Researchers have long been puzzled by the observed cooling of the eastern tropical Pacific and the Southern Ocean ...

We've been watching temperatures climb, extreme weather events intensify, and ice sheets shrink. Every weather forecast and climate projection relies on incredibly complex computer simulations that ...

Climate scientists are confronting a hard truth: some of the most widely used models are struggling to keep up with the pace and texture of real‑world warming. The physics at their core remains sound, ...

Computer simulations reveal that spraying sea salt aerosols may keep global temperatures near 2020 levels as air pollution falls—but may also redraw regional weather patterns.

Leipzig. Over the next few years, climate researchers from Germany aim to achieve a breakthrough in the radiative properties of clouds by describing the corresponding processes not just ...

Clouds are important for Earth's energy balance because they interact with radiation in different ways. On one hand, low clouds reflect incoming solar radiation and thus cool Earth through a property ...
