The heat being captured by the increasing load of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is subsequently transferred into the oceans for storage. This process — global warming — ...

New research suggests that temperature can largely explain why the greatest variety of aquatic life resides in the tropics -- but also why it has not always and, amid record-fast global warming, soon ...

BOTH Emden's 1 old hydrodynamic solar theory and the more modern thermo-hydrodynamical solar theory due to Bjerknes 2 lead to a higher temperature at the poles than at the equator of the sun. Bjerknes ...

New results between 2009 and 2013 show that the diversity and functions of planktonic species in the global ocean change dramatically according to latitude. New results from the Tara Oceans expedition ...

ABSTRACT An increase in the poleward heat or energy transport is often ascribed to a strengthening of the equator-to-pole gradient in temperature or in the top-of-the-atmosphere (TOA) net radiation.

Strong darkening observed around the equator of Vega suggests that the fifth brightest star in Earth’s sky has a huge temperature difference of 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit from its cool equatorial region ...

Why do plants’ leaves shrink the further from the equator they grow? It may all be to do with maintaining a comfortable temperature. Leaves vary greatly in size, from less than 1 square millimetre to ...
