A pilot project has estimated emissions and removals of carbon dioxide in individual nations using satellite measurements. A NASA Earth-observing satellite has helped researchers track…
Smoke Particles From Wildfires Can Erode the Ozone Layer MIT chemists show the Australian wildfires widened the ozone hole by 10 percent in 2020. A…
Oxygen levels in the Earth’s atmosphere are likely to have “fluctuated wildly” one billion years ago, creating conditions that could have accelerated the development of early…
According to new research, chances to see rainbows will rise in northern latitudes while falling in many tropical regions. According to a recent study conducted…
An almost limitless supply of fresh water exists in the form of water vapor above Earth’s oceans, yet remains untapped, according to researchers. A new…
The warming during the summer months in Europe has been much faster than the global average, shows a new study published in the Journal of…
A new model explains that water evaporating from the Arctic Ocean due to a warming climate is transported south and can lead to increased snowfall…
Nord Stream 1 and 2, two subsea pipelines for transferring natural gas from Russia to Germany, were both deliberately ruptured on September 26, 2022. Massive…
A new analysis led by Oxford University researchers has shown that the devastating Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai eruption in January 2022 created the tallest volcanic plume…
A pair of NASA scientists have an unconventional hobby—searching through atmospheric data to find the rare moment when faces swirl up in their data. By…
El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is an irregular periodic variation in winds and sea surface temperatures over the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean that affects the climate…
The depleted area of the ozone layer over the South Pole was slightly smaller than last year and generally continued the overall shrinking trend of…
Researchers measured the electrical fields near swarming honeybees and discovered that insects can produce as much atmospheric electric charge as a thunderstorm cloud. This type…
An international research team has identified carbon dioxide from human activities by analyzing measurements from the TanSat mission and the Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor mission. This…
An unexpected ‘heat wave’ has been discovered in Jupiter’s atmosphere. It reaches a scorching temperature of 700 degrees Celsius (1300 degrees Fahrenheit) and extends 130,000…
Desert dust was assumed to be the primary contributor to elevated air pollution across the Middle East. Now, an international team of scientists including researchers…
Clouds can either cool or warm the planet’s surface, a radiative effect that contributes substantially to the global energy budget and can be altered by…
New information about an elusive atmospheric phenomenon known as gigantic jets has been uncovered by a detailed 3D study of a massive electrical discharge that…
