Understanding Biases in Simulated Cloud Radiative Effects in E3SMv3
Abstract This study systematically investigates biases in cloud radiative effects (CREs) within the recently released Energy Exascale Earth System Model version 3 (E3SMv3). Compared to its previous version (E3SMv2), E3SMv3 shows excessively strong shortwave CRE over tropical and subtropical oceans, the Southern Ocean, and the Northern Hemisphere storm ...

Characterizing Tropical Cyclones in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model Version 1
In this study, we analyze the realism with which tropical cyclones (TCs) are simulated in the fully coupled low‐ and high‐resolution Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) version 1, with a focus on the latter.

Declines in Conifer Forest Recovery and Forest Loss From Four Decades of Wildfire in California
Abstract California's forests are increasingly being exposed to intense wildfires. Past research has tracked wildfires' impact on these natural lands, yet there remains a critical gap in tracking post‐fire vegetation recovery and its trends, particularly for the extent of different forest types.

The DOE E3SM version 2.1: overview and assessment of the impacts of parameterized ocean submesoscales [PDF]
The U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) version 2.1 builds on E3SMv2 with several changes, with the most notable being the addition of the Fox-Kemper et al. (2011) mixed-layer eddy parameterization. This parameterization

Anticipating how rain-on-snow events will change through the 21st century: lessons from the 1997 new year’s flood event [PDF]
The California-Nevada 1997 New Year’s flood was an atmospheric river (AR)-driven rain-on-snow (RoS) event and remains the costliest in their history. The joint occurrence of saturated soils, rainfall, and snowmelt generated inundation throughout northern

Calibrating Tropical Forest Coexistence in Ecosystem Demography Models Using Multi-Objective Optimization Through Population-Based Parallel Surrogate Search [PDF]
Tropical forest diversity governs forest structures, compositions, and influences the ecosystem response to environmental changes. Better representation of forest diversity in ecosystem demography (ED) models within Earth system models is thus necessary ...

Influence of Eastern Pacific Hurricanes on the Southwest US Wildfire Environment
While some previous studies examined the contribution of Eastern Pacific (EP) hurricanes toward precipitation in the arid Southwest US (SWUS), their potential to influence wildfires in that region has not been explored.

Mid-century climate change impacts on tornado-producing tropical cyclones [PDF]
Tornadoes are a co-occurring extreme that can be produced by landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs). These tornadoes can exacerbate the loss of life and property damage caused by the TC from which they were spawned.
