Atmospheric rivers are long filaments of moisture that curve poleward. Several are visible in this satellite image. Bin Guan, NASA/JPL-Caltech and UCLA Atmospheric rivers – those long, narrow bands of ...

The Walker circulation, an atmospheric circulation pattern in the tropics, has accelerated in recent years, puzzling climate ...

A new study has revealed significant acceleration in the upper-ocean circulation of the equatorial Pacific over the past 30 years. This acceleration is primarily driven by intensified atmospheric ...

The global atmospheric circulation carries moisture from warm, tropical regions and deposits it as precipitation far from its sources. Changes in evaporative fluxes and atmospheric circulation can ...

Scientists outline the first direct evidence linking seemingly random weather systems in the ocean with climate on a global scale. The team's work creates a promising framework for better ...

One of the big contributors to the record-breaking global temperatures over the past year – El Nino – is nearly gone, and its opposite, La Nina, is on the way. Whether that’s a relief or not depends ...

El Niño is so last season. Federal forecasters say the climate pattern, which brought warmer-than-normal ocean temperatures to the Eastern Pacific — and helped drive global temperatures to new heights ...

Weather forecasters announced a high probability that the La Niña climate phenomenon will affect Uruguay during the 2025-2026 season, bringing significant challenges to the agricultural sector. La ...
