Technique could help climate models sweat the small stuff
2016-06-04 23:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A team of physicists and mathematicians has come up with a statistical technique that puts the fine details back into computer simulations of large-scale phenomena like air circulation in the atmosphere and currents in the ocean. Computer models are generally good at capturing the big picture, but they are often forced to ignore things that happen at small scales. For example, models of a planet's atmosphere capture the large-scale dynamics of jets and airflows, but they don't include small-scale...

Alaska's Huge Climate Mystery - And Its Global Consequences

Washington Post: Alaska makes up 18 percent of the United States' total area, the state stores 53 per cent of all of the nation's carbon. In recent years, climate scientists have grown increasingly concerned about a carbon problem in the far north. The fear is that with the higher latitudes of the planet warming extremely rapidly, that heat itself, and some of its consequences - such as raging wildfires in northern forests - could unleash a climate disaster. Perennially frozen northern soils, known as permafrost,...
