The Walker circulation, an atmospheric circulation pattern in the tropics, has accelerated in recent years, puzzling climate ...

The way climate change affects thermodynamic signals, such as atmospheric temperatures, is relatively well understood. Its effects on atmospheric circulation, however, are more complex because the ...

Physical processes with higher global monsoon simulation skill in CMIP6 than in CMIP5. The green shading represents the difference in local summer precipitation biases between CMIP6 and CMIP5. Global ...

Atmospheric rivers—the massive bands of water vapor that deliver crucial rainfall to regions worldwide—are steadily moving toward Earth's poles, a shift that could dramatically alter precipitation ...
