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.

This interview is one of the first in OAR’s 2023 Women’s History Month Campaign, highlighting accomplished women at NOAA working on climate resilience.

This article kicks off a series of interviews with NOAA Climate Program Office (CPO) employees and CPO-funded scientists in celebration of Women’s History Month.

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.
