New Chemistry for the Unified Forecasting System

CISESS Scientists Kai Yang (AOSC), Zachary Moon and colleagues have created a generalized global configuration to NOAA’s official Unified Forecasting System (UFS) to better simulate the full tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry needed for global air quality applications. The new Configurable ATmospheric Chemistry (CATChem) library and modeling component is described in their paper published in the Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems.

Spider Lightning Flash via Satellite

CICS-MD Scientist Micheal Peterson has created a video that shows a spider lightning flash observed by the Lighting Imaging Sensor (LIS) on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite - a predecessor to GLM. It traces the lateral development of the optical energy of the flash as it evolves along its various branches.
