These linkages may be important in assessing the regional effects of future climate change. (2009-11-30) Climate studies to benefit from 12 years of satellite aerosol data Aerosols, very small particles suspended in the air, play an important role in the global climate balance and in regulating climate change. (2009-11-11) Do dust particles curb climate change? A knowledge gap exists in the area of climate research: for decades, scientists have been asking themselves whether, and to what extent man-made aerosols, that is, dust particles suspended in the atmosphere, enlarge the cloud cover and thus curb climate warming. (2009-10-07) Water in a changing climate New research announced at the international Water in a changing climate science conference in Melbourne 24-28 August, implicates pollution from Asia, Europe and North America as a contributor to recent Australian rainfall changes. (2009-08-27) Scientists expect wildfires to increase as climate warms in the coming decades As the climate warms in the coming decades, atmospheric scientists at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and their colleagues expect that the frequency of wildfires will increase in many regions. (2009-07-29) Solar cycle linked to global climate Establishing a key link between the solar cycle and global climate, research led by scientists at the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo., shows that maximum solar activity and its aftermath have impacts on Earth that resemble La Niña and El Niño events in the tropical Pacific Ocean. (2009-07-17) Solar cycle linked to global climate, drives events similar to El Nino, La Nina Establishing a key link between the solar cycle and global climate, new research led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) shows that maximum solar activity and its aftermath have impacts on Earth that resemble La Nina and El Nino events in the tropical Pacific Ocean. (2009-07-17) Troubled waters: Low Apalachicola River flow may hurt gulf fisheries Reductions in the flow of the Apalachicola River have far-reaching effects that could prove detrimental to grouper and other reef fish populations in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, according to a new Florida State University study that may provide new ammunition for states engaged in a nearly two-decade water war. (2009-06-22) Fast and cheap forecasting system for Mediterranean cyclones The Mediterranean region is a very active cyclone area, and is often affected by these atmospheric phenomena, which bring strong winds and heavy rain. (2009-05-27) The Agulhas Current, in the southern hemisphere, may influence climate in Europe Her PhD thesis "Surface and Deep Circulation off South Africa: Agulhas Leakage Influence on the Meridional Overturning Circulation During the Last 345 kyr" presented data on a major ocean current in the southern hemisphere, the Agulhas Current, which transports warm waters from the tropical Indian Ocean to the southern tip of Africa.
