Scientists have discovered a climate rhythm that may improve long-range tropical cyclone forecasts and strengthen early warning systems.
This fall, NASA scientist Kris Bedka flew into Hurricane Helene to test a device that uses lasers to create ultradetailed wind measurements. It could be the key to unlocking better storm predictions.
A new study uses real mountain snow measurements and machine learning to give Western communities clearer and safer snowfall ...
What can sand dunes on Earth and Mars teach us about the latter’s wind behavior and atmosphere? This is what a recently awarded NASA grant hopes to address as a PhD student at Texas A&M University ...
The Earth’s atmosphere is a complex system that creates extraordinary weather phenomena. From glowing clouds to raining fish, our planet hosts an array of meteorological marvels that seem to defy ...
Scientists studying Earth's magnetic field have discovered that its electric heartbeat flows in the opposite direction from ...
Stealth CMEs are typically more common when the Sun is in the waning phase of its 11-year solar activity cycle.
Where on the planet are people's hats being knocked off by roaring wind? Where are the ghastly doldrums, where the air's so still not a single leaf rustles? The simulation relies on the raw power of ...
(A–B) Locations of mapped dune fields on (A) Earth and (B) Mars. (C–D) Examples of mapping and interaction identification on (C) linear dunes in Tanami Desert, Australia, and (D) crescentic dunes at ...
Researchers have analyzed the shifting patterns of entire dune fields on Earth and Mars, as seen from orbit, and found they are a direct signature of recent environmental change. This new tool can be ...
