On August 18, 2020, several fires exploded across northern California and scorched thousands of acres. The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the NOAA-NASA…
A University of Colorado Boulder-led team is the first to observe new equatorial wind patterns in Antarctica, revealing new connections in global circulation. A CIRES-led…
Earth’s magnetic field acts like a protective shield around the planet, repelling and trapping charged particles from the Sun. But over South America and the…
Australian meteorologists took note recently when not one—but two—vast bands of clouds stretched from the eastern Indian Ocean to Australia, channeling streams of moisture that…
A small but evolving dent in Earth’s magnetic field can cause big headaches for satellites. Earth’s magnetic field acts like a protective shield around the…
Glaciers in the Southern Alps of New Zealand have lost more ice mass since pre-industrial times than remains today, according to a new study. Research…
