Tiny marine plankton that build calcium carbonate shells play an outsized role in regulating Earth’s climate, quietly pulling carbon from the atmosphere and helping lock it away in the deep ocean. New ...

Large climate models have been running since the 1980s, simulating our home planet’s temperature and weather systems. Science, being the iterative process that it inherently is, has improved upon the ...

Earth's ocean absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to temper the impact of climate change but increasing ocean ...

Hybrid climate modeling has emerged as an effective way to reduce the computational costs associated with cloud-resolving ...

We've been watching temperatures climb, extreme weather events intensify, and ice sheets shrink. Every weather forecast and ...

Researchers created a detailed physical model that suggests a major Atlantic Ocean current will weaken far less under climate change than indicated by more extreme climate model projections. The ...

A storm rolling into the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico, a regional ocean, is hugged by the southeastern United States and a large stretch of the Mexican coast, making it very important for both ...

Nadir Jeevanjee works for NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, which is discussed in this article. The views expressed herein are in no sense official positions of the Geophysical Fluid ...

Uncertainty in climate models could mean Earth systems are perilously close to their tipping points, scientists warn.
