A research project that brings together mathematicians and atmospheric scientists has developed into a deep collaboration for improving atmospheric models.

New research shows that a warmer ocean strengthens the North Pacific westerly jet stream, steering more storms toward California.

Researchers found that using deep neural networks can significantly enhance the resolution of observations from weather radars.

PNNL licensed two technologies to generate hydrogen. One, a reactor design, generates hydrogen from natural gas. The second innovation uses a 3D printing method to economically manufacture the generator.

A compound used in candles offers promise for a modern energy challenge—storing massive amounts of energy to be fed into the electric grid as the need arises.

Field campaign data shows that biologically-derived emissions largely control the formation of organic aerosol in the Southern Great Plains.

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

A simple sensor system developed at PNNL can prevent dangerous battery fires.

Materials scientist Chongmin Wang has been named a fellow of the Microscopy Society of America.

Researchers developed a novel database of global mesoscale convective systems to reveal storm characteristics and rainfall contributions.

Critical mineral extraction technology to be commercialized with business partner, Moselle Technologies.

Adding an advanced atmospheric aerosol treatment to a climate model enables assessments of the radiative effects of nitrate aerosols.

A recently developed laboratory-based technique allows researchers to quantify aerosol absorption from field campaign samples.

PNNL and four other national laboratories executed the Hydropower Value Study to examine hydropower operations in different regions of the United States.

Researchers developed a strategy for quantifying the numerical errors in global simulations of atmospheric clouds and attributing them to components in the computational model.

Senior members of the National Academy of Inventors are recognized for their remarkable innovations that have brought, or aspire to bring, real impact on the welfare of society.

By improving the detail in representations of turbulence, researchers can more accurately simulate agricultural soil emissions in the atmosphere.

A new decomposition method allows scientists to unravel the atmosphere-ice-ocean interactions that drive Arctic sea ice changes under increasing carbon dioxide levels.
