New research tackles the uncertainty in the latest generation of global climate models' (CMIP6) projections of the first ice-free Arctic summer.
Better representation of mountain range heights could help reduce biases in how global climate models simulate important atmospheric and climate processes.
A recent study bridges observations and modeling, and shows a way to make improvements to the observational instruments climate scientists rely on to study global circulation patterns.
Americans’ health, security and economic wellbeing are tied to climate and weather. Every day, we see communities grappling with environmental challenges due to unusual or extreme events related to climate and weather.
