Examining flood occurrences associated with mesoscale convective systems and their characteristics allows researchers to explore climate-flood linkages.

Large ensemble simulations show that aerosols can significantly modify the predictability of hail and precipitation in hailstorms.

The most polluted U.S. communities from five years ago are still the most polluted today, 50 years after passage of the Clean Air Act amendments of 1970.

Soil texture and environmental history play a strong role in how different soils respond to moisture extremes like drought and flood.

Researchers used instruments in an airborne lab to characterize aerosol particles and their sources over the remote Eastern North Atlantic.

Three recent doctoral graduates are beginning their research careers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory after completing the WSU-PNNL Distinguished Graduate Research Program this spring.
