Wildfires Disrupt the Atmospheric Nitrogen Cycle in Ecosystems

CISESS Consortium Scientists Patrick Campbell, Daniel Tong, Youhua Tang (GMU) and coauthors discuss multi-decadal fire activity and how it influences changes in reactive nitrogen emissions across the contiguous United States in their paper recently published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.

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.

Proactive Quality Control

CICS-MD Scientist Daisuke Hotta and Eugenia Kalnay have made a major breakthrough in quality control using the the Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter. The use of Ensemble Forecast Sensitivity to Observations (EFSO) on the GFS model is able to identify flawed observations in MODIS high latitude winds after only 6 hours.
