Xie, S., , K. Keller, G.A. Meehl, and J. Quaas, 2022: Chapter 5. Climate science. In U.S. Scientific Leadership: Addressing Energy, Ecosystems, Climate, and Sustainable Prosperity: Report from the BERAC Subcommittee on International Benchmarking, DOE/SC-0208. M. McCann and P. Reed, Eds., U.S. D.O.E., Biological and Environmental Research Advisory Committee, pp. 63-82, doi:10.2172/1895129.
BER-funded climate science publications are among the most highly cited papers in the field, garnering a higher rate of citations than non-BER publications, particularly for the top 1% and 5% of papers.
BER has demonstrated international leadership in developing and interpreting climate model intercomparisons through the DOE Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) and was a leading contributor to research earning the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.
BER is a world leader in climate change and cloud feedback research through its application of the "fingerprint" method to identify signatures of human influence on climate and its development of innovative techniques to quantify cloud feedbacks and pin down equilibrium climate sensitivity.
BER has advanced exascale computing to become one of the world's leading developers of kilometer-scale Earth system models, such as the convection-permitting Energy Exascale Earth System Model.
BER has successfully developed capabilities in crosscutting energy-related research and coupled human-Earth system models, such as the Global Change Analysis Model.
BER leads internationally in capturing ground-based and aerial atmospheric measurements through its Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility and in advancing physical understanding of atmospheric systems through the associated Atmospheric System Research program.
