Researchers have long been puzzled by the observed cooling of the eastern tropical Pacific and the Southern Ocean accompanying global warming. Existing climate models have failed to capture this ...

The cloud fraction diurnal variation (CDV) regulates the Earth system’s radiative budget and balance, influencing atmospheric variables such as temperature and humidity, as well as physical processes ...

When clouds meet clear skies, cloud droplets evaporate as they mix with dry air. A new study has succeeded in capturing what happens in a model. Ultimately, this could lead to more accurate climate ...

PARTNER CONTENT Scientists say the global climate crisis is continuing to intensify, and managing the situation requires increasingly innovative solutions. While governments wrestle with setting new ...

Climate models are essential tools for understanding our planet's future, helping scientists predict global warming patterns, sea level rise, and extreme weather events. These sophisticated computer ...

Stratocumulus clouds form large carpets in the sky covering approximately 20% of the earth’s surface. They reflect around 40% of the sun’s radiation back into space. The international research team ...

From the deck of an enormous research ship, surrounded by icebergs, Chelsea Bekemeier releases a tethered balloon into the air. She's standing in temperatures well below freezing, stationed deep in ...

A Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)-led effort that performed an unprecedented global climate model simulation on the world’s first exascale supercomputer has won the first-ever ...

Despite the fact that clouds envelop two-thirds of the planet at any given time, transport water on the wind, and shield the Earth from the sun, surprisingly little is known about how climate change ...
