Basic circulation model indicates that increasing global wind power by 18-34 times from 1 Terawatt today will be like doubling atmospheric CO2. This would be counter to the stated goals of reducing ...

An international team of scientists found that volcanic eruptions can cause the Pacific Walker Circulation to temporarily weaken, inducing El Niño-like conditions. The results provide important ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Weather forecasters talk about wind shear a lot during hurricane season, but what exactly is it? I teach meteorology at Georgia ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...

Explosive tropical volcanic eruptions can set off a chain reaction in the atmosphere that weakens the Asian summer monsoon ...

Wind shear is defined as the change in wind speed, wind direction, or both, over some distance. You may have heard airplane pilots talk about turbulence and warn passengers that they’re in for a bumpy ...

Barchan dune field maps on Mars produced by machine learning, with inferred dune migration and wind directions. Credit: Geophysical Research Letters (2023). DOI: 10.1029/2022GL102610 Mars is one of ...

The Pacific Ocean covers 32% of Earth’s surface area, more than all the land combined. Unsurprisingly, its activity affects conditions around the globe. Periodic variations in the ocean’s water ...
