Heat waves could increase substantially in size by mid-century, says new study Heat waves could increase substantially in size by mid-century, says new study Our planet has been baking under the sun this summer as temperatures reached the hottest ever recorded and heat waves spread across the globe. While the climate continues to warm, scientists expect the frequency and... Monday, October 7, 2019 0 4705
Unprecedented 2018 Bering Sea ice loss repeated in 2019 Unprecedented 2018 Bering Sea ice loss repeated in 2019 During winter 2018 the sea ice in the Bering Sea reached record-low levels thanks to persistent warm southerly winds. These conditions caused the ice to retreat to the northern reaches of the 800,000 square mile body... Wednesday, August 14, 2019 0 0
Soot from massive 2017 fire clouds persisted in stratosphere for months Soot from massive 2017 fire clouds persisted in stratosphere for months A sooty cloud generated by a 2017 firestorm provided an ideal opportunity for researchers to test a climate model that simulated the lifetime of that soot in the stratosphere.
