Amplitude scaling in seismic inversion
Modeling & PredictionSeismic Inversion: Why Getting the Amplitudes Right Matters (A Lot) So, you’re diving into seismic inversion, huh? It’s a powerful technique – basically, we’re turning those wiggly seismic lines into a detailed picture of what’s happening underground. Think of it as translating seismic data into a language geoscientists can really understand, revealing rock properties like

Vertical Distribution of Outgoing Longwave Radiation in the Earth’s Atmosphere
Modeling & PredictionThe Invisible Ascent: Understanding How Earth Breathes Out Heat Think of Earth’s climate as a giant, delicate balancing act. We’re constantly absorbing energy from the sun, but we’re also constantly shedding it back into space as outgoing longwave radiation (OLR). You can think of OLR as the Earth “breathing out” heat. It’s how our planet

Why has the average low for the hottest months in Clearwater Florida about 5 degrees higher than the historical average?
Modeling & PredictionClearwater Heats Up: Why Are Summer Nights Getting Seriously Warmer? Okay, Clearwater, let’s talk. Have you noticed it’s not just the days that are scorching lately? Those summer nights? Whew! They’re stickier, sweatier, and just plain hotter than they used to be. We’re not just imagining things. The average low temperatures in July and August

Optimizing Tropical Cyclone Simulations through Frequent Radiation Parametrization Updates
Modeling & PredictionImportance of Radiation Parameterization Update Frequency in Tropical Cyclone Simulation Accurately simulating the behavior of tropical cyclones (TCs) is critical to understanding and predicting their impacts, which can be devastating to coastal communities. A key aspect of TC modeling is the representation of radiative processes, which play an important role in the thermodynamics and structural

Is evapotransporation accounted for in climate models?
Modeling & PredictionThe Role of Evapotranspiration in Climate Models Evapotranspiration, the combined process of evaporation from the Earth’s surface and transpiration from vegetation, plays a critical role in the global water and energy cycles. As such, accurate accounting of evapotranspiration in climate models is essential for understanding and predicting Earth’s complex climate system. In this article, we
