Physical processes with higher global monsoon simulation skill in CMIP6 than in CMIP5. The green shading represents the difference in local summer precipitation biases between CMIP6 and CMIP5. Global ...

A research team led by Prof. ZHAO Chun from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has developed a global variable-resolution modeling ...

“We hoped to demonstrate that the mechanism we believe is acting in the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn can explain equatorial ...

One of the most notable properties of the giant planets in our solar system—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune—are the ...

Scientists outline the first direct evidence linking seemingly random weather systems in the ocean with climate on a global scale. The team's work creates a promising framework for better ...

This illustration by Benjamin Storer shows oceanic weather systems (mesoscale eddies) from data overlaid with atmospherically driven climate-scale currents (black lines), which can be extracted with a ...

Two ensembles of Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) simulations, in the scope of the current Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), are compared with their fully coupled ...

New research from the University of St Andrews has shed light on a crucial mechanism of lowering atmospheric CO2 during Earth's past ice ages.

Atmospheric rivers are long filaments of moisture that curve poleward. Several are visible in this satellite image. Bin Guan, NASA/JPL-Caltech and UCLA Atmospheric rivers – those long, narrow bands of ...

During a La Niña, a counterpart to the El Niño weather pattern, drier than normal conditions are to be expected. But 2023, a La Niña year, turned out to be California’s 10th-wettest year on record.
