Con ayuda de un modelo de circulación oceánica, un equipo de investigadores logró etiquetar y rastrear el carbono emitido antropogénicamente para determinar si su destino es la atmósfera o el océano.
Modeling
Conserving Biodiversity Could Alter Crop Production
Researchers examined the land use trade-offs that could come with protecting at-risk species. But some scientists question what should be prioritized.
How Kicked-Up Dust Forms Cirrus Clouds
Dust lifted into the air by cyclones provides anchor points for cloud-forming ice.
Better Resolution Might Unlock the Mystery of Storms
Climate models have many persistent and systematic biases, but a new study shows that allowing for a physical rather than statistical representation of energy transport reduces one of them.
A New Approach to Spinning-Up Passive Tracers in Ocean Models
A new computational method enables finding steady-state distributions of tracers in ocean circulation models, opening opportunities for physical and biogeochemical insight.
Artificial Lake-Level Lowering Alleviates Floods in the Himalayas
A new model combining future permafrost degradation and related avalanches demonstrates that artificial lake-lowering could significantly reduce the risk of glacial lake outburst floods.
Extreme Wildfires Make Their Own Weather
Extreme fires in the western United States and Southeast Asia influenced the local weather in ways that make fires and smoke pollution worse.
Marauding Moons Spell Disaster for Some Planets
In solar systems beyond our own, some moons might eventually collide with their host planets, new simulations suggest.
Accounting for Offbeat Earthquakes Could Improve Forecasts
A new model considers the full history of earthquakes on a fault, improving forecasts of when the next will strike.
