While total fire counts and burned areas have declined globally, fires within the wildland-urban interface are on the rise, indicating a shift in fire dynamics.
Field work in Tulsa, Oklahoma, made several findings, including residents’ concerns about climate hazards combined with distrust of government, and a local government grappling with multiple environmental issues.
A new study focuses on land-atmosphere interactions affecting phenomena such as droughts, heatwaves, and rainfall patterns. High-frequency data from climate models support more detailed understanding.
A new scientific review highlights existing evidence suggesting that air pollutants, including aerosols and trace gases, can influence weather and climate systems through intricate interactions with meteorology and ecosystems.
New research shows that ocean dynamics like the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) tripole pattern and the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV) pattern play a critical role in enhancing sea-surface temperature variability.
While local government and community members are more aware of the importance of managing heat risk in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, few targeted initiatives currently address heat risk mitigation.
New research compares model simulations to satellite data to show that while a frequently used model captures some aspects of real cloud behavior, it struggles to accurately represent certain types of clouds, like those found closer to the Earth’s surface.
It’s been 50 years since the first attempt to forecast the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The initial prediction was incorrect, but it marked the beginning of a journey toward understanding and predicting one of Earth’s most influential climate phenomena.
Yes, but only to a small degree. This is the conclusion of a new research article published today in the journal Science Advances that authors have dubbed “intentional stratospheric dehydration.”
