A week-long, polar vortex-related Arctic outbreak rivaling any seen so far this winter is slated to bring frigid conditions ...

But the vortex, scientists say, only got into its modern grove 12-14 million years ago. Sea ice is simply frozen ocean water. It forms, grows, and melts in the ocean. It floats on the surface of ...

"There are many things that can change the strength of the polar vortex," Butler says. Sea ice is one of them – some models suggest melting sea ice may have a weakening effect on the vortex.

Abnormal weather events and severe winter storms could be caused by a disrupted polar vortex. Find out here how the polar ...

This blast of cold weather is due to activity of the polar vortex.

Bio-inspired vortex-anchored filter captures more than 97% of floating, underwater and emulsified oils, even under strong turbulent flow ...

Ito said a cold vortex, also known as a cold-core low ... “To begin with, it is more difficult to observe weather at sea than weather on land,” he said. “It is still difficult to predict ...
