A high-resolution dataset captures a more complete view of the global distribution and characteristics of strong storms called mesoscale convective systems.

Rising greenhouse gases and declining aerosols have triggered an approximate four-day delay in rainfall over tropical land and the Sahel.

A research project that brings together mathematicians and atmospheric scientists has developed into a deep collaboration for improving atmospheric models.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm virtually visits PNNL, one of several national lab visits she is conducting.

Easy-to-use web-based version of the “hector” global climate model emulator now available for researchers and Earth science educators.

Vigorous and rapid air exchanges might not always be a good thing when it comes to levels of coronavirus particles in a multiroom building, according to a new modeling study.

Study says planners need to account for climate impacts on renewable energy during capacity development planning to fully understand investment implications to the power sector.

Understanding the Earth as a complex, dynamic system includes investigating what happens on, above and below its surface.

A new study projects that electricity demand tied to cooling U.S. buildings will grow as peak temperatures rise, and so too would the need for an expanded power sector.

Night shift work disrupts the natural 24-hour rhythms in the activity of certain cancer-related genes, making workers more vulnerable to damage to their DNA.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, PNNL is offering support to its neighbors in the Mid-Columbia region and across Washington State.

Methane emissions from coal mines are likely higher than previously calculated, largely due to emissions from abandoned mines.

E-cigarette exposure stresses and inflames the lungs of rats, compromising important quality control proteins, according to new research.

In a first-of-its-kind study, PNNL scientists are learning about how e-cigarettes can lead to changes in proteins at the molecular level that could contribute to disease or other health problems.

Urban landscapes and anthropogenic aerosols have the potential to make gusts stronger, hail larger and even steer storms toward cities.

California and other areas of the U.S. Southwest may see less future winter precipitation than previously projected by climate models, according to new research that corrects for a long-standing model error: the double-ITCZ bias.

Summer internship opportunity at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory leads to new 3-D visualizations of cloud formation.

The effects of too much CO2 can cause clouds covering the oceans to dissipate and be unable to reform.

PNNL researchers investigate the environmental conditions, from soil moisture to surface temperature, that lead to wildfire.

Researchers created an open database to centralize measurements of gas exchange between the soil and the atmosphere.
