Climate models are complex, just like the world they mirror. They simultaneously simulate the interacting, chaotic flow of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, and they run on the world’s largest ...

More bad news for the ocean current at the center of the fictional (and scientifically inaccurate) "Day After Tomorrow" ...

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 ...

A key Atlantic Ocean current system that helps regulate the planet's climate could weaken more than expected by 2100, with ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)—a major transporter of heat to the north Atlantic and northwestern Europe—is unlikely to collapse this century, according to new research. The ...

NOAA’s April 2026 forecasts reveal a wide gap between projections for the upcoming El Niño, with one model suggesting a peak near +2.1°C — matching past 'super' events — and another closer to +1.2°C.

Right now, the world’s best weather forecast model is a General Circulation Model, or GCM, put together by the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. A GCM is in part based on code that ...

Scientists now believe that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation could slow much sooner than expected. We will take a look at what this is and what the slowdown could mean for the globe.

New research provides alarming evidence this ocean circulation is slowing and could be heading toward a shutdown, which would ...

A new system for forecasting weather and predicting future climate uses artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve results comparable with the best existing models while using much less computer power, ...
