East Antarctic summer cooling trends caused by tropical rainfall clusters
A new study identifies key linkages between rainfall occurring in the tropics and climate trends in Antarctica Our planet is warming due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions; but the warming […]
Future ocean warming boosts tropical rainfall extremes
Ocean warming predicted to cause a twofold increase in amplitude of rainfall fluctuations over the tropical Pacific The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the most energetic naturally occurring year-to-year variation […]
Expect fewer, but more destructive landfalling tropical cyclones
A study based on new high-resolution supercomputer simulations, published in this week’s issue of the journal Science Advances, reveals that global warming will intensify landfalling tropical cyclones of category 3 […]
Korean summer rainfall on steroids—is global warming to blame?
Over the past three months South Korea has experienced one of its most unusual East Asian summer monsoon (Changma) seasons since 1973. Torrential rains wreaked havoc across the country, causing […]
Future subtropical warming accelerates tropical climate change
In response to future fossil fuel burning, climate computer models simulate a pronounced warming in the tropicaloceans. This warming can influence the El Niño phenomenon and shift weather and rainfall patterns across […]
Ocean temperatures turbocharge April tornadoes over Great Plains region
New research, published in the journal Science Advances, has found that unusual ocean temperatures in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic can drastically increase April tornado occurrences over the Great Plains […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
