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.

Researchers at PNNL examined heat pump water heater (HPWH) operation in Pacific Northwest residences, gaining insights into HPWH electricity use patterns. Part of the study captured trends during a COVID-19 stay-at-home order.

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.

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.
