James Ruppert recently sailed across the Atlantic Ocean for a month-long science cruise. Ruppert, a professor at the University of Oklahoma School of Meteorology, is a lead researcher on the PICCOLO project, one of eight sub-campaigns that make up the ORCESTRA campaign, an international cross-institution and multi-funding-sourced effort to better understand what atmospheric mechanisms influence tropical convection.

The interactions between global climate change and ocean oscillations – fluctuating cycles in wind and ocean temperatures – are impacting weather patterns in the Greater Mara-Serengeti ecosystem in Kenya and Tanzania, according to a new study led by Joseph Ogutu of the University of Hohenheim, Isaiah Obara of Freie Universität Berlin, and Holly Dublin of Wasaa Conservation Centre, published October 2 in the open-access journal PLOS Climate.

An Osaka Metropolitan University-led research team conducted perhaps the first long-term observation of CO₂ budget in a permafrost forest. During the 20 years from 2003-2022, the team uncovered intriguing findings in the interior of Alaska.

This model reveals how vastly different the atmosphere was on ancient Earth, and how life may have first emerged.

An international team of geoscientists led by a volcanologist at Rutgers University-New Brunswick has discovered that, contrary to present scientific understanding, ancient volcanoes continued to spew carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from deep within the Earth long past their period of eruptions.

The research team from Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) developed a statistical seasonal forecasting model (SYSU Model) to forecast the number of typhoon landfalls on Taiwan Island. The concise, open-source, and effective model utilizes four pre-typhoon-season environmental predictors to forecast the number of typhoons that will land on Taiwan Island by every mid-May. Benefiting from the comprehensive predictor selection method, the hit rate of the model reaches 98% for the period 1979–2022
