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 […]
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, […]
Poleward meridional heat transports are the fundamental driver of the inhomogeneous solar radiation absorption by the Earth’s climate system that sets the general circulation of the atmosphere and ocean in […]
The evolution of thermal anomalies in the ocean are key to climate fluctuations such as El Nino and longer term decadal variability. Away from the surface, the propagation of thermal […]
A third of CO2 released by burning fossil fuels since the industrial revolution has ended up in the ocean. The absorbed CO2 subsequently lowers the pH level, and the temperature of the […]
Midlatitude weather systems, such as extratropical cyclones, fronts, and their embedded thunderstorms are vital for the day-to-day variability of precipitation and winds. We have used a number of objective techniques to […]
