Isaac Held, formerly Princeton University and GFDL/NOAA 'This book is an enormously broad and detailed overview of the atmospheric circulation that combines perspectives gained over the sixty-year ...

As warm air rises and cold air sinks it forms three atmospheric circulation cells north of the equator and three to the south. These circulation cells move over land and sea to redistribute the ...

As 2023 came to a close, scientists had hoped that a stretch of record heat that emerged across the planet might finally ...

The year 2024 started with an El Niño and is poised to become the hottest year on record,” said WMO Secretary-General Celeste ...

The combination of oceanic and atmospheric circulation drives global climate by redistributing heat and moisture. Areas located near the tropics remain warm and relatively wet throughout the year.

This process maintains the global energy balance. Scientists have studied atmospheric circulation and have agreed on a simplified model to explain the redistribution of energy from areas of ...

Reacting to these findings, Dr. Stefan Rahmstorf – who has been studying the AMOC for years – says that the world must expect ...

A crucial ocean layer essential to the dynamics of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). A recent study published in the ...

New modeling research reveals that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is particularly vulnerable to ...

Latest WMO forecasts indicate a 55% likelihood of a transition from the current neutral conditions to La Nina conditions ...
