Hybrid land use model incorporates key factors to understanding agriculture’s potential response to climate change.

Differences in the rainfall intensity of mesoscale convective systems and other types of warm—season rainfall in the central United States lead to differences in their impacts over land.

Atmospheric rivers that make landfall on the U.S. West Coast show broad increases in size and intensity with warmer local sea surfaces.

Floodplain inundation simulations shed light on flood generation mechanisms and the increasing role of extreme rainfall.

Information extracted from a variety of atmospheric observations can correct the behavior of a model and improve simulated clouds.

In a new video series, PNNL is highlighting six scientific and technical experts in the national security domain throughout the fall. Each was promoted to scientist and engineer level 5 earlier this year.

Aerosol treatments in E3SM affect clouds, heat reflected to space, and Earth’s snow-or-ice-covered surface.

PNNL researchers developed two web-based tools to assess and mitigate cyberthreats to utilities—inside and outside their firewalls. Both are low cost and can be used by control room operators who are not cybersecurity experts.

Researchers created an open database for soil-atmosphere greenhouse gas flux data.

PNNL researchers used the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM) to explore 15 different global scenarios that consisted of combinations of five different socioeconomic futures and four different climatic futures.

PNNL researchers established an Internet of Things Common Operating Environment (IoTCOE) laboratory to explore the risks associated with IoT connectivity to the internet, the energy grid and other critical infrastructures.

New-particle formation driven by natural biogenic emissions produces a large number of small particles in the Amazon free troposphere.

A team of researchers led by scientists from PNNL simulated carbon cycling and community composition during 100 years of forest regrowth following disturbance.

Mesoscale convective systems produce more intense rainfall than warm-season rain in this region.

This study by PNNL researchers provides an alternative explanation for why the Arctic warms more than the Antarctic.

This study examines the roles of the semi-annual variation of solar radiation and soil moisture on the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) propagation across the Maritime Continent islands.

University of Maryland, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and PNNL scientists explored how radiation-cloud-convection-circulation interactions (RC3I) affect the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and circulation at the global scale.

A study led by scientists at PNNL points to a new frontier for understanding the coupled climate system from the perspective of a nonlinear dynamical system.

By quantifying the contribution of snowpack to runoff and extreme flooding in mountainous regions in the western United States, PNNL researchers provided a unified view of the interactions between snowpack and precipitation.
