Ribbons of water vapor called atmospheric rivers wind through the troposphere, moving the planet’s moisture from near the equator toward the poles. These aerial waterways are responsible for about 20% ...

Confidence in science has become increasingly fragmented in the United States across our polarized political spectrum. And overall, the American public is showing declining trust in experts and ...

The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a natural climate phenomenon driven by interactions between the ocean and atmosphere in the tropical Pacific. In recent decades, major advances in observing ...

Long-term weather forecasting is a difficult task, partly because weather systems are inherently chaotic. Though mathematical equations can approximate the underlying physics of weather, tiny ...

The effects of topography on the distribution and movement of water on Earth have been observed throughout history. And while many scientific advances are well-documented, there are no summaries of ...
