The normal flow of air high up in the atmosphere over the equator, known as the quasi-biennial oscillation, was seen to break down earlier this year. These stratospheric winds are found high above ...

Immense northern storms on Saturn can disturb atmospheric patterns at the planet's equator, finds the international ... known as the Quasi-Periodic Oscillation (QPO) on Saturn and the Quasi ...

Kelvin waves are centered around the equator ... Recent research suggests some atmospheric waves, such as Kelvin and the Madden-Julian Oscillation, could become more intense, potentially with ...

The team has found, for the first time, evidence of a Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) -- an atmospheric circulation pattern that originates at the equator -- at McMurdo, Antarctica. A CIRES-led ...

A simple model that considers the equations for the evolution of a longitudinally symmetric atmosphere ... equatorial oscillation should be confined within a distance L of the equator (see ...

The wave pattern is called an atmospheric oscillation. It ripples back and ... Among them: the temperature at Saturn’s equator switches from hot to cold, and temperatures on either side of ...

This slow, eastward-moving wave of clouds, rainfall and large-scale atmospheric circulation anomalies spans nearly half of Earth’s equator ... the Madden-Julian Oscillation triggers showers ...

Farther from the equator, some surface water ... we don’t have a great understanding of how atmospheric conditions combine to govern this oscillation. That means we can’t predict its behavior ...

SAM, which is also known as the Antarctic oscillation ... Earth's atmospheric circulation, the tendency for air to sink in the subtropics, about 30 degrees latitude north or south of the equator ...

Ocean-atmosphere oscillations are naturally occurring cycles affecting sea surface temperature and precipitation. They are among the key reasons why some years are dry and plagued by drought while ...

Immense northern storms on Saturn can disturb atmospheric patterns at the planet’s equator, finds the international Cassini ... These patterns—known as the Quasi-Periodic Oscillation (QPO) on Saturn ...
