Earth Sciences Climatology

A new statistical technique could be used to more accurately locate global wind resources.

Quantitative analysis has evidenced the acceleration system of melting ice: dark water surfaces absorb more heat than white ice surfaces, thus melting ice and making more water surfaces in the Arctic Ocean.

Researchers have found evidence that near-ground biogenic emissions of organics suppress cloud formation in cool-temperate forests in autumn, providing clues to how global warming will affect cloud formation and the overall climate.

Modeling leads to a better understanding of the role El Niño plays in increasing rainfall along the Red Sea coast.

A systematic approach to selecting and configuring statistical models improves predictions of extreme events.

A new analysis of an ice core from Dome Fuji in Antarctica, along with climate simulation results, shows a high degree of climate instability within glacial periods with intermediate temperatures.

Ocean currents affect how climate change impacts movements of species to cooler regions.
