Assessing a complex concert of the weather and terrain conditions that affect the growth of cumulus clouds into deep thunderstorms along mountain ranges.
Researchers at PNNL are developing a better model of the soil, better representing the atmosphere, and identifying sources of record high rainfall within a model of the Earth system.
In an invited review article, PNNL researchers examined the literature surrounding modeling and measuring the ice-nucleating particles that help form clouds.
Investigating cloud condensation nuclei activities in various airmasses enabled linking activity variations with organic oxidation levels and volatility
