A new study has revealed significant acceleration in the upper-ocean circulation of the equatorial Pacific over the past 30 years. This acceleration is primarily driven by intensified atmospheric ...

The circulation of the atmosphere is characterized by features such as polar fronts, mid-latitude jet streams (fast-flowing narrow air currents) and a tropical meridional (north–south) overturning ...

The Ocean's Steady Breath The trade winds are permanent east-to-west prevailing winds that flow in Earth's equatorial region, blowing mainly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the ...

One of the world’s most important ocean currents is dangerously weakening but new research suggests it is unlikely to stop ...

The world's climate has become more unpredictable, leading experts to coin the term "global weirding." The rising temperatures are creating extreme weather that looks different all across the globe.

Climate and weather are two terms that go hand in hand but often get conflated. When the weather turns cold, meteorologists and climate scientists almost always get a variation of the same question, ...

As more natural disasters and severe weather events take place, the impacts of global warming and climate change are being called into question. While many still doubt the actuality of climate change, ...

The warming climate in polar regions may significantly disrupt ocean circulation patterns, a new study indicates. Scientists discovered that in the distant past, growing inflows of freshwater from ...

West-east near-surface current trend between 1993-2022. Blue colors show increased westward currents; red colors show increased eastward currents. The largest trends are observed in the central ...
