While
ozone is beneficial high in the stratosphere, this compound is a health
hazard when found lower in the atmosphere. Researchers from NCAR and their
colleagues are learning how, where, and why ground-level ozone forms.
Read on to learn more about their research
efforts.
Storms Roaring
Through the Night
Discover
the science behind monstrous storms called Mesoscale Convective Systems,
which torment the Midwest U.S. during warm spring and summer months. Components
of these storms are the topics of study for a field program lead by NCAR
scientists during the summer of 2003. Read
on to learn more about these storms and how they are studied.
Discovering
How the North Atlantic Oscillation Drives Climate Change
NCAR
scientist James Hurrell and his colleagues are seeking to understand climate
change in the North Atlantic region. Using computer models, they identify
the driving forces behind the North Atlantic Oscillation (or NAO), a pivotal
force affecting the climate of the Eastern United States, Europe, the
Middle East and Northern Africa. Read on
to learn more about how the NAO affects climate.
