A new study, published in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters, investigates this issue by examining regional Hadley circulation intensity trends in the Northern Hemisphere across six key regions: ...

The air above the poles is cold. The cold air sinks creating high pressure. The air moves towards the equatorial low-pressure zone, and warms up when it meets the land or ocean. At around 60 ...

Figure 1: Brewer–Dobson circulation and stratospheric ozone. No one would question the benefit of a full representation of the stratosphere in an atmospheric model. But given limited ...

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 ...

Armed with that information, scientists are more focused than ever on creating a model that can predict ... it has far-reaching effects on atmospheric circulation and global climate.

New NIWA research has found that not only could the narrow bands of concentrated water vapour increase, but in the future ...

In addition to the ice cover loss in the Arctic, there are many other factors responding to greenhouse gas emissions and affecting the climate (atmospheric and oceanic feedbacks and circulation ...
