PNNL contributes to 30 years of data on clouds, radiation, and other climate-making factors as part of field campaigns and analysis conducted by DOE's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement user facility.
PNNL researchers have uncovered a plant-derived process that leads to the formation of aerosol particles over the Amazon rainforest and potentially other forested parts of the world.
Combining aircraft measurements and regional modeling allowed researchers to identify the role of in-plant biochemistry in secondary organic aerosol formation.
Moving toward a deeper understanding of the influence of large marine biogenic particles on cloud ice formation by combining modeling and observational data.
The rapid growth of urban nanoparticles via the condensation of organic vapors substantially alters shallow cloud formation and suppresses precipitation.
A PNNL study that evaluated the use of friction stir technology on stainless steel has shown that the steel resists erosion more than three times that of its unprocessed counterpart.
A new paper found that hydropower turbines with composite blades generate about 20 percent more power than turbines with traditional stainless steel blades at the same flow rate.
