From energy storage to cybersecurity, this 2023 wrap-up offers a glimpse of PNNL innovations with a seasonal twist.

PNNL research unlocks key findings needed for potential commercial deployment of carbon mineralization technology.

PNNL had a significant presence at October’s North American Wind Energy Academy/WindTech 2023 Conference in Denver, Colorado. Thirteen PNNL wind experts participated in various capacities.

As electricity grids incorporate renewables, several factors will constrain future output, according to a new paper.

If current warming trends continue, heat waves like Washington's deadliest could grow stronger and afflict the Pacific Northwest more often.

More than a dozen PNNL scientists have been named among the world’s most influential researchers on Clarivate’s 2023 Highly Cited Researchers List.

Researchers use models to represent relationships between climate and socio-economic processes, helping inform decisions for slowing climate change and enhancing resilience.

Investigating the impact of global warming on mesoscale convective systems initiation and growth with a theoretical model.

Understanding the contrasting response in relative humidity at ocean and land surfaces under global warming.

The cross-equatorial surge enhances the southward development of the Madden–Julian oscillation because of increased moisture convergence.

The roles of the various environmental variables in the transition from suppressed to active tropical precipitation regimes are characterized using statistical analysis and machine learning.

This study revealed that fresh organic vapors are soluble in particulate organics that are actively growing in size. However, if the particulate matter ages, fresh organic vapors can no longer mix with the organic matter.

Leaders from the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy visited PNNL October 19–20 for a firsthand look at capabilities and research progress.

A new moist potential vorticity model helps researchers understand atmosphere–land moisture exchanges over the United States.

PNNL signs memorandum of understanding with Oregon State University to support marine science and technology advancements.

Metabolism metrics provide information about biological activity and carbon cycling in rivers. Conditions in large rivers differ from smaller rivers and require adjustments to existing methods.

Partitioning measured ice nucleating particle concentrations into individual particle types leads to a better understanding of the sources and model representations of these particles.

A modeling study finds that multiple factors almost perfectly balance under anthropogenic greenhouse gas forcing, leaving no footprint on the dynamically induced ocean heat storage in the Southern Ocean.

Less pollution and the odd shapes of snow grains as they pack together should help cut the decline of snowpack later this century.
