CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Atmospheric measurements made at Earth’s geographic poles provide a convenient way of validating and calibrating global circulation models. Such measurements also might provide some ...

The Pacific Ocean covers 32% of Earth’s surface area, more than all the land combined. Unsurprisingly, its activity affects conditions around the globe. Periodic variations in the ocean’s water ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...

But using AI is still extremely tempting because the alternative is a computational atmospheric circulation model, which is extremely compute-intensive. Still, it’s highly successful, with the ...

The middle atmosphere (i.e. the atmospheric layer extending from about 10 to 100 km) is known to influence surface weather and climate, and its role in the climate system is increasingly being ...

Thermodynamical and dynamical aspects of the climate system response to anthropogenic forcing are often considered in two distinct frameworks: the former in the context of the forcing–feedback ...

A research team has evaluated a collection of climate models to better understand how well they can simulate multiyear El ...
