The climate is enormously complex. We should see the first day 2°C warmer than the same day in the pre-industrial period as a stark warning – but not as a sign to give up.
What happens to eddies? Like atmospheric systems, these are effectively heat engines. They transport heat to new areas as they whirl in the ocean.
“Over a lot of places, hail-prone days have decreased, but in some places they have significantly increased."
We hope to better understand how our oceans are changing using what we observe in space, at sea — and in the playground.
By far the biggest contributor to the overall +1.7°C global temperature anomaly is human-caused climate change.
Climate scientist Dr Kim Reid speaks to Al Jazeera about 2023's broken records.
Understanding the role of climate change behind costly or deadly impacts allows for mitigation and response systems such as building codes or public health resources to be sufficiently bolstered, particularly as the risk of impacts increases.
This week, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) announced that an El Niño has been declared and is underway in Australia.
New science as Australia heads into an El Niño period.
The strength of the Pacific Walker Circulation is a major part of what determines if we are in a La Niña or El Niño period.
