That's because other than vertical shear, tornadoes thrive on an unstable atmosphere -- and for tropical cyclones, thermal instability happens mostly at a lower height than for storms at higher latitudes.
|
|
There's a higher probability that Tiangong-1 will fall somewhere around these boundaries, though, since the space station actually spends more time at the upper and lower latitudes of its orbit.
|

But in a world where food is scarce (as it presumably was in the northern latitudes where modern humans and Neanderthals mixed), those same genes might help their owners through lean periods.
|
|
Oftentimes, the northern lights are only visible at higher latitudes (like in Scandinavia during the summer), but occasionally — as is the case this time, apparently — they'll reach lower down the northern hemisphere.
|
|
Previous research showed that liquid methane tends to collect at higher latitudes, but this is the first study to show that extreme rainfall events may be triggering major sediment transport and erosion.
|
|
Because temperatures are rising in the Arctic at double the rate of the rest of the planet, the difference between temperatures at the North Pole and continents at lower latitudes is decreasing.
|
|
Higher Arctic temperatures are thought to affect weather patterns in the northern mid-latitudes, where weather systems form as a result of the temperature gap between the hot tropics and cool pole.
|

Arctic temperatures have been increasing at about double the rate of lower latitudes, in large part due to feedbacks in the climate that kick in as sea ice and land-based snow cover melts.
|
|
"If so, the northern lights phenomenon would become a natural show exclusive to the polar regions, due to a lack of solar wind forces that often make it visible at lower latitudes," said Owens.
|
|
One exception to this is at the highest latitudes, where the difference is actually decreasing, which is related to the loss of Arctic sea ice in the far north, and ozone depletion above Antarctica.
|
|
Marines have deployed on rotations to Norway since 2017 and taken part in exercises in Alaska with the Army and Air Force in an effort to get used to harsh conditions at higher latitudes.

Others suggest these weather phenomena could be influenced by climate change due to the ongoing decreases in Arctic sea ice and the faster rate of temperature increase in the arctic compared to lower latitudes.
|
|
NOAA meteorologist Stephen Corfidi says peak sunset season for the middle latitudes (think the northeastern United States) is November through February, and it has to do with the confluence of a few meteorological factors.
|

In an era when the digital world has winnowed our attention spans, the aurora borealis still demands presence and patience, a long journey to far northern latitudes, and the fortitude to weather arctic conditions.
|
|
The data examined came mainly from studies of the Northern Hemisphere and included only spotty surveys of high Arctic latitudes and the tropics, so does not represent a complete picture of the planet&aposs soil.
|
|
He pointed as well to preliminary evidence suggesting that the virus spreads more easily in northern latitudes than it does in warm, humid environments, as one possible reason for the severity of New York's outbreak.
|

Research indicates that rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere cause disruptions to the jet streams and create dangerous wind shears that greatly increase turbulence, especially at moderate latitudes where the majority of air travel occurs.
|
|
Due to a lack of imaging data from the solar poles (most satellite missions focus on observing lower latitudes), scientists have been creating artificial images by extrapolating from imaging data collected by the Proba-2 satellite.
|
|
At the beginning of 9993, it said it was removing longitudes and latitudes from the free database it offered online, but according to a blog post last April, customers complained, so MaxMind decided to leave them.

Broadly speaking, a warmer, drier climate should force trees uphill and to higher latitudes; the Ponderosa pine will climb from the montane to the subalpine zones, displacing or finding refuge among white firs and lodgepole pines.
|
|
Led by Spanish biologist Andrés Cózar, the team hadn't expected to find such large accumulations of shopping bags, fishing lines, microbeads, and other plastic fragments, given how far the polar latitudes are from pollution-creating populations.
|
|
When those winds decrease significantly, it can allow the vortex to become distorted, and the result is a jet stream that plunges deep into southern latitudes, bringing the cold, dense Arctic air spilling down with it.
|
|
But even so, some forests in the mid-latitudes may at times emit enough methane to negate the methane-absorbing capacity of their soils, turning their ecosystems from net methane sinks to net sources, says Megonigal.
|
|
It looks like a piece of the aurora borealis, or the northern lights: blushes of pink or green that illuminate the night sky at high latitudes, caused by solar particles interacting with the earth's magnetic field.
|

