North Atlantic spring storms have grown more common since 1940, analysis reveals

North Atlantic spring storms have grown more common since 1940, analysis reveals Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Storm Dave, which swept across northern Europe over the Easter weekend, is an example of what new research from the University of Gothenburg has revealed. Spring storms forming over the North Atlantic have become more common than they were 80 years ago, and this is due to climate change. In the Northern Hemisphere, storm seasons follow a seasonal cycle.

Antarctic 'sky rivers' deliver up to 90% of snowfall, 3D algorithm suggests

Antarctic 'sky rivers' deliver up to 90% of snowfall, 3D algorithm suggests Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Atmospheric rivers act like "rivers in the sky," shuttling intense bands of warm, heavy moisture from lower to higher latitudes. When an atmospheric river encounters cold air or mountainous terrain, the moisture it carries condenses and falls as heavy rain or snow. In Antarctica, the arrival of an atmospheric river can help build surface ice mass.

Buoys track ocean waves across 14,000 km, from storms in Antarctica to ripples in Alaska

Buoys track ocean waves across 14,000 km, from storms in Antarctica to ripples in Alaska Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor For the first time, mighty ocean waves generated in the Southern Ocean have been accurately measured all the way to the tiny ripples they form on the shores of Alaska. Professor Ian Young, from the University of Melbourne's Department of Infrastructure Engineering, is lead author on a landmark study that analyzed data from 300 drifting ocean buoys...

Mysterious 'cold blob' in the Atlantic is a sign of the Gulf Stream weakening — and that's bad news for the US East Coast

Mysterious 'cold blob' in the Atlantic is a sign of the Gulf Stream weakening — and that's bad news for the US East Coast The Atlantic's enigmatic "cold blob" has once again been linked to a weakening of key ocean currents and a devastating climate tipping point. A mysterious "cold blob" in the Atlantic Ocean is a sign that key ocean currents are weakening, a new study has found, with potentially devastating long-term impacts on our climate and weather. The cold blob, or North Atlantic...

Mysterious ‘cold blob’ in the Atlantic suggests the AMOC is weakening

Over the past 150 years, Earth’s entire surface has been warming, except for one patch of the north Atlantic. Located south-east of Greenland, this area has cooled by as much as 1°C and is known as the “warming hole” or the “cold blob”. Scientists have been split over why this cold blob exists, but the latest evidence backs up the idea that it is caused by a weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), the system of currents that transports warmth from the tropics to...

Mount Etna eruptions reveal carbon dioxide and water can trigger separate explosive paths

Mount Etna eruptions reveal carbon dioxide and water can trigger separate explosive paths Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The plumbing systems of volcanoes are vast and complex. But they aren't consistent, even in the same volcano. A Cornell-led collaboration found very different mechanisms behind two historic eruptions of Mount Etna in Italy.

Rocket launches and reentries harm Earth's ozone layer

Rocket launches and reentries harm Earth's ozone layer Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor The space industry is surging. In coming years, nearly 10,000 spacecraft are slated to launch into low-Earth orbit for a variety of purposes, such as global surveillance, space tourism, and satellite "megaconstellations" providing internet service. Rocket engine exhaust, as well as the burnup of inactive satellites and rocket parts reentering Earth's atmosphere, releases a suite of...
