What is a Marine Heatwave? To better understand marine heatwaves, it is essential to grasp their definition and the context in which they occur. Currently, in the North Pacific, an extensive anomaly ...

“The atmospheric circulation patterns of the last few decades show some striking similarities to the patterns simulated in our study — especially events such as the Californian drought of 2012 ...

This means that even if the atmospheric circulation remains the same, the additional moisture in the air leads to more intense rain events and more drastic fluctuations between them," said Dr ...

Volcanoes that blast gases high into the atmosphere not only change global temperatures but also influence flooding in ...

Summers are getting hotter and drier in the Eurasian landmass due to an atmospheric circulation pattern further aggravated by anthropogenic factors. The recent tandem heat-wave-drought events in ...

But atmospheric circulation patterns can co-occur — and have before — without triggering an extreme heatwave, so how much was the 2021 event influenced by human activities?

This could be due to temporarily changed atmospheric circulation patterns. In a study just released in the journal Science, the researchers discuss how this affects the ocean and what it could ...

The tropics have an atmospheric circulation pattern called the Walker Circulation, named after Sir Gilbert Walker, an English physicist in the early 20th century.

Dong Wan Kim, Sukyoung Lee, The Role of Latent Heating Anomalies in Exciting the Summertime Eurasian Circulation Trend Pattern and High Surface Temperature, Journal of Climate, Vol. 35, No. 2 (15 ...

Hubble observations suggest complex atmospheric circulation patterns on Uranus during this period. The data that are most sensitive to the methane distribution indicate a downwelling in the polar ...
