New Australasian model can forecast tropical cyclones four months ahead Posted: 26 Jul 2020 08:48 AM PDT Tropical cyclones in the Pacific can now be forecast up to four months ahead of the season with a new model developed by scientists from New Zealand and Australia. According to Dr. Andrew Magee from the center for water, climate, and land at the University of...... Read more » |
Study reveals South Atlantic magnetic anomaly is a recurring feature Posted: 26 Jul 2020 05:54 AM PDT In a new study, scientists from the University of Liverpool in England traced back the strange behavior of the magnetic field in the South Atlantic region and found that similar anomalies existed as far back as 8 to 11 million years ago. The South Atlantic Anomaly...... Read more » |
