Researchers introduced a simulated carbon cycle to the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, broadening its utility and enabling new research directions.
Differences in the rainfall intensity of mesoscale convective systems and other types of warm—season rainfall in the central United States lead to differences in their impacts over land.
PNNL researchers used the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM) to explore 15 different global scenarios that consisted of combinations of five different socioeconomic futures and four different climatic futures.
A team of researchers led by scientists from PNNL simulated carbon cycling and community composition during 100 years of forest regrowth following disturbance.
This study examines the roles of the semi-annual variation of solar radiation and soil moisture on the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) propagation across the Maritime Continent islands.
University of Maryland, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and PNNL scientists explored how radiation-cloud-convection-circulation interactions (RC3I) affect the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and circulation at the global scale.
A study led by scientists at PNNL points to a new frontier for understanding the coupled climate system from the perspective of a nonlinear dynamical system.
By quantifying the contribution of snowpack to runoff and extreme flooding in mountainous regions in the western United States, PNNL researchers provided a unified view of the interactions between snowpack and precipitation.
