Global carbon dioxide emissions are triggering permanent changes to ocean chemistry along the North American West Coast that require immediate, decisive action to combat. That action includes development of a coordinated regional management strategy, concluded a panel of scientific experts including Andrew Dickson, a professor of marine chemistry at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.

Winds transport dust from the Sahara Desert around the world and influence weather and ecology as far away as the Caribbean and South America. Now a history of this transported dust led by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego reveals how climate change may alter its global-scale role.

Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego have developed a new method for improving atmospheric river forecasts based on collecting special observations using two aircraft in atmospheric rivers over the northeast Pacific Ocean. The method was used for the first time in February in National Weather Service-directed flights over the Pacific Ocean.

El Niño, the climate pattern primarily characterized by a warmer-than-average eastern Pacific Ocean, has definitely taken shape off the shores of San Diego. It has brought with it many of its classic calling cards from warm beach water to the appearance of tropical marine fishes several hundred miles north of their typical habitats.
