The Polar vortex ‘spinning backward’ above the Arctic after a major reversal event triggers atmospheric upheaval, including an ozone spike, due to sudden stratospheric warming, impacting global weather patterns. Polar vortex reversal event causes atmospheric upheaval, including ozone spike, due to sudden stratospheric warming, potentially impacting global weather patterns. Following
Eunice Newton Foote was a pioneering scientist whose groundbreaking work laid the foundation for our understanding of the greenhouse effect. Born in Goshen, Connecticut, in 1819, she exhibited an insatiable curiosity and passion for science from an early age. In a time when opportunities for women in scientific pursuits were
A new study published in the journal Science has warned that El Nino could wipe out $3 trillion of the world’s economy. El Nino is on the horizon, which can lead to severe heat waves and droughts in many countries, including India, and could take a $3 trillion toll on
A recent climate reconstruction study reveals that the Arctic has been impacting India’s monsoon for at least 1,000 years.
According to Victor Gensini, a meteorology professor at Northern Illinois University, the reason why the US leads the world in weather catastrophes is due to the Gulf of Mexico and the elevated terrain to the west.
