Warming in the Arctic shifts storm patterns, leading to reductions in wind speeds in places that rely on turbines for clean ...

Convergence zones are key features in the Earth's atmospheric circulation, playing a vital role in shaping weather patterns across the globe.

Typically, an El Niño pattern – unusually warm equatorial Pacific water off South America – produces wind patterns over the Atlantic that are hostile to hurricane development.

As we learned in 2023, it depends on the severity of the wildfires and the wind patterns. "We don't have a long-range (air quality) forecast," Marsalek said. "Ours are modeled up to 48 hours." ...

Using computer modeling, a team of international researchers demonstrated that sargassum blooms were brought to the tropics by strong ocean currents and wind and thrived in ideal growing ...
