What are atmospheric rivers and how do they work? The term "atmospheric river" (AR) has appeared in scientific records since the 1990s. The American Meteorological Society (AMS) added it to its meteorology glossary in 2017. Atmospheric river: A long, narrow, and transient corridor of intense horizontal water vapor transport, typically associated with a low-level jet [...]
In 2026, ocean surface temperatures surpassed global historical records, reaching unprecedented levels, according to scientists. This extreme warming directly alters marine ecosystems and intensifies weather phenomena worldwide. Below, we analyze the causes, impacts, and projections associated with this climate milestone. Unprecedented ocean temperature record in 2026 According to the Copernicus Climate Change Service, the planet's [...]
Before we learn about the Super El Niño 2026, what do we call the El Niño phenomenon? El Niño is the warm phase of a natural climate cycle known as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). It is characterized by the anomalous warming of surface waters in the tropical Pacific, which alters atmospheric circulation and modifies [...]
La Niña phenomenon and Earth's climate system Below, we explore the scientific origins of this anomaly and its global impacts on rainfall patterns—with a particular focus on hurricanes—and examine the urgent adaptation strategies societies must adopt in the face of climate change that is rapidly transforming the globe. The scientific community is currently monitoring the [...]
The El Niño phenomenon in 2026 is already a reality. The planet faces some of the harshest climate conditions in recent decades. Forecasts predict record ocean temperatures and atmospheric disruptions, creating a landscape divided between devastating droughts in some regions and catastrophic rainfall in others. Below, we analyze the scope of this climate threat [...]
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that 2024 was the warmest year on record. Current projections predict that 2025 will be even warmer. Among the consequences of the unstoppable rise in temperature are extreme heat and cold waves, devastating floods, massive forest fires, droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other catastrophic events. What are we [...]
The polar vortex is a phenomenon that normally occurs in the upper atmosphere above the Arctic. It manifests as a mass of cold air that rotates counterclockwise, growing and shrinking with the changing seasons. The phenomenon was diagnosed as a “sudden stratospheric warming”, which caused the vortex to disperse and reverse its circulation, lowering temperatures [...]
Includes recommendations to minimize in advance the effects of the El Niño phenomenon Scientists estimate that the 2023-2024 El Niño, exacerbated by the climate crisis, will likely raise global temperatures to new records in 2024. The most recent of these events was El Niño 2015-2016. After seven years of pause, it is among us again, [...]
The instantaneous speed of cybernetic “thought” is not comparable to anything or anyone. We have read that robots win almost every trial they participate in. That there is practically no chess match that a machine loses. That with AI you can write a novel in minutes. That it is relatively easy with AI to copy [...]
Beat Air Polution World Environment Day is celebrated on June 5, dedicated this year to the fight against air pollution with the moto “Beat Air pollution”. Established by the UN in 1972, during the Stockholm Conference, whose central theme was the normalization of human relations with the environment. China will be the global host of [...]
