The Argo network of ocean-observing sensors is expected to pay its biggest dividends to climate researchers in the future after several decades’ worth of Argo data help them observe some of the ...

Associated Press — Around the globe, hotter temperatures stoked by climate change are increasing the odds of both severe drought and heavier precipitation that can wreak havoc on people and the ...

The global hydrological cycle is spinning out of balance due to human activities, with droughts and extreme rainfall spurring climate change, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on ...

ABSTRACT The seasonal and annual climatological behavior of selected components of the hydrological cycle are presented from coupled and uncoupled configurations of the atmospheric component of the ...

Scientists have used clues locked into tree rings to reveal major changes in the Amazon's rainfall cycle over the last 40 years: wet seasons are getting wetter and dry seasons drier. Research co-led ...

A few months ago I had the equivalent of a science education “mini-rant” in Forbes. I thought about K-12 class lessons about the water cycle, and the glaring omission in all of them. If you are old ...

March 3 (UPI) --For the first time, scientists have quantified the influence of humans on surface water storage, a key component of the global water cycle. Most investigations of the impacts of human ...

Models disagree on how much the hydrologic cycle could intensify under climate change. These changes are expected to scale with the Clausius–Clapeyron relation but may locally diverge due in part to ...

During the abrupt cooling at the onset of the so-called Younger Dryas period 12680 years ago, changes in the water cycle were the main drivers of widespread environmental change in western Europe.
