The circulation of the atmosphere will pull streams of moisture away from the equator forming “atmospheric rivers.” These “rivers” of moisture can be pushed towards land by weather systems.

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.

The way climate change affects thermodynamic signals, such as atmospheric temperatures, is relatively well understood. Its effects on atmospheric circulation, however, are more complex because the ...

However, a slower circulation should also dredge up less carbon from the deep ocean that would otherwise be released back into the atmosphere.

An atmospheric river that affects the West Coast—and California in particular—is usually nicknamed a Pineapple Express since the source of the tropical moisture is the area around Hawaii.

Scientists are keenly aware that global ocean circulation continues to slow down and warning signs are beginning to point to what the world will look like in the decades to come.

Atmospheric rivers play a major role in how the West Coast gets its water. Some of the rivers carry as much as 10.5 trillion gallons of water each day.

He ran the model with different circulation strengths, expecting to see less atmospheric carbon dioxide with weaker ocean overturning -- a relationship that previous studies have supported, dating ...
