This study examines the roles of the semi-annual variation of solar radiation and soil moisture on the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) propagation across the Maritime Continent islands.
PNNL engineer Srinivas Katipamula was recognized by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy with a 2020 Champion of Energy Efficiency Award.
University of Maryland, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and PNNL scientists explored how radiation-cloud-convection-circulation interactions (RC3I) affect the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and circulation at the global scale.
A study by researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory demonstrates an objective test method for assessing the correctness of reduced‐precision calculations.
A study led by scientists at PNNL points to a new frontier for understanding the coupled climate system from the perspective of a nonlinear dynamical system.
By quantifying the contribution of snowpack to runoff and extreme flooding in mountainous regions in the western United States, PNNL researchers provided a unified view of the interactions between snowpack and precipitation.
This study demonstrates the statistical uncertainty in estimating a threshold from small datasets is sufficient to compromise many types of drought analysis.
This research provides the first set of national-scale estimates of the contribution inflow forecasts make on the seasonally varying release and storage operations of a large sample of dams.
PNNL has added to its expanding list of universities and nonprofit research institutions through joint appointments by adding North Carolina State University (NCSU) to the portfolio.
To study the impact of accelerated dryland expansion and degradation on global dryland gross primary production (GPP,) PNNL and Washington State University researchers assessed GPP data from 2000-2014 and the CMIP5 aridity index (AI).
Radiation from natural sources in the environment can limit the performance of superconducting quantum bits, known as qubits. The discovery has implications for quantum computing and for the search for dark matter.
A cadre of physical scientists, engineers and computing experts at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is poised to participate in the launch of three new DOE Office of Science-sponsored quantum information science research centers.
The National Nuclear Security Administration Graduate Fellowship Program has welcomed aboard the Class of 2020—53 graduate students placed (virtually for now) with offices across the nuclear security enterprise.
Contributions from researchers across Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) were recently recognized in the preliminary findings of a Secretary of Energy Advisory Board (SEAB) report.
Scientists at PNNL have contributed much of the nuclear science that underlies an international monitoring system designed to detect nuclear explosions worldwide. The system detects radioxenon anywhere on the planet.
With this year's COVID-19 restrictions, teleworking has created opportunities for scientists, interns, and students alike to continue researching while uncovering new relationships along the way.
