How Model Simplifications Affect the Simulated Water Cycle
Relaxing the simplifying assumptions in model energy budgets can affect their simulated regional water cycles.
Atmosphere Outpaces Ocean in Driving Extreme Winter Weather on U.S. West Coast
Researchers found sea surface temperature accounts for only 20 percent of extreme precipitation variability along the U.S. West Coast.
Susannah Burrows Honored with Brodzinski Early Career Exceptional Achievement Award
Burrows was recognized for her leadership in advancing understanding connections between biological systems on land and ocean and their chemistry, and physical climate processes in the atmosphere.
Understanding How Algorithms for Simulating Water Transport in Plants Affect Vegetation Modeling
Evaluating the accuracy of predicted plant aboveground biomass with different numerical solution options in a model of water transport in plants.
Understanding How Gas-Phase Reaction Conditions Affect Organic Aerosol Formation
Secondary organic aerosol formation from monoterpenes is more strongly influenced by oxidant and monoterpene structure than by nitric oxides and hydroperoxy radical concentrations.
Enhancing Modeled Capacity Expansion Pathways with Improved Power-Sector Dynamics
Better representing electric capacity markets, economic retirements, and power-plant age structure provides a more robust understanding of the future evolution of the electric sector.
