Global warming may intensify subtropical high pressure systems that shape northern hemisphere weather patterns

Summit Voice: The big subtropical high pressure systems that already shape mid-latitude weather patterns to a large degree could become even bigger players on the global climate scene as they intensify under the influence of global warming, according to a new study led by Duke University researchers. The study suggests that, as summertime near-surface high-pressure systems over the northern Pacific and Atlantic oceans strengthen, they could influence the occurrence of drought and extreme summer rainfall, in...
