Scientists have developed an artificially intelligent algorithm capable of beating climate scientists at predicting how and when different materials form ice crystals. The program -- IcePic -- could help atmospheric scientists improve climate change models in the future.

Exposure to extreme heat increases both chronic and acute malnutrition among infants and young children in low-income countries -- threatening to reverse decades of progress, new research finds.

Europe has been trapped under a long-lasting heat dome this summer, extending and significantly worsening the already severe and persistent drought across many parts of …

Between 15 and 17 July, Greenland’s north-western ice sheet lost 6 million tons of water per day. This exceptional melting was caused by exceptionally high …

The post The Greenland Ice sheet lost 18 billion tons of water in 3 days after unusually warm temperatures between July 15 and 17. Arctic Sea Ice extent is declining on its way to the September annual minimum by author Renato R. Colucci appeared first on Severe Weather Europe.

La Nina has entered its third cycle after defying its breakdown in the tropical Pacific Ocean. Cold anomalies are focused more on the central Pacific …

Passive day cooling is a promising technology for the sustainable reduction of energy consumption. Researchers have now created a test system with which the materials used for passive cooling can be reliably characterized and compared -- regardless of weather conditions and environmental conditions.

Changes in atmospheric density after sunset can cause hot pockets of gas called 'plasma bubbles' to form over the Earth's equator, resulting in communication disruptions between satellites and the Earth. New AI models are now helping scientists to predict plasma bubble events and create a forecast.

The good news is, pygmy blue whales appear to be thriving in the Indian Ocean. But not-so-good is that climate change may be threatening their food sources.

Researchers have established that the destruction of ozone over the Arctic in the spring causes abnormal weather throughout the northern hemisphere, with many places being warmer and drier than average -- or too wet.

Increases in three climate factors -- temperature, rainfall, and ocean warming -- predicted mosquito population growth in Sri Lanka for the next one to six months, according to a new study. The findings can inform the design and timing of programs to limit the spread of mosquito-borne diseases like dengue.

A new Atmospheric wave is now active over the tropics, spreading its influence on the weather patterns across North America and Europe. It will even …

The post July 2022 Weather Forecast: An Atmospheric wave is moving over the tropics, set to impact the weather patterns as we head deeper into the Summer by author Andrej Flis appeared first on Severe Weather Europe.

As it captivated people around the world, the January eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano gave scientists a once-in-a-lifetime chance to study how the atmosphere works, unlocking keys to better predict the weather and changing climate.

A new analysis of observed temperatures shows the Arctic is heating up more than four times faster than the rate of global warming. The trend has stepped upward steeply twice in the last 50 years, a finding missed by all but four of 39 climate models.

The imbalance of energy on Earth is the most important metric in order to gauge the size and effects of climate change, according to a new study.

A study reveals an unprecedented change in the fire regime in Europe which is related to climate change. The affected areas are in Southern, Central and Northern Europe but this historical change in Europe's fire regime is more intense in the Mediterranean area.

The eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai submarine volcano in January 2022 was one of the most explosive volcanic events of the modern era, a new study has confirmed.

New research highlights how the risk of wildfire is rising globally due to climate change -- but also, how human actions and policies can play a critical role in regulating regional impacts. The study shows that anthropogenic climate change is a 'push' factor that enhances the risk of wildfires globally.
