A new study involving the University of Liverpool reveals striking temperature shifts across both the oceans and the atmosphere, using an extended version of the now-iconic climate stripes ...

The surface temperature refers to temperatures just at the surface, where the ocean waters and atmosphere commute. Surface temperatures are important because they dictate how fast heat and ...

After one of the strongest El Niños on record ended in 2024, meteorologists predicted La Niña — the counterpart to this climate pattern — would follow. Signals of a slowly developing and "unusual" La ...

and brought to the ocean surface adiabatically (i.e., without exchanging any heat with its surroundings). The potential temperature is therefore insensitive to pressure by definition, but is lower ...

we noted strong correlations between squid annual abundance and sea surface temperature (SST) in January and February and eddy kinetic energy (EKE) from March to May in the Southwest Atlantic.
