response of ocean acidification to a range of emission scenarios. The models simulate ocean- atmosphere interactions, climate, ocean chemistry, and the complex feedbacks among them. The computer simula ...

tools, constantly updated with real-time data to characterize the current state of the atmosphere, help forecasters predict the track that hurricanes will follow. These tools have improved the accurac ...

monthly sea level anomaly predictions from multiple statistical and dynamical (coupled ocean- atmosphere) models, which are typically skillful out to at least 6 months in the tropical Pacific, improved ...

shows daily Arctic sea ice extent for every year since continuous satellite monitoring began in 1979. Each year, the extent line follows a similar path: starting high in January, rising through the ti ...

that also have a season-long influence. In addition, they need fine enough resolution in the atmosphere to capture small-scale variations in wind, rain, and clouds that make up the tropical cyclone st ...

misconception that the greenhouse effect is caused only by human activities linked to increased CO2. Comments from expert scientist: The scientific strengths are generally excellent because the messa ...

I mentioned above, stronger trade winds are key to the La Niña feedback between the ocean and atmosphere. The trade winds were enhanced through March, and remain stronger than average into mid-April. ...

of the indicators include various types of greenhouse gases; temperatures throughout the atmosphere, ocean, and land; cloud cover; sea level; ocean salinity; sea ice extent; and snow cover. Report hig ...

burned to the ground stood at 1,084. Dozens of businesses had also been damaged or destroyed. In terms of acreage burned, the Marshall Fire was dwarfed by many other blazes, including the state's thre ...

Niño. But, during El Niño years, the jet stream, a river of fast- moving winds high up in the atmosphere that serves as a storm highway, across the Pacific is extended farther south and east than norm ...
