Summers are getting hotter and drier in the Eurasian landmass due to an atmospheric circulation pattern further aggravated by anthropogenic factors. The recent tandem heat-wave-drought events in ...

The primary factor was an unusual atmospheric circulation pattern linked to Arctic warming, which accounted for 83% of the cold snap’s intensity.

Atmospheric rivers occur all over the world, as this animation of global satellite data from February 2017 shows. NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio ...

The image reveals how these ocean weather systems are energized (red) or weakened (blue) when interacting with climate-scales, which follows a pattern mirroring the global atmospheric circulation.

Scientists have been investigating — and debating — the exact physical effects of global warming on atmospheric circulation patterns for years. But the new study adds to the evidence that ...

The study revealed that ocean weather systems are both energized and weakened when interacting with climate scales, and in a pattern that mirrors the global atmospheric circulation. The ...

Hadley cells are an atmospheric air circulation pattern, whose expansion towards the poles has a significant impact on global weather. This causes heatwaves, droughts, and tropical cyclones.

Atmospheric rivers are commonly seen in the extratropics, a region between the latitudes of 30 and 50 degrees in both hemispheres that includes most of the continental U.S., southern Australia and ...

Global cascade of kinetic energy in the ocean and the atmospheric imprint. Science Advances, 2023; 9 (51) DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adi7420 ...
