  • Aerosol Measurement Science Group Charter Now Available

    Allison McComiskey, Science Co-ChairThe Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility has established a charter for a new Aerosol Measurement Science Group (AMSG). Tasked with providing enhanced coordination of ARM Facility observations of aerosols and atmospheric trace gases with the needs of its users, the group’s main objective is to ensure advanced, well-characterized measurements and…

  • Megasites Accept Mega Challenge: New Directions Take Formation in First Workshop

    With the growing interest in high-resolution model simulations, the Department of Energy Climate Environmental Sciences Division is hosting a series of workshops to focus on key scientific needs, gaps, and priorities in process model understanding and climate model prediction through the strategic deployment and operation of routine high-resolution modeling at the future “megasites” at the…

  • Testbed Workshop to Improve Climate Models

    A primary goal of DOE’s Earth and Environmental Systems Sciences Division (EESSD) is to expand the predictive ability of regional and global climate models (GCMs). As climate models are developed, testbeds are one set of tools used to understand, evaluate, and identify areas of improvement. A recently completed report summarizes the results of a DOE…

  • Workshop Identifies Critical Climate Science Challenges

    This DOE report summarizes a two-and-a-half day workshop held between U.S. and European collaborators to review outstanding climate change science questions related to clouds, aerosols and precipitation, and the observational strategies for addressing them. Clouds and aerosols remain as major sources of uncertainty in computer models of Earth systems. In large part, this uncertainty is…
