Around the world, from the surface waters to the seafloor, our oceans are warming, and we are beginning to adapt to and prepare for this change in our climate.
A post for map geeks. How to turn an animation of a year's worth of daily rain maps into a single picture.
While much is understood about greenhouse gas contributions to surface warming, less is understood about impacts on ocean circulation. A new study uses a climate model to quantify the role of changes to the wind-driven ocean circulation onto global air temperature warming.
For over 20 years, a fleet of almost 4,000 Argo floats have measured ocean temperature and salinity across the globe. The eventual plan calls for floats to be evenly spaced across the global oceans, but a new study examines whether uniform spacing is the most effective float configuration.
Among the most important summer climate events in the Northern Hemisphere, the South Asian summer monsoon affects more than a billion people. A new study measures how changes in global mean surface temperature will affect the monsoon.
As human-caused climate change disrupts weather patterns around the world, one overarching question is the subject of increased scientific focus: how it will affect one of the world’s dominant ...
The capacity for moisture in the air usually increases with temperature, but humidity unexpectedly decreased in the southwest from 1970-2019, effectively drying the air during the summer forest fire season.
A new study finds that data assimilation in Tropical Pacific models can improve predictions of sea surface temperature, but may not benefit predictions of mixed layer depth.
