Pacific climate variability is driven by coupled processes between the ocean and the atmosphere across a spectrum of temporal scales, from interannual events such as El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO ...

Soil moisture–atmosphere feedback (SAF) is expected to accelerate warming in the future, but its influences on the terrestrial water cycle over non-traditional hotspots of land–atmosphere coupling ...

As a potentially historic El Niño builds in the Pacific, evidence suggests that climate change is ratcheting up the intensity ...

Dryland ecosystems cover 40% of the Earth's land surface and support more than 2 billion people. According to a new study ...

Clouds influence the climate by controlling how much sunlight reaches Earth and by absorbing and emitting heat. Over the ...

Climate scientists are confronting a hard truth: some of the most widely used models are struggling to keep up with the pace and texture of real‑world warming. The physics at their core remains sound, ...

Climate is constantly changing and will continue to do so; we cannot assume a stable climate system even in the absence of anthropogenic influences. Such variability manifests itself over a continuum ...

Scientists are still unraveling the relationship between El Niño and human-driven warming, but new research suggests they are troublingly linked.

The current El Niño could reach "very strong" levels, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center has said. "There is a 69% chance of a historic event that would ...

Chennai, Sep 16 (PTI) IIT Madras researchers have developed an integrated framework to assess climate change impacts on India’s coast and identify practical adaptation measures to protect ...

The effects of climate change can have extensive impacts on agriculture and farmers. Growing seasons have been getting longer with more extreme temperatures. Precipitation patterns have been changing, ...
