Atmospheric rivers are long filaments of moisture that curve poleward. Several are visible in this satellite image. Bin Guan, NASA/JPL-Caltech and UCLA Atmospheric rivers – those long, narrow bands of ...
Could Ottawa’s clean energy tech cluster be a leader in large-scale atmospheric heat capture and conversion technology? We are witnessing a steady stream of media reports about global atmospheric ...
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 ...
Right now, the world’s best weather forecast model is a General Circulation Model, or GCM, put together by the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. A GCM is in part based on code that ...
A barrage of intense, wild swings in climate conditions may have fueled the largest mass extinction in Earth’s history. A re-creation of how ancient sea surface temperatures, ocean and atmosphere ...
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 ...
El Nino, a term that often graces our weather forecasts, is a fascinating natural phenomenon that plays a significant role in shaping weather patterns around the world. If you're embarking on a ...
Atmospheric rivers – those long, narrow bands of water vapor in the sky that bring heavy rain and storms to the U.S. West Coast and many other regions – are shifting toward higher latitudes, and ...
