A new study in Nature has revealed that the atmospheric component of this system -- called the Pacific Walker Circulation -- has changed its behavior over the industrial era in ways that weren't ...

Many studies have demonstrated that atmospheric circulation anomalies play an important role in modulating the SAT variations. Hence, the persistent characteristics of the Eurasian atmospheric ...

Its effects on atmospheric circulation, however, are more complex because the atmosphere is noisy and chaotic and because thermodynamic changes can generate effects that make circulation changes ...

"But we find circulation is just as important. It's not one process or the other, but both." The findings are based on a detailed computer model that includes atmospheric chemical effects ...

We next explore the extent to which trends in mid-atmospheric circulation patterns have influenced the likelihood of temperature extremes. For each period, we compute area-weighted trends in the ...

In contrast, we have much less confidence in atmospheric circulation aspects of climate change, which are primarily controlled by dynamics and exert a strong control on regional climate.

In a National Science Foundation and NOAA-funded review of recent advances in regional modeling, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, climate scientist Shang-Ping Xie and co-authors say ...

Changes to atmospheric circulation caused by global warming may persist for centuries after carbon dioxide concentrations decrease. Removing carbon from Earth's atmosphere may not reverse ...
