Atmospheric circulation encompasses the large-scale movement of air that redistributes heat, moisture and momentum across the globe, giving rise to characteristic cells, jets and weather systems. The ...

Dominant air circulation during heat waves. The team uncovered typical air circulation patterns during heat waves. In one, a high-pressure pattern extends over the islands, giving dry weather. In ...

University of Houston atmospheric science researchers have found that while local emissions play a role in the rise of ozone levels in Houston, most of the pollutants can be carried in from other ...

This study improves the understanding of circulation patterns associated with regional temperature trends by characterizing boreal summer temperature variability patterns in North America using ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have categorized a unique, previously unclassified type of heat wave in Japan, so-called "moist heat waves" which are accompanied by an approaching ...

A team of researchers at the Universities of Lincoln, Sheffield, and Reading have developed a new method to improve the prediction of seasonal weather conditions in the U.K. and Northwest Europe. The ...
