As the Arctic rapidly warms, the temperature difference between the polar region and lower latitudes decreases, which weakens ...

So last year, Chalif led a study that used machine learning to analyze climate records stretching back to 1901. The team ...

To understand what Americans are experiencing with this winter blast, we need to look more than 20 miles above the surface of ...

Tens of millions of people are in the path of a major winter storm. Federal cuts threaten efforts to understand the causes of such weather.

A warmer atmosphere has the potential to hold more moisture, which can contribute to heavier precipitation in any season, scientists say.

Climate scientists have long watched the jet stream with fascination and growing concern. These rivers of air racing across our planet at altitudes of roughly 5-9 miles dictate much of our day-to-day ...

A blast of winter cold doesn’t contradict climate change — it often reflects how a warming planet is making weather more ...

The sudden blast may have come as a shock to many after a mostly mild start to winter, but that warmth may have partly ...

Dartmouth researchers used machine learning and long-term climate records to construct a timeline of jet-stream variability since 1901. Nearly all prior studies of the jet stream focus on the period ...

The science behind the storm is an active area of study. Most of the US is bracing for a prolonged stretch of frigid weather and a massive winter storm that could wreak havoc on roads and power grids ...

In South America, southern Africa, Australia and Oceania, summer weather is heavily influenced by the Southern Hemisphere’s Eddy-Driven Jet (EDJ), a wind belt that flows between 1.3–1.5 kilometres ...
