Airborne desert dust is doing more than just dirtying windshields, according to new work from UCLA researchers. Their study ...

Scientific models have predicted that climate change will drive oceans in the Northern Hemisphere to warm faster than oceans ...

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 ...

Hybrid climate modeling has emerged as an effective way to reduce the computational costs associated with cloud-resolving models while retaining their accuracy. The approach retains physics-based ...
