While Typhoon Co-may — the eighth of the year — has mainly affected eastern China, it has had an indirect link to the ...

Extreme humidity and triple-digit temperatures are affecting around 250 million people across the United States. Here's the science behind the heat dome that’s stifling the nation.

Ocean iron cycle feedbacks decouple atmospheric CO2 from meridional overturning circulation changes. Nature Communications, 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-49274-1 ...

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 ...

Atmospheric rivers —the massive bands of water vapor that deliver crucial rainfall to regions worldwide—are steadily moving toward Earth's poles, a shift that could dramatically alter ...

This could be due to temporarily changed atmospheric circulation patterns. Researchers now discuss how this affects the ocean and what it could mean for the future of Greenland's glaciers. Share: ...

By bne IntelliNews A patch of the Atlantic Ocean just south of Greenland is cooling while much of the world warms, and scientists have found that both ocean and atmospheric factors contribute equally ...

For example, in Southern California, atmospheric rivers accounted for as little as 5% of precipitation in 1977 and as much as 71% in 1956, scientists say.

While dancing to the beat of their own drum, atmospheric rivers are key in California’s water supply, delivering on average up to 65% of the annual precipitation in Northern California and 40% in ...
