Find out more about available formats and browse any associated online resources. An engaging, comprehensive, richly illustrated textbook about the atmospheric general circulation, written by leading ...

New modeling research reveals that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is particularly vulnerable to ...

As warm air rises and cold air sinks it forms three atmospheric circulation cells north of the equator and three to the south. These circulation cells move over land and sea to redistribute the ...

The air above the poles is cold. The cold air sinks creating high pressure. The air moves towards the equatorial low-pressure zone, and warms up when it meets the land or ocean. At around 60 ...

This study reveals that variability in sea surface temperature in key oceanic surface currents has a distinct and robust influence on the local atmospheric circulation, affecting precipitation and ...

Physical principles fundamental to the theoretical, observational, and experimental study of the atmosphere and oceans; the equations of motion for rotating fluids; hydrostatic and Boussinesq ...

Several southern districts of Tamil Nadu will experience rainfall today, while a few northern districts will see isolated ...

Atmospheric rivers have been making landfall further and further north in recent decades. Now scientists have figured out why.

Temperatures at the equator tend to run hotter, and just like in grade-school science lessons, hotter temperatures cause water to evaporate into the atmosphere. Warmer air can also hold more water ...

The researchers found what they describe as variability in SSTs and their influence on local atmospheric circulation, which has an impact on precipitation amounts and the vertical rise and fall of ...
