improve climate models that are run for both past and future conditions.
PORTLAND, OREGON — Oceanographers have put a stethoscope on the coursing circulatory system of the Atlantic Ocean, and they have found a skittish pulse that's surprisingly strong in the waters east of Greenland — discoveries that should
improve climate models.
These results will help to
improve the climate models that are used to describe the future climate.
The results so far show only a correlation between fires and water cycle indicators, but the data gathered from the study is allowing scientists to
