Scientists have long predicted that as climate change from the burning of coal, oil and gas makes the air warmer, it holds more moisture, which means bigger, nastier atmospheric rivers are coming in the future. This week’s study shows that a more moist future is already here. Click here to read the story. Click the following link for more information on Flood.

The Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) has terminated a flood watch for the Grand River watershed, but warns water levels are higher than normal. The GRCA says that while there won’t be significant flooding, the rain has left water levels along the water shed higher and could cause flooding in areas that are already used to it. The flood watch was issued last week due to milder temperatures, rain and melting snow. Click here to read the story. Click the following link for more information on Flood.

Scientists are still trying to understand the exact dynamics and circulation pathways that determine how dense, cold water from deep in the Gulf of Mexico gets circulated within the Gulf. Current theories suggest that deep water is transformed into intermediate water by small-scale mixing which drives upwelling before flowing out of the Gulf through the Yucatan Channel.
