Scientists are still seeking an explanation for the Mid-Pleistocene Transition when ice ages became longer in duration and exploring what it may mean for future climate change.

Global Warming Intensifies Turbulence Over Northern Eurasia
A significant increasing trend of turbulence in upper atmosphere over northern Eurasia is attributed to intense anthropogenic activities.
New Technique to Estimate Climate Sensitivity
Climate sensitivity can be estimated using multiple variables jointly in a multi-component linear regression.
Committed U.S. Power Emissions Incompatible with Paris Agreement
Without a significant reduction in usage, committed emissions from coal and gas plants in the United States are already incompatible with the country’s pledges under the Paris climate agreement.
Cielos Despejados Sin Precedentes Condujeron a un Notable Deshielo en Groenlandia
A los científicos les preocupa que los modelos climáticos actuales no tomen en cuenta el impacto de las condiciones atmosféricas en la capa de hielo del Groenlandia, y en consecuencia, puedan subestimar drásticamente su derretimiento.
Emerging Controversy in Madden-Julian Oscillation Prediction
The Quasi-Biennial Oscillation modulates the Madden-Julian Oscillation in observations, but it does not significantly influence prediction skills in a multi-model assessment.
Tropical Corals Are Migrating Away from Warming Waters
In the first global assessment of its kind, researchers discovered that coral recruitment is declining globally and throughout the tropics while increasing in the subtropics.
How Is Recent Arctic Warming Impacting East Asian Weather?
Arctic Warming and East Asia Weather Linkage Workshop; Incheon, South Korea, 13 May 2019
Effects of Variability in Atlantic Ocean Circulation
There is strong evidence that the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation plays an essential role in Atlantic multidecadal variability and associated climate impacts.
A New Road Map for Assessing the Effects of Solar Geoengineering
A special issue dedicated to modeling the impacts of stratospheric sulfur dioxide injections is a crucial step toward understanding the climate goals this intervention can—and cannot—achieve.
