Scientists use water vapor tracers incorporated in a climate model to tag moisture from local evapotranspiration and trace their evolution through different processes.
Researchers evaluate a new slab ocean capability in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) version 2 by comparing its climate simulation to that of the full version of E3SM that uses a dynamic ocean model.
Aerosol particles imbue climate models with uncertainty. New work by PNNL researchers reveals where in the world and under what conditions new particles are born.
Accessing groundwater may become more difficult—and more expensive—as groundwater supplies become increasingly scarce and underground aquifer levels fall.
A compilation of soil viral genomes provides a comprehensive description of the soil virosphere, its potential to impact global biogeochemistry, and an open database for future investigations of soil viral ecology.
A multi-institutional team of researchers conducted a 13C-labeling greenhouse study using a semi-arid grassland soil, where they tracked the fate of 13C-labeled inputs from living roots and decaying roots from annual grass Avena barbata.
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.
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.
The study found that the way a fire burns (in open air versus in an oven in a controlled lab setting) can greatly change the leftover materials (char or charcoal) and how they interact in the environment.
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.
A team of researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory developed a new and flexible software tool called “Advanced Spectra PCA Toolbox.”
