A new study led by the University of Oxford and ETH Zurich reveals that a key part of the climate system—the large-scale wind ...

The circulation of the atmosphere is characterized by features such as polar fronts, mid-latitude jet streams (fast-flowing narrow air currents) and a tropical meridional (north–south) overturning ...

Tropical cyclones can unleash extensive devastation, as recent storms that swept over Jamaica and the Philippines made unmistakably clear. Accurate weather forecasts that buy more time to prepare are ...

Scientists have presented a model that elucidates the chain of physical processes driving interannual Hadley cell expansion in the Northern Hemisphere. The Hadley circulation is a key atmospheric ...

Dynamical mechanisms for the summer Eurasian circulation trend pattern are investigated by analyzing reanalysis data and conducting numerical model simulations. The daily circulations that resemble ...

Ocean-atmosphere coupling, the exchange in energy between the ocean and atmosphere, influences teleconnection patterns, the climate effects across vast geographical areas. However, its impact outside ...
