A new study in Nature has revealed that the atmospheric component of this system -- called the Pacific Walker Circulation -- has changed its behavior over the industrial era in ways that weren't ...

In short, the global warming induced by increased greenhouse gases changes the major wind systems on Earth. This in turn ...

Its effects on atmospheric circulation, however, are more complex because the atmosphere is noisy and chaotic and because thermodynamic changes can generate effects that make circulation changes ...

With such a slowdown, scientists estimate the ocean will pull down less carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, a slower circulation should also dredge up less carbon from the deep ocean that ...

JOHN WISE. Lancaster, Pa., Dec. 4, 1860. This article was originally published with the title "Atmospheric Circulation and Aepial Navigation" in Scientific American 3, 25new, 386 (December 1860 ...

Atmospheric rivers exist to take moisture ... systems that form just far enough south that their counter-clockwise circulation scoops up water vapor from the tropics and transports it northward.

This weakens the wind circulation, as well as the transport ... to faster wind speed with increasing height, making the upper atmosphere less favorable for tropical storm development.

Warmer air can also hold more water vapor. The circulation of the atmosphere will pull streams of moisture away from the equator forming “atmospheric rivers.” These “rivers” of moisture ...

One of the big contributors to the record-breaking global temperatures over the past year – El Nino – is nearly gone, and its opposite, La Nina, is on the way. Whether that’s a relief or not ...
