The AMOC, a system of ocean currents influencing weather patterns globally and responsible for the mild European climate shows signs of stability loss The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) may have been losing stability in the course of the last … Continued
We know anthropogenic climate change will increase the probability of extreme weather events. But how much and in which regions? Valerio Lucarini and Vera Melinda Galfi demonstrate in Physical Review Letters that it is possible to estimate the probability of … Continued
The result is encouraging as the Indian monsoon might become less regular due to future global warming The onset of the Indian summer monsoon has been predicted three months ahead for the last 40 years with the highest precision up … Continued
Tipping found in models of the Gulf Stream and North American mid-latitude wind systems add to the growing concern that anthropogenic climate change might be abrupt and irreversible Two model studies document the probability of climate tipping in Earth subsystems. … Continued
“Future climate change shaped by inter-model differences in Atlantic meridional overturning circulation response” by Katinka Bellomo, Michela Angeloni, Susanna Corti and Jost von Hardenberg from the National Research Council of Italy, Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (CNR-ISAC), Turin, Italy … Continued
The accuracy of climate predictions depends crucially on how the ocean circulation of the North Atlantic is incorporated into climate models, a TiPES-study shows Thirty state-of-the-art IPCC-climate models predict dramatically different climates for the Northern Hemisphere, especially Europe. An analysis … Continued
New theoretical insights provide a physically sound understanding of machine learning-based simplified climate models Machine learning, when used in climate science builds an actual understanding of the climate system, according to a study published in the journal Chaos by Manuel … Continued
An analysis of the melt situation on the Central-Western Greenland ice sheet reveals clear signs of tipping Data from the Jakobshavn drainage basin of the Central-Western Greenland ice sheet reveals the distinct mark of this part of the ice sheet … Continued
Identifying tipping points in the Earth System is crucial for understanding the consequences of climate change. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM)and part of the TiPES project have discovered a universal mathematical structure at tipping points. It creates … Continued
Congratulations to Anna von der Heidt of Utrecht University who today received the Dutch Research Council, NWO’s Vici grant worth 1.5 million Euros. “A reliable risk assessment of abrupt climate change under the current global warming is urgently needed. For … Continued
