Today, a paper published in Science documents for the first time the global wind circulation patterns in the upper atmosphere of a planet, 120 to 300 kilometers above the surface. The findings are ...

Local weather systems—the kind that determine the location and type of clouds—depend on these major, large-scale wind systems. The major circulation patterns in the atmosphere are changing as a result ...

Today, a paper published in Science documents for the first time the global wind circulation patterns in the upper atmosphere of a planet, 120 to 300 kilometers above the surface. The findings are ...

The Southern Hemisphere westerly winds have experienced significant changes in strength and position over the past 11,000 years, with implications for ice shelves, ocean circulation, and global CO ...

Scientists are still working to fully understand why the relative cooling in the North Atlantic warming hole is happening, but global circulation patterns are considered a key ingredient. That led ...

The major circulation patterns in the atmosphere are changing as a result of global warming. We found much of the cloud action is taking place at the edges of these major wind systems. Cloud cover ...
