When wildfires burn in the west, the heat and airborne particles they release inflict stronger rain and larger hail upon central states.

Evaluating the relative roles of soil water stress and vapor pressure deficit at limiting canopy conductance in coupled land-atmosphere simulations.

The world's current climate pledges won't limit global warming to 1.5 °C. We will overshoot. A new study shows that more ambitious climate pledges could minimize the overshoot.

Understanding why the westerly jets shift poleward in certain seasons and regions but equatorward in others under global warming.

PNNL joint appointee Auroop Ganguly uses data science to study the impacts of climate change.

Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.

A new study shows for the first time that wildfires burning in West Coast states can, despite great distance, strengthen storms in downwind states.

Climate change sets the stage for hurricanes to rapidly intensify faster, bringing wetter storms to the U.S. Atlantic Coast and other coastlines.

Across the United States, water moving between the river and riverbed sediments does not overcome localized processes that govern organic matter chemistry.

Two case studies of clouds evolving over the Arctic provide data that will help researchers evaluate cloud simulations.

Evaluating the accuracy of predicted plant aboveground biomass with different numerical solution options in a model of water transport in plants.

How hailstorms respond to human-created warming in the Great Plains depends on large-scale weather-producing systems.

The presence of mMarine microorganisms may enhance cloud droplet formation, leading to brighter clouds that reflect more sunlight.

Observational evidence shows that clouds strongly influence the seasonal heat exchange between Southern Ocean air and sea.

Both the type and composition of landforms affect atmospheric properties and clouds in a state-of-the-art Earth system model.

PNNL’s Ján Drgoňa and Draguna Vrabie are part of an international team that authored a most-cited paper on Model Predictive Control, an approach for improving operations, energy efficiency, and comfort in buildings.

Jiwen Fan honored for improving fundamental atmospheric science and modeling capabilities by being named a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society.

Research organizations work toward compelling market-ready solutions for building operations.

We are pleased to welcome 20 new joint appointees to PNNL.

Teams at PNNL welcomed their first two interns this summer from the competition-based program.
