Changes in winter sea-level pressure (SLP), and sea-surface temperature (SST) and near-surface winds induced by the seasonally ice-free Arctic. a Difference in SLP (hPa) between the time-slice-coupled model experiments with fixed Arctic sea ice during 2080–2099 (ICEp2) and during 1980–1999 (ICEhist). Contours outline the climatological Aleutian Low and Siberian High based on ICEhist. b Regression of changes in SST (color shaded, °C) and near-surface…

El Niño impacts plants, animals and people around the world by devastating Pacific fisheries,…

El Niño affects rainfall, fisheries in Peru, Chile, Ecuador, and climate change on the planet. Credit: UrFU / Ilya Safarov. Physicists and mathematicians of the Ural Federal University (UrFU) have calculated how external factors affect the behavior of the El Niño atmospheric and oceanic processes in the Pacific region. In the mathematical model, they accounted for wind, humidity, temperature, ocean currents, and other…

However, during the past few decades, the planet has been experiencing extraordinary wildfire activity, with widespread devastation in diverse places such as the Mediterranean, North and South America, Southeast Asia, Australia and even Siberia. The current year has already shown…
