Han’s team estimates that the area covered by salty seawater in this Southern Indian Ocean region has shrunk by about 30% over the past 60 years. They describe it as the fastest freshening seen ...

Fast-flowing jetstream air currents have shifted further southwards, dragging rain-bearing weather away from Australia.

Rainfall is often treated as a gift of geography — a function of latitude, oceans, and atmospheric circulation. A growing body of research suggests that in the tropics, it is also a product of ...

A new study published in the Journal of Climate reveals how surface warming in Antarctica, particularly over the Antarctic Peninsula, is significantly altering the stability of the lowest layers of ...

Researchers Present Blueprint for Joint Meteorology and Atmospheric Composition Program ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo used isotope-enabled ensemble modeling and 45 years of data to better trace ...

The Pacific Ocean is warming so quickly that scientists had to find a new method for detecting and predicting El Niño and La ...

But scientists say a warming world is throwing off this balance. As Arctic ice melts, freshwater enters the North Atlantic — making the ocean water less dense, so it is less likely to sink. As a ...

A new study shows that during the last two deglaciations, i.e., the transition from an ice age to the warm interglacial periods, meltwater from the Antarctic ice sheet intensified stratification in ...

Climate change is rapidly freshening one of Earth’s saltiest ocean regions in the Southern Indian Ocean, potentially disrupting circulation.

A powerful shift is unfolding deep beneath the Pacific. After months of La Niña dominance, ocean heat is rising fast and trade winds are faltering.

Scientists have developed a powerful new way to trace the journey of water across the planet by reading tiny atomic clues hidden inside it. Slightly heavier versions of hydrogen and oxygen, called ...
