By Andrew C. Revkin in DotEarth blog. Revkin dives into AER's scientific model and approach to improve predictions of winter temperatures. Highlights Siberian snow cover that helps predict whether we'll have a colder (or warmer) winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Bryan Walsh of TIME gives insights and reactions to research by Judah Cohen, the director of seasonal forecasting at the environmental research firm AER, that increasing seasonal snow cover in Siberia may drive extreme winter weather.

With a hurricane making its way towards the BP Oil spill, scientific research of AER's scientists are developing an algorithm to govern weather predictions across the U.S. depicting how the smallest change in temperature and humidity can change the course of a Hurricane.

BlackRock Energy & Resources Fund manager relies on AER’s weather forecasts to gauge heating demand that moves the oil and coal markets...commissioned Atmospheric & Environmental Research (AER), a Lexington (Mass.) consultancy to synthesize the climate literature.”

Hurricane season has officially started, and experts expect it to be the worst since 2005.

“The second study, presented at a conference of the American Meteorological Society in Atlanta, says that whether or not the nature of hurricanes changes, the property damage they wreak in the U.S. will rise an average 20% over the next two decades because of the rising sea level caused by...
