Researchers measuring the salinity of the Southern Ocean did find unexpected results, but some online reports got the details ...

A report from a European news wire agency on the reversal of an important ocean current has sparked alarm online.

This anomaly, which has cooled even as surrounding waters have warmed, is now better understood thanks to new research led by ...

In two recent studies, researchers suggest a weakening ocean current system is to blame for a persistent cold spot in the ...

In short, the global warming induced by increased greenhouse gases changes the major wind systems on Earth. This in turn reduces the area of highly reflective clouds, leading to additional warming.

The atmosphere’s fast mixing time scales were thought to inhibit the necessary memory effect for such multistability. Here, we show that moisture accumulation within the atmospheric column generates ...

Atmospheric pressure plays a crucial role in weather patterns and daily life. When it reaches record highs, it can lead to significant changes in the environment and impact human health.

New research from scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography finds that atmospheric rivers explain the majority of atypical El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) years, such as ...

Atmospheric rivers have been making landfall further and further north in recent decades. Now scientists have figured out why.
