The NASA Atmospheric Tomography (ATom) Mission: Imaging the Chemistry of the Global Atmosphere
(2022)This article provides an overview of the NASA Atmospheric Tomography (ATom) mission and a summary of selected scientific findings to date. ATom was an airborne measurements and modeling campaign aimed at characterizing the ... -
CLASI: Coordinating Innovative Observations and Modeling to Improve Coastal Environmental Prediction Systems
(2022)The Coastal Land–Air–Sea Interaction (CLASI) project aims to develop new “coast-aware” atmospheric boundary and surface layer parameterizations that represent the complex land–sea transition region through innovative ... -
The Namib Turbulence Experiment: Investigating Surface–Atmosphere Heat Transfer in Three Dimensions
(2022)The Namib Turbulence Experiment (NamTEX) was a multinational micrometeorological campaign conducted in the central Namib Desert to investigate three-dimensional surface layer turbulence and the spatiotemporal patterns of ... -
The Flash Flood Guidance System Implementation Worldwide: A Successful Multidecadal Research-to-Operations Effort
(2022)At the beginning of the twenty-first century a research-to-operations program was initiated to design and develop operational systems to support local forecasters in their challenging task to provide advance warning for ... -
An Analysis of Virtual Research Experiences for Undergraduates Programs in Light of the COVID-19 Pandemic
(2022)With the continued social distancing requirements of the novel COVID-19 pandemic, many in-person educational programs were halted in 2020, including specialty education and research experiences for undergraduates. However, ... -
A New Benchmark for Surface Radiation Products over the East Asia–Pacific Region Retrieved from the Himawari-8/AHI Next-Generation Geostationary Satellite
(2022)Surface downward radiation (SDR), including shortwave downward radiation (SWDR) and longwave downward radiation (LWDR), is of great importance to energy and climate studies. Considering the lack of reliable SDR data with ... -
High-Definition Hurricanes: Improving Forecasts with Storm-Following Nests
(2022)To forecast tropical cyclone (TC) intensity and structure changes with fidelity, numerical weather prediction models must be “high definition,” i.e., horizontal grid spacing ≤ 3 km, so that they permit clouds and convection ... -
The Integrated Carbon Observation System in Europe
(2022)Since 1750, land-use change and fossil fuel combustion has led to a 46% increase in the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, causing global warming with substantial societal consequences. The Paris Agreement ... -
Urban Heat Island Estimation from Crowdsensing Thermometers Embedded in Personal Cars
(2022)An ever-growing portion of the global population lives in urban areas. Cities are expanding quickly and consequently, the urban heat island effect has become a major health concern to maintain city dwellers’ thermal comfort. ... -
Advancing Near-Real-Time Quality Controls of Meteorological Observations
(2022)Meteorological observations from ground weather stations are of the upmost importance to implement and run sectoral climate services and to perform scientific activities, such as models’ evaluation and data assimilation. ... -
Extreme Precipitation on Consecutive Days Occurs More Often in a Warming Climate
(2022)Extreme precipitation occurring on consecutive days may substantially increase the risk of related impacts, but changes in such events have not been studied at a global scale. Here we use a unique global dataset based on ... -
EM-Earth: The Ensemble Meteorological Dataset for Planet Earth
(2022)Gridded meteorological estimates are essential for many applications. Most existing meteorological datasets are deterministic and have limitations in representing the inherent uncertainties from both the data and methodology ... -
Satellite-Based Characterization of Convection and Impacts from the Catastrophic 10 August 2020 Midwest U.S. Derecho
(2022)The catastrophic derecho that occurred on 10 August 2020 across the midwestern United States caused billions of dollars of damage to both urban and rural infrastructure as well as agricultural crops, most notably across ... -
AERA5-Asia: A Long-Term Asian Precipitation Dataset (0.1°, 1-hourly, 1951–2015, Asia) Anchoring the ERA5-Land under the Total Control by APHRODITE
(2022)Accurate long-term precipitation information is critical for understanding the mechanisms behind how precipitation couples with Earth’s water fluxes, energy balances, and biogeochemical cycles across space–time scales under ... -
WMO Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update: A Prediction for 2021–25
(2022)As climate change accelerates, societies and climate-sensitive socioeconomic sectors cannot continue to rely on the past as a guide to possible future climate hazards. Operational decadal predictions offer the potential ... -
Prequel to the Stories of Warm Conveyor Belts and Atmospheric Rivers: The Moist Tongues Identified by Rossby and His Collaborators in the 1930s
(2022)The model of atmospheric rivers (ARs) has been around since the 1990s. A closely related model is the warm conveyor belt (WCB) developed in the 1970s. Looking further back in time, a phenomenon known as the “moist tongue” ... -
The Humanitarian Sector Needs Clear Job Profiles for Climate Science Translators Now More than Ever
(2022)A new generation of climate science translators (CSTs) is currently evolving, both as independent professionals and affiliated with humanitarian agencies. While people in this role represent an opportunity to foster ... -
Observing, Measuring, and Assessing the Consequences of Snow Drought
(2022)Warmer and shorter winters from climate change will reduce snowpacks in most seasonally snow-covered regions of the world, with consequences for freshwater availability in spring and summer when people and ecosystems demand ...
