Fluvial-Coastal Flooding in a Changing Climate
Future global warming-induced changes to watershed and coastal processes can significantly affect the magnitude of fluvial-coastal compound flooding.
Clustered Mesoscale Convective Systems Produce Frequent and Long-Lasting Floods in the Central-Eastern United States
Mesoscale convective systems that are clustered in time and space have broader impacts on flooding than individual systems.
More Frequent Atmospheric Rivers Slow the Seasonal Recovery of Arctic Sea Ice
Atmospheric rivers are increasingly reaching the Arctic in winter, slowing sea ice recovery and accounting for a third of winter sea ice decline from 1979-2021.
Understanding the Impacts of Dust and Sea Salt Mixing States on Nitrate Aerosol
How a model treats gas transfer behavior onto dust and sea salt particles significantly influences nitrate aerosols and their effects on climate.
How Well Do Global Cloud-Resolving Models Simulate Mesoscale Storms?
A comparison between model simulations and high-resolution satellite observations shows discrepancies in projections of convective storms.
Studying Cloud Condensation Nuclei to Close the Gap of Modeled Aerosol Properties
Performing closure studies using aerosol size, aerosol composition, and cloud condensation nuclei measurements of mixed aerosol from the Southern Great Plains region.
Modeling Variations in the Generation of Carbon Dioxide in the Riverbed across the Columbia River Basin
A newly developed basin-scale river corridor model can quantify how riverbed microbes drive respiration and the generation of carbon dioxide in the Columbia River Basin.
Wildfire Burn Severity Drives Short-Term Impacts on Water Chemistry
Variations in burn severity are a key control on the chemical constituents of dissolved organic matter delivered to streams within a single burn perimeter.
Measuring Permafrost Thaw with Streamflow
Information encoded in streamflow reveals how the water-storage capacity of thawed ground changes as permafrost thaws.
Using Topological Relationships in Mesh-Independent River Network Representations
A new model improves the representations of river networks in climate models across scales.
