Site for a USGS project under the U.S. Global Change Research Program for a national assessment of the impacts of climate variability and change on resources with links to impacts in Alaska, western...
We describe how mathematical isomorphisms between the equations
that govern the evolution of a compressible atmosphere and an
incompressible ocean can be exploited to guide the design of a...
The Aura mission studies the Earth's ozone, air quality, and climate. It is designed exclusively to conduct research on the composition, chemistry, and dynamics of the Earth's atmosphere.

This example experiment demonstrates using the MITgcm to simulate a Barotropic, wind-forced, ocean gyre circulation. The experiment is a numerical rendition of the gyre circulation problem similar to...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) operates a long-term "benchmark" glacier program to monitor climate, glacier geometry, glacier mass balance, glacier motion, and stream runoff. The data collected...
Deforestation and land degradation are responsible for about 20 percent of global carbon emissions,1 and are therefore a growing focus of international climate policy discussion. Scientists have long...
This cloud-watching spacecraft probes the thickness of clouds and aerosols in the Earth?s atmosphere. This information, which the spacecraft has been collecting since its launch in April 2006, is i...
CDIAC's data holdings include records of the concentrations of carbon dioxide and other radiatively active gases in the atmosphere; the role of the terrestrial biosphere and the oceans in the...
