Warming Intensifies Atmospheric Ducting Over Global Oceans
Original: Warming-driven lower-tropospheric stratification intensifies ducting over global oceans
A study published in Nature reports that warming-driven stratification in the lower troposphere is intensifying atmospheric ducting over the world's oceans. Ducting, in which temperature and humidity layering traps radio and radar signals near the surface, affects maritime communications, radar performance and weather forecasting. The findings suggest climate change is altering these propagation conditions across large ocean regions.
Why now: The new Nature study links climate change to stronger signal-trapping conditions over oceans, with implications for shipping, radar and forecasting.
