Scientists have presented a model that elucidates the chain of physical processes driving interannual Hadley cell expansion in the Northern Hemisphere. The Hadley circulation is a key atmospheric ...

An international team of scientists found that volcanic eruptions can cause the Pacific Walker Circulation to temporarily weaken, inducing El Niño-like conditions. The results provide important ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...
