THIS may be described as a French Student's notebook of foreign memoirs upon the general circulation of the atmosphere. It contains papers upon the subject, partly translated in full, partly in ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Atmospheric measurements made at Earth’s geographic poles provide a convenient way of validating and calibrating global circulation models. Such measurements also might provide some ...

An international team of scientists found that volcanic eruptions can cause the Pacific Walker Circulation to temporarily weaken, inducing El Niño-like conditions. The results provide important ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...

ON May 18 a meeting of the Royal Meteorological Society was held to discuss the problem of the changing pattern of lergescale flow in the atmosphere, usually known as the ‘geberak circulation'. In ...

The Pacific Ocean covers 32% of Earth’s surface area, more than all the land combined. Unsurprisingly, its activity affects conditions around the globe. Periodic variations in the ocean’s water ...
