Northern peatlands could seriously complicate efforts to cool the planet, especially after a temporary overshoot of the 1.5°C global warming limit, according to new IIASA-led research.
A new study from some of the Pacific Northwest's top climate scientists synthesized more than 70 publications addressing the causes and consequences of the extreme heat wave in June 2021 and the potential for similar high-heat events to happen in the future.
An unexpectedly strong solar storm rocked our planet on April 23, 2023, sparking auroras as far south as southern Texas in the U.S. and taking the world by surprise.
Two days earlier, the Sun blasted a coronal mass ejection (CME) — a cloud of energetic particles, magnetic fields, and solar material — toward Earth. But the CME wasn’t especially fast or massive, suggesting the storm would be minor. But it became severe.
Using NASA heliophysics missions, new studies of this storm and others are helping scientists learn why some CMEs have more intense effects — and better predict the impacts of future solar eruptions on our lives.
Researchers extend classical CNOP method for deep learning forecasting models with multi-time-slice-input structure. It reveals when—not just where—input errors matter most in targeted observations. This improves forecasts for ocean-atmospheric variables, especially high-impact environmental events.
