Q&A: How better climate data supports smarter environmental decisions
Q&A: How better climate data supports smarter environmental decisions Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Accurate measurements are the foundation of effective environmental management and decision-making. Through advanced monitoring networks and computer models, Ken Davis, professor of meteorology and atmospheric science in Penn State's College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, and his research group are helping scientists, communities, and policymakers better understand...
Climate scientists say heatwave misinformation is fuelling online harassment
Misleading claims about Europe's record heatwave in May have followed familiar climate-change denial narratives, as scientists say that misinformation can help fuel online hostility. A May heatwave across Europe has shattered temperature records and sparked a wave of familiar claims online that attempt to throw climate science into disrepute. One post on X, viewed thousands of times, claims that historic heatwaves, such as those in London in the summer of 1976 and in 1921, prove that the...
'The Real Scoreline' reveals the nations facing climate penalties
'The Real Scoreline' reveals the nations facing climate penalties Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor As nations prepare to compete on the global stage this summer, researchers at the University of Reading have created a different kind of scoreboard that shows where each country really stands on climate change. The Real Scoreline compares countries using six climate indicators—including emissions, fossil fuel dependence, heat stress, projected warming and net-zero...
UN warns world to prepare for El Nino extreme weather
UN warns world to prepare for El Nino extreme weather Andrew Zinin Lead Editor There is an 80% chance of the warming El Niño phenomenon developing between June and August, increasing the risk of extreme weather events, the World Meteorological Organization said Tuesday. "Fuelled by unusually warm ocean waters in the tropical Pacific, El Niño conditions are developing and are set to influence global temperature and rainfall patterns," the United Nations' WMO weather and climate agency said....
First-of-its-kind AI tool for translating life-saving weather warnings across the US advanced
First-of-its-kind AI tool for translating life-saving weather warnings across the US advanced Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Nearly 69 million people in the United States speak a language other than English at home, yet weather warnings have long been issued almost exclusively in English. A new study documents how the National Weather Service is using artificial intelligence to change that, developing a comprehensive translation program that delivers life-saving...
Distant climate patterns determine how cold Japan's winters become
Distant climate patterns determine how cold Japan's winters become Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Researchers have uncovered a key mechanism behind Japan's extreme winter weather, revealing how distant climate patterns interact to intensify cold waves and heavy snowfall. Extreme weather events—such as cold waves, heavy snowfall and anomalously warm periods—are ubiquitous during Japanese winters. These events are closely associated with shifts in the subtropical jet...
Amplified Arctic iceberg traffic reshapes benthic biodiversity
Abstract The Arctic is undergoing rapid warming, resulting in retreating sea ice and glaciers1, yet how cryospheric changes propagate into the deep ocean remains poorly understood2. Here we identify a climate-driven mechanism linking accelerating glacier disintegration to an increase in deep-sea hard-bottom habitats far beyond calving fronts. Seafloor observations in Fram Strait show a localized increase in the density and patchiness of dropstones delivered by debris-laden icebergs.
Coming El Niño will be the strongest ever recorded, new forecast predicts
Coming El Niño will be the strongest ever recorded, new forecast predicts A June update by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts suggests that the coming weather event will be the strongest ever measured. This year's brewing El Niño will likely become the strongest ever recorded, a new forecast warns. New predictions by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) suggest sea surface temperatures in a key region of the central equatorial Pacific Ocean will...
Attribution constraints reveal stronger future intensification of the upper‑level Hadley circulation
Attribution constraints reveal stronger future intensification of the upper‑level Hadley circulation Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The Hadley circulation, a key atmospheric conveyor belt transporting heat and moisture from the tropics to the subtropics, directly influences subtropical aridity, the positions of tropical rainfall belts, and extreme weather risks. However, climate models have long shown inconsistencies in simulating its upper-level intensity...
Cities are making it rain more—but not as much as scientists thought
Cities are making it rain more—but not as much as scientists thought Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor After another spell of wet weather along Australia's east coast, with storms, heavy rain and flash flooding across Sydney and parts of New South Wales, it is natural to ask whether our cities are shaping the rainfall that descends upon them. This matters because most people now live in cities. If urbanization changes rainfall, even slightly, the effects can reach large...
