| Increased Extreme Summer Heat Events Linked with Vanishing Arctic Ice and Snow |
| [2013-12-10] |
 |
Researchers found that the response of atmospheric circulation to sea-ice loss was stronger than that to snow melt. Accompanying the vanishing cryosphere is a changing jet stream: weakened west-to-east winds and a general northward shift. Consequently, the atmospheric circulation change tends to favor more persistent weather systems an... |

| Supercomputer Technology to Monitor Smog |
| [2013-12-10] |
 |
A computer model capable of more accurately forecasting and analyzing the cause of smoggy days is expected to be put into operation in the following three to five years. The simulation model will be developed using the technology of Tianhe-1A, which ranked as the world's fastest supercomputer from November 2010 to June 2011, and the model's data will be revised in light of actual observation data from other monitors... |
