is because of the slow response time of some elements of the climate system, such as the oceans with their large thermal capacity. Climate simulations show that it can take several centuries for the climate system to reach equilibrium, all other external forcings remaining constant (e.g. volcanoes, Sun

This region of high pressure influenced the path of Hurricane Sandy, causing it to make an unusual turn to the northwest before making landfall along the northeast coast of the US. The 2012 season was characterised by a high level of early season

The atmospheric measurements and emission estimates of greenhouse gases provide an important cross-check for the emissions inventories