"Canada is one of the few countries where climate change may create some opportunities for growing crops in northern latitudes," said Rod Bonnett, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, a lobby group representing 200,000 farmers.
|
|
In the world's northern latitudes, however, there is actually going to be a bump in production, as hotter temperatures either increase yields or make it possible to grow crops in areas where it was previously too cold.
|
|
What drives the immune system to behave in this way remains mysterious, but in the 1970s researchers uncovered a promising clue when they noticed that MS is rarer near the equator than it is at high latitudes.
|
|
"Now we can start to think about taking some of our best tomato varieties, and if they can flower faster, you can start to grow them in more northern latitudes, where the summers are shorter," he says.
|
|
The resulting loss of sea ice in the area could be weakening the polar vortex, allowing cold air from the North Pole to be misplaced over lower latitudes, like North America, and thus creating these cold snaps.
|
|
Many recent studies indicate that sea ice loss in the Arctic at various times of the year may be affecting weather patterns in the mid-latitudes, including the East Coast of the U.S. and parts of Europe.
|
|
It will come down somewhere between the 43rd north and south parallels, roughly between the latitudes of London in Britain and Wellington in New Zealand, but it is impossible to be any more specific, ESA's Krag said.
|
|
The region also does the world a real service by returning nutrient-rich deep water to the surface, and it exports these nutrients to lower latitudes that rely on them to support the life in our seas.
|
|
"It's locking in that cold air at the high latitudes in the Arctic region," Dr. Cohen said, comparing the polar vortex to a dam holding back the frigid arctic air from the rest of the Northern Hemisphere.
|
|
The reason is straightforward: The Arctic has warmed so much — twice as fast in recent decades than other parts of the world — that when polar air descends to lower latitudes, the cold snaps are warmer on average.
|
|
It was also peaceful at Galerie Martin Janda, where the Barcelona-based curatorial office Latitudes had put together a group show that included photographic works by Sean Lynch of Ireland and sculpture by David Bestué of Spain.

|
|
A recent analysis by Dr. Tedesco and a colleague showed that a rare combination of atmospheric conditions, related to instability of the polar jet stream that encircles Earth at high northern latitudes, led to this summer's melting.
|
|
Though it is well known that temperature changes due to increased levels of greenhouse gases are amplified at higher latitudes, like in the Arctic, there is growing evidence that warming rates are also greater at higher elevations.
|
|
This leaves Muslims in northern latitudes facing dauntingly long days of fasting which, in fact, last a bit longer than from sunrise to sunset: they extend from fajr, the pre-dawn prayer, to maghrib, the post-dusk prayer.
|
|
But while previous studies have been limited to specific latitudes, a recent upgrade to the Very Large Array—one of the world's premier radio observatories—has now enabled scientists to build a global picture, albeit a limited one.
|
|
A tropical depression could form early next week while the system moves westward at 15 to 20 miles per hour across the low latitudes of the eastern and central tropical Atlantic Ocean, the Miami-based weather forecaster added.
|
|
As an expected tidal wave of charged particles bears down on Earth on March 23, the Northern and Southern lights are likely to be much more intense at the poles and will creep down into lower latitudes, too.
|
|
Other observations have suggested that thick mantling deposits located at Mars' higher latitudes are indicative of a messy mixture of ice and dust, but the extent, composition, and quality of this supposed water ice has never been confirmed.
|
|
Another clue that is it not simply El Niño causing the recent high temps: studying the map of temperatures from February shows that some of the warmest temperatures compared to average were found in the far northern latitudes.

