Interannual variations in the flux of carbon dioxide (CO2) between the land surface and the atmosphere are the dominant component of interannual variations in the atmospheric CO2 growth rate.
This paper investigates interannual variability of the tropical Indian Ocean (IO) upwelling through analyzing satellite and in situ observations from 1993 to 2016 using the conventional Static Linear Regression Model (SLM) and Bayesian Dynamical Linear Model (DLM), and performing experiments using a linear ocean model.
Remotely sensed surface spectral reflectance is used in many scientific disciplines including geology, forestry, water studies and urban studies (Davis et al., 2002; Rencz and Ryerson, 1999)
Teaching climate change is complex because it requires a system-level understanding of many science disciplines and also because students may have preconceptions about climate change.
Kris Karnauskas, a professor of ocean sciences at the University of Colorado, has started walking around campus with a pocket-size carbon-dioxide detector. He’s not doing it to measure the amount of carbon pollution in the atmosphere. He’s interested in the amount of CO₂ in each room.
New time-lapse videos of Earth’s glaciers and ice sheets as seen from space—some spanning nearly 50 years—are providing scientists with new insights into how the planet’s frozen regions are changing.
A nuclear war between India and Pakistan could, over the span of less than a week, kill 50-125 million people—more than the death toll during all six years of World War II, according to new research.
Congratulations to ATOC Graduate Student Nicola Bodini who received the best student presentation award last week at the 35th International Conference on Alpine Meteorology.
CIRES research scientist Gijs de Boer is collaborating with John Cassano of the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and CU Boulder aerospace engineering professors Dale Lawrence and Brian Argrow to fly drones to collect data on near surface conditions.
