Testing the efficacy of atmospheric boundary layer height detection algorithms using uncrewed aircraft system data from MOSAiC

Aug. 4, 2022

During the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition, meteorological conditions over the lowest 1 km of the atmosphere were sampled with the DataHawk2 (DH2) fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft system (UAS).

Alternate Histories: Synthetic Large Ensembles of Sea-Air CO2 Flux

June 2, 2022

We use a statistical emulation technique to construct synthetic ensembles of global and regional sea-air carbon dioxide (CO2) flux from four observation-based products over 1985–2014.

Twenty-first century hydroclimate: A continually changing baseline, with more frequent extremes

April 4, 2022

Variability in hydroclimate impacts natural and human systems worldwide. In particular, both decadal variability and extreme precipitation events have substantial effects and are anticipated to be strongly influenced by climate change.

Less surface sea ice melt in the CESM2 improves Arctic sea ice simulation with minimal non-polar climate impacts

April 4, 2022

This study isolates the influence of sea ice mean state on pre-industrial climate and transient 1850-2100 climate change within a fully coupled global model: The Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2).
