A new research study supported by COM, CVP, and GOMO, uses Argo data along with a coupled model to investigate the understudied wintertime formation process of water in the Southern Ocean.

A new CVP-funded study presents a new framework to represent climate variability in East Asia.

To improve water management in the mountainous western US, COM-supported research presents a hybrid model approach to improve simulations of western water flow using both traditional and machine learning methods.

A new study funded by CVP finds unexpected long-range links between aerosol particle source, especially smoke, and atmospheric processes including cloud formation and radiative properties.

Nitrogen reacts with oxygen and other chemical compounds to form atmospheric oxides, which significantly impact the chemical composition of our atmosphere, human and environmental health, and broader climate processes. These gases can be produced by a range of natural and anthropogenic sources including fossil fuel combustion and wildfires. The atmospheric chemistry research community has developed new methods to track the emission sources of these gases and their key chemical reactions by analyzing the stable isotopes of nitrogen and oxygen in the gas compounds. However, there is a lack of a well-established method to simultaneously differentiate and quantify the concentration and isotopic composition of multiple groups of nitrogen oxides.
