Just 12 light-years from Earth, the closest known super-Jupiter has thrown a wrench into atmospheric science. New ...

Understanding and predicting airborne composition and concentrations is pivotal to addressing interconnected challenges in air quality, climate systems, and atmospheric processes. Pollutants, such as ...

Researchers have used a three-dimensional Mars atmospheric model to simulate how engineered particles released from the planet’s surface could spread globally and raise temperatures, offering a ...

This model reveals how vastly different the atmosphere was on ancient Earth, and how life may have first emerged. The key to unlocking the secrets of distant planets starts right here on Earth.

Hybrid climate modeling has emerged as an effective way to reduce the computational costs associated with cloud-resolving models while retaining their accuracy. The approach retains physics-based ...

A program focused on key storm systems, known as atmospheric rivers, that provides students with hands-on research experience, launched its second season in January. Valparaiso University balloon ...

Models, by definition, are approximations: useful, informative, and inevitably incomplete, because they are the only way to simplify a world too complex to grasp all at once. A new study on nitrous ...

The weather radar is something many of us turn to when severe weather starts rolling in. We watch the colors — light colors feel harmless and the dark colors feel scary — but those colors actually ...
