Abrupt climate changes have affected rainfall patterns worldwide in the past, especially in the tropical monsoon region, a new study shows. An international team of scientists used dripstones from ...
This illustration by Benjamin Storer shows oceanic weather systems (mesoscale eddies) from data overlaid with atmospherically driven climate-scale currents (black lines), which can be extracted with a ...
Climate models are complex, just like the world they mirror. They simultaneously simulate the interacting, chaotic flow of ...
Physical processes with higher global monsoon simulation skill in CMIP6 than in CMIP5. The green shading represents the difference in local summer precipitation biases between CMIP6 and CMIP5. Global ...
One of the most notable properties of the giant planets in our solar system—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune—are the ...
Researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a hybrid deep ...
Atmospheric rivers are long filaments of moisture that curve poleward. Several are visible in this satellite image. Bin Guan, NASA/JPL-Caltech and UCLA Atmospheric rivers – those long, narrow bands of ...
The latest suite of climate models collectively projects that the average temperature of the global atmosphere should be increasing at the rate of about 0.28–0.29 degrees Celsius per decade. But how ...
Scientists outline the first direct evidence linking seemingly random weather systems in the ocean with climate on a global scale. The team's work creates a promising framework for better ...
