A Comprehensive Calibration Procedure for Earth System Model Water Cycle
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.
Natural Gas Trade in a Global Multi-Sectoral Model
Researchers developed a natural gas trade infrastructure capability within a computer planning model that includes representations of energy, agriculture and land use, economy, water, and climate systems in 32 regions of the world.
Biomass Burning Gases React Within Clouds, Forming Secondary Organic Aerosols
Researchers devised a quantitative and predictive understanding of the cloud chemistry of biomass-burning organic gases helping increase the understanding of wildfires.
Researchers Develop Groundbreaking Synthetic Database of Tropical Cyclone Events
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.
Wildfire Typing Improves Wildfire Predictions in the Western United States
Clustering wildfires into four types based on their land-atmosphere drivers can potentially improve regional wildfire predictions.
Snow Droughts are not Solely Driven by Abnormal Snowfall and Temperature
Decreased snow cover observed over the past few decades and projected for the future suggest increasing snow droughts that threaten water security and management.