Species in the once-stable conditions near the equator could find it much harder to tolerate even mild temperature increases than hardier cousins at higher latitudes, which are used to coping with the contrast between summer and winter.
|
|
ESA said the 10.4-metre-long (34.1-foot) space station is expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere somewhere between the 43rd north and south parallels, roughly between the latitudes of London in Britain and Wellington in New Zealand.
|
|
But a rapidly warming Arctic means this sea ice melts in the summer months or is flushed out of the Arctic to lower latitudes, so much of the winter ice is young and thin, only around three feet thick.
|
|
Usually, the northern lights stay pretty close to the poles, but during a solar storm — also known as a geomagnetic storm — the lights can be visible in lower latitudes due to the way the storm perturbs Earth's magnetic field.
|
|
The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is seen in northern latitudes while the Aurora Australis, known as the Southern Lights, can be seen in high southern latitude areas in Antarctica, Chile, Argentina, New Zealand and Australia.
|

The rhythms and rituals of these people's daily lives are sharply etched here, too, as is this corner of Florida, which occupies the emotional latitudes somewhere between Frederick Barthelme's depressive New South and Carl Hiaasen's skanky, oddball Sunshine State.
|
|
Not only are melting sea ice and warming oceans causing more heat and moisture to escape into the atmosphere in the Far North, but increasingly, mild and wet air masses from lower latitudes are intruding into the Arctic as well.
|
|
The researchers found that if temperatures rise 2C, the chance of hot spells lasting longer than two weeks increases by 4% compared with today across the northern mid-latitudes, which include much of Europe, North America, and Central and North Asia.
|
|
Another study, published in April, showed that turtles nesting on far-off beaches with similar magnetic properties (like two on either side of the Florida peninsula, at similar latitudes) had more in common genetically than with those nesting closer by.

Jack Holt, co-author of the study and a researcher at the University of Arizona, previously used SHARAD to confirm the presence of massive glaciers in the Martian mid-latitudes—one of which is three times the size of Los Angeles.
|
|
Of note: The researchers also found drought impacts gradually worsened throughout the 20th century, and that recovery times lasted longer in the tropics and in Russia, Alaska and other places in the high northern latitudes, potentially putting them at more risk.
|
|
If this emitted energy is aimed at the Earth, it can have a significant impact, including enhanced auroras at lower latitudes, and airline passengers can experience a higher radiation dose than usual, especially for flight paths near the Earth's poles.

That's because the world's richest countries are by and large already in cooler latitudes, while poor countries are disproportionately concentrated around the Equator, where even a slight increase in temperature can be devastating to crop production, human health and labor productivity.
|
|
A representative for the Alberta government said that current rules allow for a limited transfer of seeds to higher latitudes and elevations, meaning that in some cases trees can be moved to the northern edge of where they currently grow.
|
|
The best ski resorts further south in North America, for that reason, tend to have high elevations that provide a counterweight to their latitudes: Telluride, Taos, Wolf Creek and Silverton all have in-bounds terrain at or near 12,000 feet.
|
|
What is more, climate change might well require broad migrations from the middle latitudes to countries farther north or south, yet rich-country borders are far less porous (with respect to migrants from poorer countries, at least) than those in the developing world.
|
|
Given that this species cost the southeast US $100 million a year in timber losses from 1990 through 2004 and destroyed millions of acres of valuable forest ecosystems, its climate-enabled range expansion is likely to be disastrous for pines at higher latitudes.
|
|
It swung into an extreme negative phase — meaning there were higher than average air pressure values over the Arctic and lower than average air pressure values over the mid-latitudes — during the first three weeks of January, dipping to near-historic lows.

