PNNL’s contributions over the last year span scientific discovery, sustainable energy and national security.

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

A multi-institutional team of wind energy experts led by PNNL assessed the scientific grand challenges for offshore wind and provided recommendations for closing gaps in models.

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.

Multidisciplinary teams from research and industry are brought together using management systems developed by a team of software engineers at PNNL.

Data-driven experiments can help determine best practices for Random Forest machine learning to predict water quality, particularly nitrate levels.

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.

An evaluation of models and prediction tools for distributed wind turbines has unearthed data that can help potential users make the most informed decisions on upfront investments.

PNNL joint appointee Auroop Ganguly uses data science to study the impacts of climate change.

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.

Across the United States, water moving between the river and riverbed sediments does not overcome localized processes that govern organic matter chemistry.

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.
