The southern Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia is becoming less salty at an astonishing rate, largely due to ...
Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...
Atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) are derived estimates of wind velocity obtained by tracking the motion of identifiable features, most commonly cloud elements, in sequential satellite imagery. The ...
Researchers have created a dataset of the whole atmosphere, enabling new research to be conducted on previously difficult-to-study regions. Using a new data-assimilation system called JAGUAR-DAS, ...
Climate change is rapidly freshening one of Earth’s saltiest ocean regions in the Southern Indian Ocean, potentially disrupting circulation.
What is wind? Where does it come from, and why does it blow? Why are storm winds so strong? Are winds on other planets like they are on Earth? Read on for answers to these "blue-sky" questions and ...
Wind shear is defined as the change in wind speed, wind direction, or both, over some distance. You may have heard airplane pilots talk about turbulence and warn passengers that they’re in for a bumpy ...
