The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), an ocean current system that transports heat from the tropics to the ...

The ocean is doing its best to soak up excess heat, but once humanity (hopefully) achieves a net-negative carbon economy, the ...

Some of the climate system’s responses to global warming are rather surprising: Contrary to scientists’ expectations, the Pacific Walker circulation – a large-scale circulation in the tropical ...

Physical processes with higher global monsoon simulation skill in CMIP6 than in CMIP5. The green shading represents the difference in local summer precipitation biases between CMIP6 and CMIP5. Global ...

The Southern Ocean can release stored heat during cooling, creating short-term warming. This discovery shows climate recovery won’t be quick.

The Southern Ocean has been dutifully gobbling up a century's worth of carbon dioxide and heat released by human activities, but when we finally let go of our fossil fuel habit, it might come back to ...

Heatwaves pose a recurring challenge to lives across the globe, as the climate crisis intensifies and there are frequent and myriad disruptions to the global atmospheric circulation system. April 2024 ...

Atmospheric rivers—the massive bands of water vapor that deliver crucial rainfall to regions worldwide—are steadily moving toward Earth's poles, a shift that could dramatically alter precipitation ...

Researchers at Kyushu University have found that rising CO2 levels in our atmosphere could lead to future disruptions in ...
