Stronger Sea Surface Cooling Produced by Hurricanes along the U.S. Southeast Coast
To gain a mechanistic understanding of the physical processes responsible for the enhanced hurricane cold wakes near the Southeast United States, investigators used ocean reanalysis datasets.
Climate Change Will Increase Coastal Tropical Cyclone Intensification Rates Globally
Researchers use observations and numerical models to examine changes in tropical cyclone intensification rates and their environment in global coastal regions
Study Highlights New Advancements to Simulate Multiscale Coastal Processes
Researchers develop comprehensive framework for the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, incorporating advanced river and ocean models that improve how such interactions are simulated
AI Teaches Itself to Identify Clouds
Researchers demonstrate an AI that can be taught to recognize cloud types by looking at millions of satellite images of clouds without requiring human input.
Marine Bacteria Reprograms Its Metabolism After Viral Infection, Amid Nutrient Limitations
Researchers use systems biology approach to understanding viral-infected bacteria in a marine environment.
Agricultural Soils Are Efficient Ice Nucleating Particles in the Southern Great Plains
Researchers measured ice nucleating particles composition at the Southern Great Plains atmospheric observatory, enabling them to identify sources of particles that make them effective ice nucleators.
No “One Ring to Rule Them All”: Different Microbial Traits Influence Soil Carbon Accrual from Living Versus Dead Roots
A multi-institutional team of researchers conducted a 13C-labeling greenhouse study using a semi-arid grassland soil, where they tracked the fate of 13C-labeled inputs from living roots and decaying roots from annual grass Avena barbata.
Climate Model Approximations of Aerosol Sizes Lead to Inaccurate Cloud Droplet Nucleation
Researchers developed a framework for representing aerosol particles in climate models.
Slab Ocean Model Shows Benefits Assessing Ocean Temperature Changes
Researchers evaluate a new slab ocean capability in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) version 2 by comparing its climate simulation to that of the full version of E3SM that uses a dynamic ocean model.
Water: Finding the Normal within the Weird
Water is unlike other substances because its solid form — like this iceberg — is less dense than its liquid form — like this ocean. Scientists are studying other weird properties of water.
