PNNL researchers have uncovered a plant-derived process that leads to the formation of aerosol particles over the Amazon rainforest and potentially other forested parts of the world.
Combining aircraft measurements and regional modeling allowed researchers to identify the role of in-plant biochemistry in secondary organic aerosol formation.
Recognizing how innovation and clean technologies at the very edge of the grid can work together to transition the electricity system, PNNL takes a multidisciplinary approach to advancing and integrating renewable energy solutions.
Moving toward a deeper understanding of the influence of large marine biogenic particles on cloud ice formation by combining modeling and observational data.
The Triton Initiative highlights different creative science communications, including photography, writing, and science art, and the impact they have on the project's marine energy research.
A new PNNL study quantifies hydropower's contribution to grid stability. When other power sources go out, hydropower can ramp up, recoup shortfalls, and stabilize the grid nearly instantaneously.
The rapid growth of urban nanoparticles via the condensation of organic vapors substantially alters shallow cloud formation and suppresses precipitation.
Two PNNL studies that describe the potential value of offshore wind off the Oregon Coast and distributed wind in Alaska were published in the journal Energies.
