Over the past two decades, satellite-based planetary observations have recorded rapid mass loss of Patagonian glaciers, ...

The Walker circulation, an atmospheric circulation pattern ... Some of the climate system's responses to global warming are ...

These are: (a) solar heating of the planet balanced by energy loss to space; (b) atmosphere ... and a return of water to the upper ocean circulation system. Upwelling isn't the only way out ...

affecting the global climate system. The oceans act as a carbon sink, absorbing a significant amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. A disruption in circulation could reduce this capacity ...

Scientists are worried because they can’t fully explain the big jump, but they think it might mean that carbon absorption by forests, fields and wetlands is slowing down—a major problem for the world.

The Hadley circulation, a fundamental component of Earth's atmospheric system, plays a crucial role in global climate regulation by transporting energy and moisture between the tropics and higher ...

As a result, the North Atlantic could be flooded with freshwater which would weaken the global ocean circulation ... of the Earth's climate system -- atmosphere, ocean, land and ice.

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 ...

This process maintains the global energy balance. Scientists have studied atmospheric circulation and have agreed on a simplified model to explain the redistribution of energy from areas of ...

Shawn Brueshaber (he/him/his) is a planetary atmospheric scientist and member of the Juno Science Team researching the atmospheric dynamics of the Solar System’s giant planets using global circulation ...
