Recent decades have seen rapid warming in the Arctic, known as Arctic amplification, which has impacted the Arctic's cryosphere and ecosystems and influenced global weather and climate through changes ...

PASADENA, Calif. A team of NASA and university scientists has detected an ongoing reversal in Arctic Ocean circulation triggered by atmospheric circulation changes that vary on decade-long time scales ...

Last September, I traveled to this far north outpost as part of a research team from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Arctic sea ice has large effects on the global climate. By cooling the planet, Arctic ice impacts ocean circulation, atmospheric patterns, and extreme weather conditions, even outside the Arctic ...

While, in theory, precipitation impacts the Earth's radiation budget, the radiative effects of precipitation (REP) are poorly understood and excluded from most climate models. Hence, a new study ...

When researchers set out to measure tiny plastic fragments in Arctic waters, they expected to find pollution that had drifted ...

Arctic sea ice helps cool the planet and influences weather patterns around the world, but it is disappearing faster than ever as the climate warms. Scientists have now developed a new forecasting ...

Earth’s oceans absorbed another record volume of heat in 2025, reinforcing a pattern that climate scientists say is accelerating ice loss in the Arctic and storing energy that will shape weather ...

There's a confounding dilemma for many folks trying to make sense of winter weather in the context of climate change.
