Researchers developed a groundbreaking database that includes 40,000 synthetic tropical cyclones, crafted using the Risk Analysis Framework for Tropical Cyclones and pioneering the application of advanced artificial intelligence.

Streamflow variability plays a crucial role in shaping the dynamics and sustainability of Earth's ecosystems, which can be simulated and projected by ESMs. However, the simulation of streamflow is subject to considerable uncertainties.

In this study, researchers used fire intensity data from satellites to map the distribution of aerosols into the atmosphere during a fire.

Wei Du will lead one of PNNL and Washington State University’s joint institutes.

A new study uses direct numerical simulations to develop a near-surface turbulence model for thermal convection using interpretable and physics-aware neural networks, broadening the applications of numerical simulations.

A new report highlights the results of an assessment PNNL conducted of field-portable detection products used by first responders to detect illicit substances like fentanyl in the field.

Models have identified a new source of anthropogenic emissions driving the observed weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.

A PNNL study developed a water management module for Xanthos that distinguishes between the operational characteristics of hydropower, irrigation, and flood control reservoirs.

Decreased snow cover observed over the past few decades and projected for the future suggest increasing snow droughts that threaten water security and management.

Using regional meteorological data from an atmosphere reanalysis product, scientists identified 12 unique winter weather systems in the Puget Sound area, featuring differing precipitation and temperature responses to climate variabilities.

Reproducible workflows for binning and visualizing nuclear magnetic resonance spectra from environmental samples.

The Emissions Model Intercomparison Project examined how selected emissions-related properties affected results in 11 global chemistry and Earth-system models.

The Earth System Model Aerosol–Cloud Diagnostics package version 2 uses aircraft, ship, ground, and satellite measurements to evaluate detailed physical processes in aerosols, clouds, and aerosol–cloud interactions.

The physics-informed machine learning optimization framework is now PNNL’s most popular open-source repository on GitHub.

PNNL researchers use chemometric analysis to model chemistry in molten salt.

With the help of the U.S. State Department, PNNL climate scientists assisted counterparts in Malaysia and Thailand in exploring carbon neutral goals.

In soil, microbes produce and consume methane. Using a technique called pool dilution, researchers can separate the rate of methane production and consumption from the net rate.

Clustering wildfires into four types based on their land-atmosphere drivers can potentially improve regional wildfire predictions.

The nation is closer to its offshore wind energy goals than ever before, but better wind forecasting is still needed. To address this challenge, PNNL and collaborators are charting a new course with help from novel technology.

PNNL’s Center for the Remediation of Complex Sites convened attendees from around the world to discuss challenges associated with environmental contamination.
