Crystallization from amorphous solids is generally caused by activating phonons in a wide frequency range during heat treatment. In contrast, the activation of phonons in a narrow frequency range ...

The term "Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation" was coined two decades ago to describe cyclical warming and cooling in the North Atlantic Ocean. Now, new research suggests the AMO doesn't really exist.

A study by scientists at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science identified El Niño–Southern Oscillation as the primary cause of the spike in global surface ...

Various oscillatory phenomena occur in the world. Because some are associated with abnormal states (e.g. epilepsy), it is important to establish ways to terminate oscillations by external stimuli.

The El Niño event, a huge blob of warm ocean water in the tropical Pacific Ocean that can change rainfall patterns around the globe, isn't just a modern phenomenon. A new modeling study from a pair of ...

A new modeling study shows that the El Nino event, a huge blob of warm ocean water in the tropical Pacific Ocean that can change rainfall patterns around the globe, was present at least 250 million ...

Teleconnections in our atmosphere allow conditions in one part of the world to affect weather patterns thousands of kilometres away We’ve all heard the saying that a butterfly flapping its wings can ...

The Cliffs of Moher look out over the Atlantic – but is the ocean endangering us on land? Sami Pyylampi, CC BY-SA The Atlantic Ocean’s surface temperature swings between warm and cold phases every few ...
