Extreme winter storms are growing wetter and changing shape in the Western United States—such changes could compromise infrastructure designed to withstand only so much water.

Interactive freshwater flux works to prolong density anomalies over deep water formation areas in the North Atlantic.

Abigail Snyder named to international team focused on designing and scoping models for use in large intercomparison project.

The American Geophysical Union will honor Andrew Gettelman at their Fall Meeting as a new Fellow.

Interactions between fronts and the land-sea breeze lead to strong vertical exchange in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Steven Smith joins an international team that will evaluate current data and identify what should be included for future climate modeling.

When wildfires burn in the west, the heat and airborne particles they release inflict stronger rain and larger hail upon central states.

Evaluating the relative roles of soil water stress and vapor pressure deficit at limiting canopy conductance in coupled land-atmosphere simulations.

The world's current climate pledges won't limit global warming to 1.5 °C. We will overshoot. A new study shows that more ambitious climate pledges could minimize the overshoot.

Understanding why the westerly jets shift poleward in certain seasons and regions but equatorward in others under global warming.

Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.

A new study shows for the first time that wildfires burning in West Coast states can, despite great distance, strengthen storms in downwind states.

Climate change sets the stage for hurricanes to rapidly intensify faster, bringing wetter storms to the U.S. Atlantic Coast and other coastlines.

Two case studies of clouds evolving over the Arctic provide data that will help researchers evaluate cloud simulations.

Evaluating the accuracy of predicted plant aboveground biomass with different numerical solution options in a model of water transport in plants.

How hailstorms respond to human-created warming in the Great Plains depends on large-scale weather-producing systems.

The presence of mMarine microorganisms may enhance cloud droplet formation, leading to brighter clouds that reflect more sunlight.

Observational evidence shows that clouds strongly influence the seasonal heat exchange between Southern Ocean air and sea.

Both the type and composition of landforms affect atmospheric properties and clouds in a state-of-the-art Earth system model.

A new testbed facility capable of testing superconducting qubit fidelity in a controlled environment free of stray background radiation will benefit quantum information sciences and the development of quantum computing.
