A massive coronal hole on the Sun is sending solar wind toward Earth, increasing aurora visibility in higher latitudes.

The term “atmospheric river” was coined in 1994 and has since quickly gained popularity. But what does it really mean?

As a result, temperatures are cooler. The changing tilt of the Earth has a bigger effect on places at higher latitudes: in summer, higher latitudes in the northern hemisphere have longer daylight ...

“The change is warming higher latitudes and reducing the temperature difference between the warmer mid-latitude and polar regions. This weakens and destabilises the polar jet stream, causing it ...

At higher latitudes, the atmospheric circulation is more complex, as cold air from the poles mixes with the warm air from the tropics, and so is the volcano's effect on the climate. Identifying ...

In contrast, those in higher latitudes receive sunlight that is spread over a larger area and that has taken a longer path through the atmosphere. As a result, these higher latitudes receive less ...

And this is why Everest, if it were at a higher latitude, could very well be beyond the physiological limits of someone trying to climb without oxygen. Only one direct measurement of atmospheric ...
