This process of atmospheric circulation creates weather patterns and influences the climate of the planet. It is important to understand these processes in order to predict weather events ...

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 ...

With such a slowdown, scientists estimate the ocean will pull down less carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, a slower circulation should also dredge up less carbon from the deep ocean that ...

IF the question of the general circulation of the atmosphere were referred to a meeting of educated people, one might be sure that ninety out of a hundred who could give any answer at all would ...

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 ...

Those extreme temperature contrasts make it challenging to figure out how energy is distributed in the atmospheric system ... with determining the vertical circulation patterns that are not ...

Previously, meteorologists studied the circulation of the atmosphere in hopes of understanding its movements to provide weather personnel with better tools for prediction. Now we understand that ...
