Global wind patterns could impact forests’ abilities to adapt to climate crisis, research suggests Forests’ futures are blowin’ in the wind ...

Warming changes wind patterns, which changes cloud patterns, which results in more warming. This is what we call "positive feedback" in the climate system: warming leads to more warming.

The study compared global wind patterns with previously published genetic data of nearly 100 tree and shrub species collected from forests around the world, finding significant correlations ...

A supervolcano eruption can change the periodic wind system in the tropical stratosphere, disrupting Earth's climate for decades.

Global wind patterns are controlled by ocean currents, air pressure, and temperature differences across the planet. Perhaps the most critical component of this system is the polar jet stream -- a fast ...

It’s high time you met earth, a plainly titled, interactive datavisualization that offers visitors a realtime glimpse of global wind patterns. WARNING: If you’re into this sort of thing, this ...

Ocean currents move in response to global wind patterns and Earth's rotation. Uneven heating of Earth creates global winds that form three separate bands in each of the northern and southern ...

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 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.
