The Earth’s atmospheric circulation comprises large‐scale wind patterns that redistribute heat, moisture and momentum around the globe. Central to this circulation are the tropical Hadley cells, ...

As climate change advances, the ocean's overturning circulation is predicted to weaken substantially. With such a slowdown, scientists estimate the ocean will pull down less carbon dioxide from the ...

The weather over the North Atlantic affects hundreds of millions of people. From winter storms over Europe to cold spells in eastern North America, many of these impacts are shaped by large-scale ...

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 ...

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 ...

When will the impact of El Nino reach Indian Ocean region? The Pacific is developing an exceptionally strong El Nino, and it is reasonable to describe it as a potential ‘Super El Nino.’ A Super El ...

As climate change advances, the ocean’s overturning circulation is predicted to weaken substantially. With such a slowdown, scientists estimate the ocean will pull down less carbon dioxide from 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, and ...

As global warming intensifies, extreme heat events are becoming more frequent and severe worldwide, and are increasingly occurring alongside air pollution to form compound heatwave–air pollution ...

A weakening Atlantic Ocean current could make future atmospheric rivers in California wetter, increasing flood risks. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, is a system of currents ...
