A new review published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences sheds light on one of climate science's enduring puzzles: how the patterns of tropical ocean warming influence the behavior of tropical ...

Subtropical oceans across the planet, including regions of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans, have surged to record levels of warmth, and that may be having the counterintuitive effect: fewer ...

About 20,000 years ago, large ice sheets loomed over North America, and researchers thought the ice, itself, pushed storms south, drenching the Southwest and leaving the Pacific Northwest dry. Now, a ...

A positive Indian Ocean Dipole is joining El Niño. Here’s how the two patterns could shape the U.S. winter and Florida’s ...

A study has shown that marine life around the world is surprisingly dependent on a single ocean circulation pattern in the Southern Hemisphere where nutrient-rich water rises from the deep and spreads ...

Scientists have spotted something dramatically unusual in the ocean, and it could be a warning sign of things to come. Warm air dances with cold air; cold water chases warm water. It's all a part of a ...

Most people are familiar with El Niño, a climate pattern caused by unusually warm sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. A strong El Niño can influence weather ...

"The amount of heat going into the ocean continues to increase." Between 2010 and 2020, the ocean absorbed (roughly) the equivalent amount of energy released when detonating a Tsar Bomba — the most ...

Attribution researches the influence of climate change on local weather and impacts. We issues alerts in many instances when the Climate Shift Index identifies a notable extreme weather event around ...

The important nutrient phosphate may be less abundant in the global ocean than previously thought, according to a new article. The researchers compiled data collected using highly sensitive techniques ...

A major climate pattern is developing in the Indian Ocean just as a powerful El Niño strengthens in the Pacific — and the combination could help shape the weather Florida sees this winter. The pattern ...
