The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon exhibits in its sea surface temperature anomalies and associated fields with complicated spatiotemporal variations. Two main typical spatiotemporal patterns are known to be associated […]
Tropical cyclones (TCs), the generic name for typhoons, are among the most destructive natural hazards. It is important to understand how climate change affects TC frequency, to minimize human and […]
Wave interference between transient eddies and climatological stationary eddies is a key physical process that modulates heat and moisture transport by changing the large-scale circulation in the extratropics. The amplitude […]
The Hadley Cell (HC) changes from Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to preindustrial (PI) periods, and to the 23rd century under the extended concentration pathway 4.5 (ECP4.5) scenario are examined by […]
At the intersection of the Near East and Eurasia, the Armenian Highlands is a crucial region for the study of Pleistocene human dispersals. Indeed, the earliest fossil evidence of human […]
Satellite image-movies of clouds show an intricate variety of shapes of cloudy-areas moving around and changing constantly, on a multitude of spatial scales. Specifically, we see an organization of convection […]
Humans have released an overwhelming amount of pollutants that fundamentally alter global biogeochemical cycles, threaten public health, and affect ecosystem functioning, which intimately links with climate change. Managing chemical pollution […]
Phytoplankton dynamics has been shown to be predictable up to three years ahead in tropical and subtropical seas, while several studies indicate less predictability at higher latitudes. Whether this low […]
Taking the semiannual cycle of surface air temperature (SAT) into account in fitting the finer structure of the seasonal cycle, this study reveals the specific role of the semiannual cycle […]
Anthropogenic ocean warming and land ice melting is certain to cause regional sea level changes with societal impacts. Regional trends from climate models, however, poorly match the 30-year satellite record, […]
