A new study led by the University of Oxford and ETH Zurich reveals that a key part of the climate system—the large-scale wind ...

Climate models are complex, just like the world they mirror. They simultaneously simulate the interacting, chaotic flow of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, and they run on the world’s largest ...

More bad news for the ocean current at the center of the fictional (and scientifically inaccurate) "Day After Tomorrow" ...

Models, by definition, are approximations: useful, informative, and inevitably incomplete, because they are the only way to simplify a world too complex to grasp all at once. A new study on nitrous ...

Right now, the world’s best weather forecast model is a General Circulation Model, or GCM, put together by the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. A GCM is in part based on code that ...

Patagonia’s glaciers have been shrinking faster than ever over the past two decades, and the reasons go far beyond simple warming. New research shows a deeper, long-term shift in the atmosphere is to ...

A key Atlantic Ocean current system that helps regulate the planet's climate could weaken more than expected by 2100, with ...

A machine learning model capable of both accurate weather predictions and climate simulations was published in Nature this week. The model, named NeuralGCM, outperforms some existing weather and ...

New research provides alarming evidence this ocean circulation is slowing and could be heading toward a shutdown, which would ...

A new system for forecasting weather and predicting future climate uses artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve results comparable with the best existing models while using much less computer power, ...
