For decades, scientists have worked to improve predictions of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a climate powerhouse that ...

Scientific models have predicted that climate change will drive oceans in the Northern Hemisphere to warm faster than oceans ...

The oceans play an important role in the earth’s climate; they transport heat from equator to pole, provide moisture for rain, and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Ocean models, such as this ...

A study claims the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation is weakening more than than once believed. Experts say its findings are far from the final word.

In the field of oceanography, researchers have been successful at simulating the ocean’s large-scale behavior but have struggled to capture smaller turbulent motions that play a key role in moving ...

Spider plot of one- and 10-day forecast (A) RMSE and (B) bias for YHGO and GLO12V4, normalized by the maximum value for each metric. Over 70% of the Earth is covered by oceans. Altogether, the Earth’s ...

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 ...
