Researchers will explore climate, pathogens and energy-efficient microelectronics using 3 million node hours on the nation’s supercomputers.

Researchers developed a framework for representing aerosol particles in climate models.

Researchers measured ice nucleating particles composition at the Southern Great Plains atmospheric observatory, enabling them to identify sources of particles that make them effective ice nucleators.

Researchers demonstrate an AI that can be taught to recognize cloud types by looking at millions of satellite images of clouds without requiring human input.

A recent study suggests a higher global mean precipitation increase and narrows the uncertainty range.

Researchers find ultrafine particles abundant in smoke from Amazon forests fire may intensify storm clouds and heavy rain.

Using a refined Earth system model, researchers found that wetlands over North America will be significantly affected by climate change under future scenarios

Researchers use dataset combining observational data with advanced numerical simulations to investigate the characteristics, drivers, and trends of extreme heat events in the High Arctic over past four decades

Researchers develop framework that tracks the aerosol–cloud interactions along the trajectories of air parcels and embed framework into Weather Research Forecast model.

Study develops high-resolution land surface data for 2001 to 2020, including parameters of land use, vegetation, soil, and topography and demonstrated its use in k-scale simulation using the Energy Exascale Earth System Model.

Researchers provide clear evidence to show that the fourfold Arctic Amplification over recent decades is an anomaly caused by dominant modes of natural variability.

Researchers show how satellite observations from the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer and CloudSat radar can be used to constrain the ACI radiative forcing that is linked to droplet collection in marine liquid clouds.

Once thought to cover too little of the Earth’s surface to affect climate at larger scales, new work finds that city sprawl does add to global warming—over land, at least.

Researchers synthesize molecular-level laboratory experiments to develop comprehensive model representations of new particle formation and the chemical transformation of precursor gases.

Researchers introduce revised emission treatment that conserves mass and preserves the original heterogeneity.

Researchers show application of a causal model better identifies direct and indirect causal relations compared to correlation and random forest analyses performed over the same dataset.

Researchers are leveraging the ocean’s natural processes to advance approaches to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in the ocean.

Policy changes in power, energy, buildings, and more could help slow global temperature rise, according to a new report with co-authors from PNNL’s Joint Global Change Research Institute.

A new study suggests accessing groundwater in key regions could become prohibitively expensive as lower-cost stores are used up.

Five PNNL scientists participated in an invitation-only Department of Energy-sponsored workshop on coastal systems.
