Mars is one of the most explored components of the solar system, yet there are always more discoveries to unveil on Earth's planetary neighbor. On Earth we are able to take direct measurements to ...

Basic circulation model indicates that increasing global wind power by 18-34 times from 1 Terawatt today will be like doubling atmospheric CO2. This would be counter to the stated goals of reducing ...

Oceanic submesoscale currents (SMCs) occur on an scale of 0.1–10 km horizontally and have a large influence on the oceanic variability and on ecosystems. At the mesoscale (10–250 km), oceanic thermal ...

The Pacific Ocean covers 32% of Earth's surface area. Its activity affects conditions around the globe. Periodic variations in the ocean's water temperature and winds, called the El Niño–Southern ...

As climate change advances, the ocean's overturning circulation is predicted to weaken substantially. With such a slowdown, scientists estimate the ocean will pull down less carbon dioxide from the ...

As global warming intensifies, extreme heat events are becoming more frequent and severe worldwide, and are increasingly occurring alongside air pollution to form compound heatwave–air pollution ...

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 ...

This artist's concept depicts a close-up of the protoplanet WISPIT 2b accreting matter as it orbits around its star, WISPIT 2. R. Hurt IPAC/NASA/JPL-Caltech For 15 years, astronomers trying to measure ...
