Equatorial wave dynamics lie at the heart of tropical atmospheric variability, encompassing a suite of large‐scale oscillations that govern convection, rainfall and regional circulation. These ...

New research shows that equatorial waves -- pulses of warm ocean water that play a role in regulating Earth's climate -- are driven by the same dynamics as the exotic materials known as topological ...

Owing to the opposite vertical orientation with respect to the plane of Earth's rotation across the equator from the Southern Hemisphere to Northern Hemisphere, the equator serves as a waveguide that ...

A pulse in a lesser-known tropical wave will bring increased risk of tropical cyclone activity over northern Australia in the coming week. Earth's tropical atmosphere contains a number of large-scale ...
