Researchers have long been puzzled by the observed cooling of the eastern tropical Pacific and the Southern Ocean ...

The ICON model can be used for weather forecasting as well as climate predictions and long-term projections. So far, however, the different applications have been developed separately. An initiative ...

The algorithms behind generative AI tools like DallE, when combined with physics-based data, can be used to develop better ways to model the Earth's climate. Computer scientists have now used this ...

Current global climate models (GCMs) support with high confidence the view that rising greenhouse gases and other ...

Models, by definition, are approximations: useful, informative, and inevitably incomplete, because they are the only way to simplify a world too complex to grasp all at once. A new study on nitrous ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Ian writes on fossil energies, climate, and transition to renewables. The recent Department of Energy Report, A Critical Review of ...

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 ...

Coastal and estuarine waters are among the most productive ecosystems on Earth, playing an essential role in maintaining ecological balance, supporting biodiversity, and fostering economic development ...
