Sea surface temperatures have less influence on tropical cyclone intensification in the Atlantic than in the Pacific.

Demeter provides a flexible and repeatable methodology to connect models at varying scales to account for land surface changes.

Open-source tool helps connect high-resolution sectoral models and broader integrated human-Earth system models.

Changes in water volume tend to be smaller in managed watersheds but occur earlier.

A new study shows that urban heat island effects and increased urban aerosols can spur intense rainfall.

A new modeling approach shows that the ocean circulation determines the varying rate of global temperature response to carbon dioxide.

Novel modeling experiments show that heating near North Africa leads to drying near North America.

Researchers find surface evaporation drives circulation and summer precipitation in the Tropical West Pacific.

Improving the representation of upper-ocean layers in hurricane forecast models enhances their predictive skill.

Over 100 scientists and engineers from multiple DOE national laboratories and universities, including PNNL, contribute to the creation of a new Earth modeling system—the Energy Exascale Earth System Model.
