A new study suggests changes in wind patterns may have caused a striking ecological failure in Central America.

Article Title University of Washington researchers show that the all-time record low in winter sea ice extent in 2023 can be explained by warm Southern Ocean conditions and patterns in the winds ...

Because of this, wind patterns drive sandstorms and dust storms, often encircling the entire planet and preventing sunlight from reaching the surface. “The shape and pattern of these aeolian ...

Typically, an El Niño pattern – unusually warm equatorial Pacific water off South America – produces wind patterns over the Atlantic that are hostile to hurricane development.

Warming in the Arctic shifts storm patterns, leading to reductions in wind speeds in places that rely on turbines for clean electricity.

John Bird, Ph.D., and Afroza Shirin, Ph.D., stand with a model aircraft used in their research on soaring. With a new grant ...

When two wind patterns bang together, the rising air is formed. A good example is wind blowing from the northwest and wind blowing from the southwest will collide and cause this “pile up” of air.
