Generating a Stratocumulus-Like Cloud Top in a Convection-Cloud Chamber
Numerical simulations reveal how well-controlled wall temperature and moisture can generate a stratocumulus-like cloud top in a laboratory cloud chamber.
Machine Learning Improves Compound Flood Simulation in Earth System Models
Physics-informed and data-driven neural network models enhance Earth system models in simulating compound flooding at river-ocean interfaces.
Shared Dissolved Organic Matter Chemistry Across Salt and Freshwater Systems
Differences in dissolved organic matter between rivers and estuaries follow similar patterns across freshwater and saltwater coasts.
Lindsay Olson Residency
Artist Lindsay Olson was selected as PNNL’s Artist-in-Residence to explore hydropower through art, research, and material storytelling. Her project, From Flow to Power: The Art of Hydropower, translates what she learned into textile art.
Mapping Intermittently Dry Headwaters with Drones and Phones
Tests show which low-cost 3D method best matches field measurements to minimize errors in mapping headwaters.
Coastal Floods Impact Soil Pore Structure and Oxygen Flux
Lab experiments show that just a few saltwater pulses can rapidly alter soil pore structure and reduce oxygen flow, stressing tree roots in coastal forest soils.
Storm-Driven Rain Can Fuel Later Rainfall
A new tracer model tracked how May 2015 storm water re-entered the atmosphere and contributed to later rainfall.
