Atlantic Ocean Current Expected to Undergo Limited Weakening with Climate Change
The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, commonly referred to as the "AMOC," is a system of ocean currents confined to the Atlantic basin that plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's climate by transporting heat from the Southern to the Northern Hemisphere. The AMOC also modulates regional weather, from the mild summers in Europe to the monsoon seasons in Africa and India.

Measuring a Major Chemical Contributing to Los Angeles Smog
The Los Angeles region has some of the most polluted air in the United States, failing to meet standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency for the last decade. Now, Caltech researchers have quantified the levels of a component of smog called ammonium nitrate, a molecule that has been notoriously difficult to measure, and have found that there is much more of it than previously calculated, especially on the most polluted days.
