Extracting order from turbulence is difficult, even under the most idealized conditions. A new scaling theory quantifies how eddies influence temperature gradients in geophysical turbulence.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
A new study uses modeling techniques to uncover how small incidents of warming may be turned into hyperthermal events lasting thousands of years.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Last winter, an unprecedented high-pressure system over the Arctic drove nearly a quarter of old sea ice into warmer waters, putting it at greater risk of melting.Read More »Geohealth
En un nuevo estudio, investigadores aplicaron un modelo global del sistema Tierra para estimar los impactos de las reducciones de emisiones por sector.Read More »Geohealth
A new study found significant increases in the intensity, frequency, and duration of cyclonic storms over the Arabian Sea. Is the west coast prepared?Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Researchers uncover how black carbon evolves from hydrophobic particles to cloud nucleation sites, eventually removing the heat-absorbing particles from the sky.Read More »Climate Change
The eastern tropical Pacific Ocean hasn’t warmed as much as climate change models projected. A new study shows that aerosols in the atmosphere could be responsible.Read More »
Freshwater lakes on the highest plateau in the world act like lenses that accumulate heat from the intense solar radiation, accelerating ice cover melt and affecting land-atmosphere fluxes.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
These intense maritime storms pose threats to high-latitude coastal communities and economic activities and may influence climate and ocean circulation.Read More »
