The near-surface southerly wind is a key feature of East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) circulation, and a stronger EASM circulation leads to a northward shift of East Asian rainfall. Almost all climate models show an enhanced EASM circulation in a warmer climate, and previous studies attributed the enhanced EASM to the enhanced zonal land-sea thermal contrast.

An international team of scientists has shown it is possible to breed cattle to reduce their methane emissions.

A first-ever global analysis of cave drip waters has shown where stalagmites can provide vital clues towards understanding past rainfall patterns.

For those inclined, it’s the season for a cold, refreshing gin and tonic. 

The positive-phase of Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) can indeed cause Eurasian summer nonuniform warming, according to Prof. LI Shuanglin, Dean of Atmospheric Science at the University of Geosciences (Wuhan) and Executive Vice-Director at the Climate Change Research Center, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, and one of the authors of a recently published study in Advances of Atmospheric Sciences. 

Hurricane Barbara continued to track west through the Eastern Pacific Ocean when NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite passed overhead on July 4.

For Ben Pelto, a study in glacier changes compares to a bank account.

A group of international scientists, including a team from the University of Southampton, have today published their research arguing that current assessments of climate change risks need to take into account what is already being experienced rather than rely only on modelled predictions.

The best way to protect corals threatened by climate change is to conserve a wide range of their habitats, according to a study in Nature Climate Change.

Most of the West Coast of the United States relies on a healthy winter snowpack to provide water through the dry summer months.
