Untangling the Contrasting Recent and Future Changes in the Tropical Rainband
Decadal variations in the tropical ocean warming pattern have previously masked but will later amplify the anthropogenically forced changes in the tropical rainband.
Global Warming Induces Seasonally Dependent Great Plains Low-Level Jet Changes
Researchers attained a new understanding of how and why the Great Plains low-level jet changes under global warming has implications for future weather in the Central U.S.
PNNL Helps Hanford Cleanup
Cleaning up Hanford is no easy task: it is one of the world's largest and most complex environmental remediation projects. The nation's top engineering firms are on the job and the Department of Energy's PNNL is helping.
Berg Selected as Atmospheric Sciences and Global Change Division Director
Earth scientist Larry Berg selected as the division director for the Atmospheric Sciences and Global Change Division.
The Latest 21st Century Projections of Temperature and Precipitation Changes
Research provides overview of the consequences of a new set of future scenarios based on Earth system model simulations.
Better Representing Turbulence Improves Soil Particle Simulation
By improving the detail in representations of turbulence, researchers can more accurately simulate agricultural soil emissions in the atmosphere.
Salish Sea Model
The Salish Sea Model (SSM) is a predictive coastal ocean model for estuarine research, restoration planning, water-quality management, and climate change response assessment.
A Century of Data Is Not Enough to Establish Reliable Drought Thresholds
This study demonstrates the statistical uncertainty in estimating a threshold from small datasets is sufficient to compromise many types of drought analysis.
Detecting Foresight in the Water Release Decisions of Dams Throughout the U.S.
This research provides the first set of national-scale estimates of the contribution inflow forecasts make on the seasonally varying release and storage operations of a large sample of dams.
Sunny Tropical Islands Contribute to Strengthening of Madden-Julian Oscillation Events
This study examines the roles of the semi-annual variation of solar radiation and soil moisture on the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) propagation across the Maritime Continent islands.