"In the northern hemisphere, there's land and coast at most latitudes, so it's not too hard for lots of plants and animals to shift north and find places they can live," said Dr. Fraser, who was not involved in the new research.
|
|
It was a super-birding event in the bonanza that is spring migration — which runs from late April to early June, but peaks for songbirds in May — when millions of birds make their way from parts south to breed in the Northern latitudes.
|
|
The team thought that if the flashes were caused by reflections of sunlight, rather than something like lightning, the glints would appear only at certain latitudes on the globe, which were dependent on the angles of the sun, Earth and the satellite.
|
|
Without knowing when the station will fall, it is impossible to say where those pieces might land, though the characteristics of the station's orbit mean it will be between latitudes 43° north (that of northern Spain) and 43° south (which passes by Tasmania; see map).
|
|
Francis says there now appears to be a connection between a reduction of sea ice and the more frequent creation of what are known as atmospheric "blocks" — weather patterns that can draw warm air to unusually high northern latitudes for long periods of time.
|
|
Why walrus reproduction is so dicey in captivity is still a mystery, but these animals' circadian rhythms seem to have something to do with it: day-night cycles are different at more southern latitudes—even in Quebec—than in their Arctic home, researchers have found.
|
|
Dr. Burke said this study quantified the "dual benefits" that rich countries, particularly industrialized countries in the cooler latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, had enjoyed — first being able to consume fossil fuels to grow their economies and then reaping the gains of warmer temperatures.
|
|
"The gain in greenness, which mostly occurred in the Northern temperate and high latitudes, does not offset the damage from loss of leaf area in tropical natural vegetation," the study authors wrote, citing depleted areas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Brazil and Indonesia.
|
|
A recent blast of epically hot weather across vast regions of Asia has underscored how extreme heat can severely disrupt daily life, especially in poor countries at low latitudes — a problem that scientists say will worsen as the effects of climate change become more apparent.
|
|
That is why most wine regions are in areas where average temperatures fall between 12°C and 22°C during the growing season (April to October in the northern hemisphere; October to April in the south), These lie at latitudes of 30° to 50°.
|
|
"We have very high confidence that a large subset of countries in the low latitudes where it is warm have been negatively impacted by historical global warming, so they have lower per capita GDP today than they would have had global warming not occurred," Diffenbaugh tells Axios.
|
|
By 2010, work by Mark Zelinka of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and others convincingly showed that as Earth warms, high clouds will move higher in the sky and also shift toward higher latitudes, where they won't block as much direct sunlight as they do nearer the equator.
|
|
We'll be seeing these effects further south, too: Live Science published an interview with Meier on March 26 in which he explains that the warming temperatures in the Arctic may send colder air to the lower latitudes, changing weather patterns and perhaps increasing the severity of winters.
|
|
According to Zurek, who is an MRO project scientist but did not participate in the new study, the newly-identified sites with water-ice are in the higher latitudes of Mars, meaning that sunlight and temperatures in those areas go through extreme swings throughout the year.

Our requirements for this structure is that it should be able to be employed anywhere on the planet, including Antarctica, so it had to be able to withstand extreme winds, snow loading, and the months of darkness that are found in extreme northern and southern latitudes.
|
|
Some scientists have linked extreme shifts in the jet stream to global warming, theorizing that the melting of Arctic ice and the decreased temperature differential between the Arctic and lower latitudes have robbed the jet stream of some of its strength, causing it to meander more.
|
|
Supplements are particularly important to consider for people over 50, or who are younger but don't get much sun, individuals with dark pigmentation and people who live at higher latitudes, said Dr. Matthew Drake, a researcher at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, who wasn't involved in the study.
|
|
Building on a theory It seems counterintuitive that a warming Arctic and melting sea ice would lead to colder, snowier winters in the middle latitudes of the northern hemisphere -- but the "warm arctic, cold continents" theory has been a hot topic in climate research for the past several years.
|
|
While scientists already knew that about a third of the surface of Mars contains shallow ground ice and that its poles harbor major ice deposits, the research published on Thursday described thick underground ice sheets exposed along slopes up to 100 yards (meters) tall at the planet's middle latitudes.
|
|
"What happens is if you have a big area of thunderstorms in the tropics, that puts a lot of energy in the upper atmosphere, which propagates out and distorts weather in the middle latitudes where we are," said Cliff Mass, professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington.
|
|
As a keen observer of the sun, Carrington had helped uncover the details of our sun's rotation: By mapping the motions of sunspots, Carrington observed that the sun not only spins on its axis like a top, but that different latitudes of the sun rotate at different rates.
|
|
"The main Jovian aurora, at lower latitudes, and mainly ultraviolet, is NOT affected by solar activity/storms or solar wind variations but is driven by Jupiter's rotation and the movement of the magnetospheric plasma with this rotation," astronomer Tom Cravens, who did not participate in the new study, told Mashable.
