A combination of atmospheric measurements and fine-scale simulations has improved understanding of the modeling anomalies that arise when the model resolution approximates the length scale of turbulence features — an atmospheric simulation problem known as Terra Incognita.

Ancient Oak Trees to Shed Light on the Climate of the Past 4500 Years
Researchers will soon be able to reconstruct the climate of north-west Europe including the UK over the last 4500 years, and to date wooden buildings and objects more accurately, by analysing the chemistry of ancient oak trees, through a new Swansea-led project just selected for €3 million in European funding.
Research Examines Keys to Developing Better Batteries
It doesn’t come on fast. It may take weeks to notice. You have the newly recharged lithium-ion AA batteries in the wireless kitty water fountain, and they last two days.
Environmental Helicity May Affect the Outer-Core Size of Tropical Cyclones
The outer-core size of tropical cyclones (TCs) is vital for evaluating their destructive potential.
Global Warming Accelerates the Water Cycle, With Relevant Climatic Consequences
According to a new study led by the ICM-CSIC, this could lead to a destabilisation of the global climate system, an intensification of storms in specific areas, and an acceleration of ice melting at the poles.
Risk of Intense Tropical Cyclones Will Double by 2050
Human-caused climate change will make strong tropical cyclones twice as frequent by the middle of the century, putting large parts of the world at risk, according to a new study published in Scientific Advances.
