The Hadley circulation, a fundamental component of Earth's atmospheric system, plays a crucial role in global climate ...

Solar energy enters the atmosphere. Equatorial regions get the most. There is more energy at the tropics than at the poles, creating an imbalance. As warm air rises and cold air sinks it forms ...

Earth is a dynamic planet, constantly undergoing change driven by internal and external forces. Currents of magma within our planet move the plates that form the continental crust in a constant ...

There are many reasons why we have a redistribution of energy. There is a surplus of energy at the tropics and a deficit in polar areas. Atmospheric and oceanic circulation redistributes this ...

Between 15,000 and 8,000 years ago, the Earth experienced significant climatic changes, including the rapid retreat of ice ...

One of Scripps's longest-running data centers, serving reference-quality hydrographic ocean data to an international community for over 20 years The Global Ocean Biogeochemical float program supports ...

Although the D-O climate cycles have now been found in many other climate proxy records around the globe (Voelker 2002), the reason why Earth's climate was so much more variable during the last ...

A new study analyzed nearly four decades of deep ocean observations to reveal significant cooling and freshening of deep ...

The study applied methods developed to explore Earth's atmosphere to quantitatively estimate the influence of gravity waves on Mars' planetary circulation.
