Paris Agreement does not rule out ice-free Arctic
Research published in this week’s issue of Nature Communications reveals a considerable chance for an ice-free Arctic Ocean at global warming limits stipulated in the Paris Agreement. Scientists from South […]
Natural climate processes overshadow recent human-induced Walker circulation trends
A new study, published this week in the journal Nature Climate Change, shows that the recent intensification of the equatorial Pacific wind system, known as Walker Circulation, is unrelated to human […]
Sea ice as Pacemaker for Abrupt Climate Change
A recent study on ‘Sea ice variability in the southern Norwegian Sea during glacial Dansgaard-Oeschger climate cycles’ co-authored by Axel Timmermann, the Director of the IBS Center for Climate Physics […]
Oh, H., K.-J, Ha, and A. Timmermann featured as cover article of Journal of Geophysical Research (JGR): Atmospheres (27 August 2018)
A new study authored by ICCP researchers (PhD student Hyo-eun Oh, Prof. Kyung-Ja Ha and Director Axel Timmermann) and published in the Journal of Geophysical Research identifies key drivers for extreme monsoonal […]
Indian Ocean May Be More Disruptive to Tropical Climate Than Previously Believed
A new paper on “Glacial changes in tropical climate amplified by the Indian Ocean” co-authored by Axel Timmermann, director of the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP), has been published […]
Local Drivers of Amplified Arctic Warming
Long-term observations of surface temperatures show an intensified surface warming in Canada, Siberia, Alaska and in the Arctic Ocean relative to global mean temperature rise. This warming pattern, commonly referred […]
The Blueprint for El Niño Diversity
A new research study, published this week by an international team of climate scientists in the journal Nature, isolates key mechanisms that cause El Niño events to differ amongst each other. […]
