  2. NCAR’s new climate model is running hot

    A new study takes a detailed look at possible reasons why the latest version of the flagship climate model based at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) appears to be “running hot,” projecting an even more pronounced warming response to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than previous versions.

  4. A visualization of a solar tsunami based on a computer simulation

    ‘Terminators’ on the Sun trigger plasma tsunamis and the start of new solar cycles

    In a pair of new papers, scientists paint a picture of how solar cycles suddenly die, potentially causing tsunamis of plasma to race through the Sun’s interior and trigger the birth of the next sunspot cycle only a few short weeks later.

  5. 20-day forecast simulation with starting conditions that differed on the order of a thousandth of a degree of the control (Forecast vs Fake Reality) yielded drastically different results past six days.

    Confronting the unpredictable

    Even with the ideal computer model and nearly perfect observations, new research confirms what meteorologists have long thought: there's a limit to how far in advance we can forecast the weather.
