The warming climate has not lead to an expected increase in atmospheric moisture over arid and semi-arid regions of the world. The finding, which has surprised scientists, indicates that some ...

Antarctica could see a doubling of extreme weather events—such as atmospheric rivers—by 2100, with implications for future sea level rise.

Atmospheric rivers are responsible for most flooding on the West Coast of the U.S., but they also bring much-needed moisture ...

They found that moisture content in the air will only increase due to rising surface temperatures. This will increase the number of atmospheric rivers that form, and the extreme weather that they ...

This is known as the Clausius-Clapeyron relationship, and it’s the reason climate models consistently project that atmospheric water vapor will increase as the planet becomes warmer. But when Simpson ...

It’s not clear whether a warmer atmosphere will make droughts more or less intense, frequent and widespread. “As the atmosphere warms, air at a constant relative humidity will hold more water vapor, ...

As the climate warms, the atmosphere's increasing demand for evaporation is surpassing the rate at which precipitation is ...

There was a record-breaking increase in methane in Earth’s atmosphere last year. Methane is an even more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and scientists are scrambling to figure out ...

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Meteorologist Scot Mundt is following the increase in moisture and our temperatures on Friday. Spring is known for its ups and downs. Southeast KELOLAND can expect to ...
