Debunking the Solar-Cycle/North Atlantic Winter Weather Connection

January 22, 2019

The North Atlantic Oscillation is a key driver of winter weather patterns over the northern hemisphere. In recent years, research has claimed a correlation between the NAO and the 11-year solar cycle. A new paper debunks that claim.
Climate-Driven Fires Could Turn Yellowstone Forests to Grassland By Midcentury

January 17, 2019

A new study shows that some of Yellowstone National Park’s forests may be at a climate tipping point, and could be replaced by grassland by the middle of this century.
