VIENNA—Scientists at the European Geosciences Union conference last week said there is growing scientific evidence that global warming is driving a big increase in dangerous clear-air turbulence ...

ABSTRACTFollowing on the heels of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment, the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) consortium has been directed at making the best possible ...

The way climate change affects thermodynamic signals, such as atmospheric temperatures, is relatively well understood. Its effects on atmospheric circulation, however, are more complex because the ...

Atmospheric rivers – those long, narrow bands of water vapor in the sky that bring heavy rain and storms to the U.S. West Coast and many other regions – are shifting toward higher latitudes ...

These powerful ‘rivers in the sky’ provide a huge share of annual precipitation in many regions, including California. They can also melt sea ice, with global climate implications.

Hidden Planet Scientists just discovered why Earth’s atmosphere is leaking It turns out the mysterious force is a previously undiscovered global electric field.

The haze scattered and reflected sunlight away from the Earth and cooled global atmospheric temperatures almost 1 degree Fahrenheit in 1992 and 1993 before finally washing out.

How La Nina and El Nino form. NOAA. The tropics have an atmospheric circulation pattern called the Walker Circulation, named after Sir Gilbert Walker, an English physicist in the early 20th century.

New research warns of a possible collapse in Atlantic Ocean currents due to climate change. That could fundamentally alter global weather patterns.

When ominous warmth first appeared in Earth’s oceans last spring, scientists said it was a likely sign that record global heat was imminent — but not until 2024.

Simulating dust aerosols using a global variable-resolution atmospheric model with regional refinement capabilities offers an alternative that avoids the use of boundary conditions and is ...
