Climate change itself is increasingly fueling climate change. Rising concentrations of greenhouse gases are driving up global ...

Warming near Earth’s surface and cooling high in the atmosphere form a distinctive pattern. Scientists predicted that combination decades ago, and increasingly detailed observations now help ...

Climate models are complex, just like the world they mirror. They simultaneously simulate the interacting, chaotic flow of Earth's atmosphere and oceans, and they run on the world's largest ...

Satellite image provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows Hurricane Melissa churning northwest through the Caribbean Sea. The Category 5 hurricane is a recent example of ...

Changes in rainfall within global monsoon regions affect the livelihoods of billions. For years, climate models have suggested that the fingerprint of human-caused climate change on monsoons would ...

A study describes a new computer algorithm which can be applied to Earth System Models to drastically reduce the time needed to prepare these in order to make accurate predictions of future climate ...

Climate change is already shaping our wellbeing. It affects mental health, spreads infectious diseases, disrupts work, damages food supplies and forces families to leave their homes because of ...

Fifty years into the project of modeling Earth’s future climate, we still don’t really know what’s coming. Some places are warming with more ferocity than expected. Extreme events are taking ...
