A new study used advanced climate models to provide insights into the potential benefits and risks of solar radiation modification for water availability in Central Africa’s major river basins.
In a study published in Science, scientists describe a newly discovered reaction that improves modeling of methane in the atmosphere. Modeling methane’s atmospheric lifetime is important to understanding how the potent greenhouse gas contributes to climate change. To date, models consistently overestimate the amount of hydroxyl radicals (OH), the molecules responsible for breaking down methane,
