Our two-person team loaded the car with a GPS, a drone, notebooks, sample bags, a trowel and a flat spatula lovingly called a ...

What is wind? Where does it come from, and why does it blow? Why are storm winds so strong? Are winds on other planets like they are on Earth? Read on for answers to these "blue-sky" questions and ...

What processes are responsible for contributing airborne microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) to the environment? This is ...

In short, the global warming induced by increased greenhouse gases changes the major wind systems on Earth. This in turn reduces the area of highly reflective clouds, leading to additional warming.

A laser-equipped research platform has, for the first time, photographed airflow just millimeters above ocean waves, ...

The global picture In the big picture, Earth’s wind patterns are driven by hot air rising near the equator and the rotation of the planet. This creates huge, looping currents of atmospheric ...

Geologic records reveal that magnetic field strength and oxygen levels rise and fall together, implying deep-Earth processes ...

Curiosity stitched 291 Mastcam photos into a color-balanced 360° panorama of Gale Crater’s “boxwork” ridges—spiderweb-like ...

For over a century, scientists have noticed something unusual in the North Atlantic Ocean. While most oceans around the globe ...

Warming changes wind patterns, which changes cloud patterns, which results in more warming. This is what we call "positive feedback" in the climate system: warming leads to more warming.

Temperatures continue to cruise well into the 90s through the weekend, but some rainy relief may lie ahead next week.
