Observations from the Little Bunker

Abstract Transient atmospheric waves, which modulate the mid‐latitude storm tracks, are projected to intensify over most of the mid‐latitudes in Northern Hemisphere winter, but to emerge out of the internal...

Abstract The southward shift of anomalous westerlies from the equator to the south off‐equatorial areas plays a curtail role in demising El Niño, and was attributed to seasonal changes in...

Abstract Anthropogenic heat is a strong point source in urban areas, increasing temperature and exacerbating heat‐related health risks. While its impact on urban climate has been widely studied, a simple...

Abstract Heat waves (HWs), intensifying under climate change, critically modulate planetary boundary‐layer (PBL) turbulence through poorly constrained mechanisms. Leveraging unique radar wind profiler network measurements across three Beijing during the...

Abstract Observations of solar terminator waves (STWs) in thermospheric mass density (TMD) measurements above 500 km reveal STWs as dominant features of the upper thermosphere. While previous investigations have shown...

Abstract Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves are commonly observed in the Earth’s magnetosphere and play a significant role in regulating relativistic electron fluxes. The waveform of EMIC waves comprises amplitude‐modulated...

Austria and Slovenia are exceptions in continent where just a third of militaries even know their carbon footprintRevealed: Nato rearmament could increase emissions by 200m tonnes a yearCarbon footprint of...

Scientists drill for ice cores containing information on preindustrial pollutants, but they are in a race against timeHowling wind relentlessly shakes the white tent, pitched among mounds of snow at...

Abstract Low, marine clouds cool the Earth system, reflecting sunlight back to space. Low cloud response to environmental change is a key uncertainty in future climate projections. It is especially...

Abstract The flooding of rivers can be both beneficial and disastrous to society. As global climate change progresses, hazard mapping utilizing river models has become crucial for mitigating disastrous consequences....

Abstract The tectonic evolution of Sulawesi is shaped by complex subduction processes, yet the geometry and extent of its slabs remain debated. Using teleseismic P‐wave tomography, we present a new...

References to phantom studies comes after White House pledge to practice “gold standard” science

Halt to foreign “subawards” disrupts ongoing global studies and has researchers scrambling to fulfill ethical obligations to trial volunteers

Dig down about a mile or two in parts of the United States and you’ll start to see the remains of an ancient ocean. The shells of long dead sea...

Despite mounting evidence of global warming’s costs, the Trump administration has made multiple moves to avoid tracking climate-related economics.By Kiley PriceThe price of climate change is high—and the bill is...

New system yields sharp views of the Sun’s mysterious outer atmosphere

As the Annual Meetings of the African Development Bank (AfDB) took place this week in the Ivory Coast, civil society campaigners have been calling for the bank to stop funding...

While scientists have long studied currents of large eddies, the smaller ones – called submesoscale eddies – are notoriously difficult to detect. These currents, which range from several kilometers to...

Ozone pollution is a global environmental concern that not only threatens human health and crop production, but also worsens global warming. While the formation of ozone is often attributed to...
