As climate change advances, the ocean's overturning circulation is predicted to weaken substantially. With such a slowdown, scientists estimate the ocean will pull down less carbon dioxide from the ...

The way climate change affects thermodynamic signals, such as atmospheric temperatures, is relatively well understood. Its effects on atmospheric circulation, however, are more complex because the ...

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 ...

(a) Northwest type, (b) Southeast type, and (c) Southern Himalayas type. “C”: cyclonic circulation anomaly. “A”: anticyclonic circulation anomaly. The green arrow indicates moisture transport and its ...

Sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies profoundly shape regional precipitation variability, yet their pathways are often obscured by seasonal/monthly mean-state analyses overlooking daily atmospheric ...

The low-frequency variability of the mid-latitude atmosphere involves complex nonlinear and chaotic dynamical processes posing predictability challenges. It is characterized by sporadically recurring, ...
