Disentangling the Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions in the North Atlantic
In isolating the processes that drive Atlantic Multidecadal Variability, researchers found that the ocean drove stronger multidecadal variability (greater than 30 years), while the atmosphere drove weaker variability up to interdecadal time
Warmer Climate Brings Stronger Spring Storms to the United States
Simulations show North Pacific and North Atlantic subtropical high-pressure systems develop more during spring than summer under future warming.
2019 INCITE award fosters search for new elements, quantum interactions
PNNL researcher Kenneth Roche part of multi-institutional team awarded 2019 INCITE award
Eroding Gaps in Understanding the Global Carbon Cycle
A new process-based model represents global changes in sediment and particulate organic carbon levels due to soil erosion, an important missing piece in Earth system models.
Measuring the Tropics' Bulging Waistline
In an invited review for Nature Climate Change, scientists found that natural swings internal to the climate system played a larger role than previously thought in the expanding width of the tropics.
