ITHACA, N.Y. – More than merely cracks in the ice, crevasses play an important role in circulating seawater beneath Antarctic ice shelves, potentially influencing their stability, finds Cornell ...

The circulation of the atmosphere is characterized by features such as polar fronts, mid-latitude jet streams (fast-flowing narrow air currents) and a tropical meridional (north–south) overturning ...

Ocean-atmosphere coupling, the exchange in energy between the ocean and atmosphere, influences teleconnection patterns, the climate effects across vast geographical areas. However, its impact outside ...

Dynamical mechanisms for the summer Eurasian circulation trend pattern are investigated by analyzing reanalysis data and conducting numerical model simulations. The daily circulations that resemble ...

The upper panel illustrates how ENSO influences the equatorial Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and how these two ocean basins in turn feed back to ENSO. On the right side of the panel, the schematic shows ...
