Researchers develop comprehensive framework for the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, incorporating advanced river and ocean models that improve how such interactions are simulated
Researchers use observations and numerical models to examine changes in tropical cyclone intensification rates and their environment in global coastal regions
Scientists develop a water tracer tool in an advanced hydrologic model to understand the importance of modeling lateral flow in hydrologic simulations.
Scientists use water vapor tracers incorporated in a climate model to tag moisture from local evapotranspiration and trace their evolution through different processes.
Researchers evaluate a new slab ocean capability in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) version 2 by comparing its climate simulation to that of the full version of E3SM that uses a dynamic ocean model.
Aerosol particles imbue climate models with uncertainty. New work by PNNL researchers reveals where in the world and under what conditions new particles are born.
Climate change is bringing more extreme summer weather, from heat waves to hurricanes, that can disrupt the flow of electricity. Here’s how PNNL scientists are working on solutions to protect the nation’s electric grid.
Accessing groundwater may become more difficult—and more expensive—as groundwater supplies become increasingly scarce and underground aquifer levels fall.
