A new study shows models diverge in predicting warming or cooling along the West Antarctic shelf. The difference is due to the models’ differing baseline representation of the Antarctic Slope Current.

A new study finds improvements in how models simulate surface wind responses to sea surface temperature changes are key to enhancing prediction skill.
Nitrogen oxide is an air pollutant with health and environmental consequences, so researchers try to accurately gauge human-caused NOx emissions. Emission inventories and satellite observations have given different estimates of NOx. A new study shows the source of the discrepancy
A new study examines how rising global temperatures may affect weather patterns in the region stretching from the east coasts of China and Taiwan, and Japan.
New research evaluates how changing climate may affect fish catch, fish distributions, and food web structure in the upper 600 meters of the ocean.
A new study analyzes forecasts of acidity and oxygen at the ocean’s surface and subsurface. Combining data sources improves forecast skill up to ten months in advance.
Tropical cyclones are still not fully understood at a fine level of detail. A newly published climate-model study demonstrates a better understanding of the processes of tropical cyclone formation, which will help to develop models and future projections.
Modeling volcanic eruptions based on actual sulfur dioxide emissions, rather than preset assumptions, better matches historical cooling patterns recorded in tree rings.
Weather forecasts struggle to predict how much snow will persist or melt. Scientists are addressing this challenge with a more advanced system that better accounts for factors like snow grain size, shape, and impurities like dust or soot.
A letter recently published in Nature Climate Change details work partially funded by the CPO overviewing a strong agreement in measurements of Earth’s energy imbalance by Argo Profiling Floats and …
