Researchers at PNNL and the University of Washington examined storms seen by the GPM satellite and found that deep convective storms have been occurring surprisingly frequently at high latitudes during the warm seasons of recent years.

Researchers quantified temperature and gas-cycle responses over time of five simple climate models to impulses of carbon dioxide, methane, and black carbon.

PNNL scientists Larry Berg, Susannah Burrows, Nicholas Ward, and Yun Qian were named among the most outstanding journal reviewers by the American Geophysical Union.

Researchers investigated aerosol impacts on mesoscale convective systems forming under different wind shear conditions.

Two PNNL researchers have been elected to Washington State Academy of Sciences. Two others PNNL scientists join the academy board of directors.

Researchers analyzed the relationship between Earth’s climate sensitivity and historical/future sea level projections, with a particular focus on the high‐impact upper tail.

Their consistency and predictability makes tidal energy attractive, not only as a source of electricity but, potentially, as a mechanism to provide reliability and resilience to regional or local power grids.

A team of researchers discovered more about how sea ice in the Southern Ocean might regulate changes in the amount and location of Antarctic precipitation.

Lenaïg Hemery, a marine energy specialist with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has been appointed to the position of topic editor for the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering.

Research buoys managed by PNNL underwent a $1.3-million upgrade that included more powerful lidar that reaches heights of today’s taller wind turbines.

On World Oceans Day, an international team of marine scientists reports that the potential impact of marine renewable energy to marine life is likely small or undetectable, though some uncertainty remains.

Soil respiration—the flow of CO2 from the soil surface to the atmosphere—is one of the largest carbon fluxes in the terrestrial biosphere.

In a recent review article, an interdisciplinary team of researchers led by PNNL biogeochemist Nick Ward proposed a path to refining the representation of coastal interfaces in Earth systems models used to predict climate.

New analysis indicates that emissions from abandoned mines will contribute to higher emissions than previously thought.

Early achievement of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in California brings much larger health benefits than economic cost.

Nighttime interaction between Bay Area pollution and biogenic isoprene led to efficient formation of secondary organic aerosols.

Agent-based models of water resource management can include the interaction between human-engineered systems and natural processes

A new procedure for estimating sunlight reflection provides insight into feedbacks that affect Arctic warming.

Tower, aircraft, and satellite observations combined to evaluate weather forecast model.

With the help of a diagnostic tool called the Salish Sea Model, researchers found that toxic contaminant hotspots in the Puget Sound are tied to localized lack of water circulation and cumulative effects from multiple sources.
