Land Heterogeneity and Conversion Cost Impact Projections of Future Agriculture
Hybrid land use model incorporates key factors to understanding agriculture’s potential response to climate change.
Aging Alters Mixing Behavior of Organic Aerosol
Experiments show fresh organic aerosol readily mix and mingle but remain separated as they age; results inform model assumptions about particle growth.
How Floods Start and Their Recent Trends
Floodplain inundation simulations shed light on flood generation mechanisms and the increasing role of extreme rainfall.
Irrigation Alters Water Recycling Across the United States
Regional climate models reveal irrigation’s role in an intensified hydrologic cycle.
Resolving Convective Circulations Improves Larger Storm Complex Prediction
Biased vertical transport by storms may negatively impact regional weather and climate prediction.
Enhancing the Community Terrestrial System Model to Grow Perennial Bioenergy Crops
Miscanthus and switchgrass are promising alternatives to traditional annual crops.
The Sweet Spot for Cooling the Earth’s Climate
A new study provides insights on the location of forcing that yields the optimal cooling effect.
Diffusion in Large Organic Aerosols Influences Growth of Ultrafine Atmospheric Particles
New research improves chemical understanding of how ultrafine atmospheric particles grow into climatically active sizes.
Learning Convective and Stratiform Cloud Interactions from Years of Observations
Machine learning applied to model cloud-cloud interactions traditionally absent in global climate models.
Coupled Models Improve East Asian Monsoon Precipitation Simulation via Bias Compensation
Atmosphere model errors in this region originate from their own limitations rather than lack of air–sea coupling.
