Researchers trace climate change signal in atmospheric ducting statistics

Researchers led by Xiaofeng Zhao have examined whether climate change has left a detectable signal in the statistics of atmospheric ducting, a phenomenon affecting radio wave propagation. Using 85 years of ERA5 reanalysis data, the team carefully distinguished long-term climate trends from other variability, adding ducting to the growing list of unexpected systems already showing climate change impacts.
Why now: The study's novel finding that climate change signals extend to atmospheric ducting has caught the attention of the science communication community.
