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.
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.
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.
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.
