Swirling polar vortices likely exist on the Sun, new research finds
Like the Earth, the Sun likely has swirling polar vortices, according to new research led by the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR). But unlike on Earth, the formation and evolution of these vortices are driven by magnetic fields.

A school of new data about how climate impacts fisheries
NSF NCAR scientists have linked together multiple state-of-the-art computer models to create a detailed picture of how conditions in the atmosphere affect the ocean; how the ocean, in turn, affects the growth of phytoplankton and zooplankton; and finally, how the small fish that eat zooplankton (and the bigger fish that eat them) are impacted.
