Hybrid climate modeling has emerged as an effective way to reduce the computational costs associated with cloud-resolving models while retaining their accuracy. The approach retains physics-based ...

Models, by definition, are approximations: useful, informative, and inevitably incomplete, because they are the only way to simplify a world too complex to grasp all at once. A new study on nitrous ...

During a La Niña, a counterpart to the El Niño weather pattern, drier than normal conditions are to be expected. But 2023, a La Niña year, turned out to be California’s 10th-wettest year on record.

Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow corridors of concentrated water vapor in the atmosphere that transport vast amounts of moisture from the tropics toward mid-latitude and polar regions. These ...
