A new study published in the Journal of Climate reveals how surface warming in Antarctica, particularly over the Antarctic Peninsula, is significantly altering the stability of the lowest layers of ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new way to trace the journey of water across the planet by reading tiny atomic clues hidden inside it. Slightly heavier versions of hydrogen and oxygen, called ...

Han’s team estimates that the area covered by salty seawater in this Southern Indian Ocean region has shrunk by about 30% over the past 60 years. They describe it as the fastest freshening seen ...

The southern Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia is becoming less salty at an astonishing rate, largely due to ...

Scientists have long used isotopes in water molecules to study where atmospheric moisture comes ...

The Pacific Ocean is warming so quickly that scientists had to find a new method for detecting and predicting El Niño and La ...

Climate change is speeding up the destruction of nitrous oxide in the stratosphere, introducing uncertainty into future greenhouse gases level.

The latest climate forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shows that an El Niño climate pattern is on track to arrive midway through hurricane season — a pattern that ...

A look at what we know and don't yet know about how climate change could affect the paths of these storms — and the all-important question of how often they'll make landfall.

Climate change makes nitrous oxide disappear faster, creating new uncertainty for future climate and ozone predictions.

Last September, I traveled to this far north outpost as part of a research team from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

The Amazon rainforest actively generates its own rainfall through a vital moisture recycling process. Trees release vast amounts of water vapor, creating 'flying rivers' that sustain ecosystems and ...
