As atmospheric greenhouse gases rise and climate change impacts get costlier, the scientific community is redoubling efforts to investigate the potential risks and benefits of artificially shading Earth’s surface to slow global warming.
This summer’s western wildfire season is likely to be more severe than average but not as devastating as last year’s near-record, according to an experimental prediction method developed by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
A new study finds that Atlantic Niño, the Atlantic counterpart of the Pacific El Niño, increases the formation of tropical cyclones off the coast of West Africa. The study is the first to investigate the links between Atlantic Niño/Niña and seasonal Atlantic tropical cyclone activity and the associated physical mechanisms.
A new study adds to the growing evidence that cloud feedback likely amplifies warming, rather than reducing it. Cloud impacts in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic Oceans are 71% higher than previously thought.
Sea surface temperatures, storms, greenhouse gases, aerosols, and natural radiation all affect the tropical Atlantic climate. A new study finds that a north-to-south ocean temperature gradient is a key driver of Atlantic hurricanes and Sahel rainfall.
New CPO-funded research, recently published in Nature Climate Change, presents new methods for evaluating the performance of climate model predictions. The statistical methods provide a way to ...
The crippling wintertime droughts that struck California from 2013 to 2015, as well as this year's unusually wet California winter, appear to be associated with the same phenomenon: a distinctive ...
