In the early 1950’s John von Neumann and Jules Charney carried out the first successful numerical weather forecasts at the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton. The United States Weather […]

Most precipitation systems in Korea are highly influenced by the East Asian summer monsoon (Changma) as well as by synoptic scale/mesoscale weather phenomena, and hence have high seasonal variation; they […]

Land surface is the interface between atmosphere and land, which is composed of various soils, vegetations, surface water bodies, snow/ice etc.; thus, it represents various components of the Earth’s environment/climate […]

Numerical prediction of climate/weather/environment is an important tool for adequate policy making in an era of changing climate. It basically requires a coupled modeling system, and its performance can be […]

During recent decades, the Arctic has been warming at a much faster rate than the global average. Interestingly, this accelerated warming in response to greenhouse gas forcing is most pronounced […]

Tropical volcanic eruptions are known to induce a decrease in global monsoon precipitation but there remains a large uncertainty in model simulated responses. Here we show that the inter-simulation differences […]

The Arctic is currently warming at a high rate of change, with an average amplitude twice the global mean.  Are these changes unprecedented in the climate record as we know it? […]
