Hurricane Ian and Typhoon Noru strengthened quickly before landfall. NPR talks to AOS Faculty Member Gabriel Vecchi, deputy director of CIMES, about climate-fueled intensification.
How big are ocean currents? That question has been posed by generations of oceanographers, with partial answers available through measurements from ships, satellites, and numerical simulations. However, the answers were generally limited by methods used to decompose the kinetic energy of ocean currents according to their…
A new study focuses on the rapid growth of tropical cyclones and their destructive potential.
The potential destruction caused by the winds of tropical cyclones (TCs) depends on both intensity and size. A new study, co-authored by AOS Associate Research Scholar Shuai Wang, a CIMES researcher, introduces a…
Intense convection has profound consequences for weather and climate. However, it is still unclear how intense convection changes in a warmed climate because traditional climate models are too coarse to explicitly simulate it.
New research led by AOS…
Multidecadal variability of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has been reconstructed by various proxies, simulated in climate models, and linked to multidecadal Arctic salinity variability. However, the mechanisms of the multidecadal AMOC variability and its two-way interaction with the Arctic salinity anomaly, as well as the…
New research could help inform future studies of how the release of carbon dioxide from the Southern Ocean might affect global climate change.
In the Southern Ocean near Antarctica, deep-ocean water upwells to the surface, where it releases carbon dioxide that entered the ocean prior to the Industrial Revolution. This…
Congratulations to Houssam Yassin who successfully defended his Ph.D. Thesis, "The Geostrophic Turbulence of Boundary Buoyancy,” on August 11. Houssam accepted a postdoctoral associate position at the University of Maryland. We wish him continued success in this new endeavor!
