Tropical cyclones pull energy from the ocean surface, typically cooling the sea surface temperature at the same time. A new study finds that intense rainfall under a cyclone reduces the sea surface cooling.
The excess carbon dioxide responsible for global warming also increases the acidity of seawater, challenging the growth and survival of oysters and other shellfish. A team led by researchers at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) is helping oyster growers and restoration specialists better manage their future responses to acidification in the Chesapeake Bay.
Scientists have long known that when common pollutants from traffic exhaust get cooked by the sun, they get transformed into ozone and particulates. But what happens when the sun goes down? A new analysis method assesses the influence of nighttime atmospheric chemistry on air quality and climate.
Scientists led by NOAA published an opinion piece in PNAS on geoengineering through marine cloud brightening (MCB). The piece proposes decarbonizing first, but beginning research on MCB, following six checkpoints.
Scientists have released plans for an international effort to better predict of processes in the tropical Pacific and thereby better understand processes central to global weather and climate.
