New parameterization schemes enhance the prediction accuracy of typhoon intensity

Phys.org: Earth science - Mon, 03/03/2025 - 20:44
To reduce the loss of human lives and damage to property caused by typhoon disasters, it is crucial to continuously improve numerical models and enhance their capacity to forecast typhoon tracks and intensities. Numerical models serve as important tools in typhoon numerical simulations and operational forecasts. Since 1990, the accuracy of typhoon track forecasts using numerical models has gradually improved. However, improvement in intensity forecasts has been slow.

The US weather enterprise is at risk, say meteorologists

Phys.org: Earth science - Mon, 03/03/2025 - 19:56
The American Meteorological Society has released the following statement regarding weather forecasting at the federal National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Soil found to play crucial role in breaking down methane from leaking legacy wells

Phys.org: Earth science - Mon, 03/03/2025 - 19:10
New research has revealed that soils surrounding onshore oil and gas wells are able to absorb methane leakage, preventing the potent greenhouse gas from entering the atmosphere and contributing to global warming. The research is published in Geophysical Research Letters.

Going with the flow: Visualizing ocean currents with ECCO ocean model

Phys.org: Earth science - Mon, 03/03/2025 - 18:57
Historically, the ocean has been difficult to model. Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or accurately predict fluctuations in temperature, salinity, and other properties. As a result, models of ocean dynamics rapidly diverged from reality, which meant they could only provide useful information for brief periods.

Pennsylvania has made strides in Chesapeake Bay cleanup. But is that enough?

Phys.org: Earth science - Mon, 03/03/2025 - 14:10
At a dire point in the Chesapeake Bay restoration effort, some say hope is springing from an unlikely place: the state of Pennsylvania.

Melting Antarctic ice sheets are slowing Earth's strongest ocean current, research reveals

Phys.org: Earth science - Mon, 03/03/2025 - 07:00
Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators, including sea level rise, ocean warming and viability of marine ecosystems.
