A new airborne laser-induced fluorescence instrument for in situ detection of formaldehyde throughout the troposphere and lower stratosphere [PDF]
The NASA In Situ Airborne Formaldehyde (ISAF) instrument is a high-performance laser-based detector for gas-phase formaldehyde (HCHO). ISAF uses rotational-state specific laser excitation at 353 nm for laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection of HCHO ...

Observationally constrained projection of Afro-Asian monsoon precipitation
A new study shows the latest climate models tend to overestimate future Afro-Asian monsoon rainfall and runoff due to present-day biases of warming patterns. By constraining biases, the rainfall increase is 70% of the raw projection.

Increased impact of heat domes on 2021-like heat extremes in North America under global warming
The heat dome explains about 55% of the 2021 Western North American high temperatures. The intensity of heat extremes associated with such circulations are increasing faster than background global warming due to soil moisture feedbacks.

Changes in the aerosol direct radiative forcing from 2001 to 2015: observational constraints and regional mechanisms [PDF]
We present estimates of changes in the direct aerosol effects (DRE) and its anthropogenic component (DRF) from 2001 to 2015 using the GFDL chemistry–climate model AM3 driven by CMIP6 historical emissions.

North American extreme precipitation events and related large-scale meteorological patterns: a review of statistical methods, dynamics, modeling, and trends [PDF]
This paper surveys the current state of knowledge regarding large-scale meteorological patterns (LSMPs) associated with short-duration (less than 1 week) extreme precipitation events over North America. In contrast to teleconnections, which are typically

A climatological analysis of high-precipitation events in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, and associated large-scale atmospheric conditions [PDF]
The link between high precipitation in Dronning Maud Land (DML), Antarctica, and the large-scale atmospheric circulation is investigated using ERA-Interim data for 1979–2009. High-precipitation events are analyzed at Halvfarryggen situated in the coastal

Coupling of the CAS‐LSM Land‐Surface Model With the CAS‐FGOALS‐g3 Climate System Model
The land‐surface model of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS‐LSM), which includes lateral flow, water use, nitrogen discharge and river transport, soil freeze‐thaw front dynamics, and urban planning, was implemented in the Flexible Global Ocean ...
