WASHINGTON -- Global warming is likely slowing the main Atlantic Ocean circulation, which has plunged to its weakest level on record, according to a new study.The slowdown in the circulation -- a ...

In this week’s Sunday Science Tidbit, let’s explore global circulation patterns. Thanks to the fact the Earth has water and land, spins around, and is tilted 23.5°, forces like the Corilolis ...

These processes connect local breezes to global air circulation, driven entirely by solar energy and the Earth's rotation, making wind a constant and essential part of Earth’s climate system.

Study suggests effects of climate change will slow air circulation around the world. You have full access to this article via your institution. Climate change is poised to worsen air quality in ...

These boundaries, or chemical equators, can typically be found at a "wall" created by global air circulation patterns that separates Northern and Southern hemispheric air.

As global temperatures rise, Antarctic ice is expected to melt faster, but that doesn’t mean the circulation of deep water will increase – in fact the opposite, scientists said.

This structure of the global cloud field is a creation of the Earth’s atmospheric circulation. Atmospheric circulation, when examined using a simplified, two-dimensional view (such as in Fig. 2 ...
