Why Hasn’t Insolation Changed Since Roman Times? Unraveling the Climate Mystery
Climate & Climate ZonesClimate change is one of the most pressing issues facing humanity today. As the Earth’s climate continues to warm, scientists are working hard to understand the complex mechanisms behind these changes. One particular mystery that has puzzled scientists for decades is why certain resources seem to have experienced no change in insolation since Roman times.

Exploring High-Resolution Historic Weather Data Sources for Urban Climate Studies Beyond ERA5
Climate & Climate ZonesUrban climate studies require high-resolution historical weather data to investigate the impact of urbanization on local weather patterns. The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) provides one of the most comprehensive datasets for global weather analysis, known as the ERA5 dataset. However, the spatial resolution of ERA5 is not high enough for urban climate

The Paradox of Clouds: Exploring the Positive Climate Feedback of Cooling Clouds
Climate & Climate ZonesClouds are an important part of the Earth’s atmosphere and play a crucial role in regulating the planet’s temperature. Formed when water vapor condenses into droplets or ice crystals, clouds can have both a cooling and warming effect on the Earth’s climate. While clouds have a net cooling effect on the planet, they also have

Why Earth Doesn’t Radiate at Absorption Wavelengths: Balancing the Radiation Budget
Climate & Climate ZonesAs humans, we are constantly trying to understand the world around us. One of the many mysteries we try to solve is why the Earth doesn’t radiate at wavelengths where there is strong absorption. The answer lies in the Earth’s radiation budget. The radiation budget The radiation balance, also known as the energy balance, is

Unraveling the Connection: Climate Change and Cold Waves
Climate & Climate ZonesWhen we think of climate change, we often think of rising temperatures, melting glaciers, and more frequent extreme weather events such as hurricanes and heat waves. However, some researchers suggest that climate change may also be linked to an increase in cold waves, which are extended periods of extreme cold. This idea may seem counterintuitive,

Seasonal Shifts of the Subtropical High Zone at 30 Degrees: A Climate Study
Climate & Climate ZonesThe subtropical high pressure zone is a region of high atmospheric pressure that typically lies around 30 degrees latitude in both the northern and southern hemispheres. This zone is responsible for the formation of many of the world’s deserts and is a key driver of global climate patterns. However, the position of the subtropical high
