In 2000, atmospheric scientists from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) first reported that smoke plumes from intense wildfires could spawn towering thunderstorms that channeled smoke as…
Climate change is driving a large increase in intense, slow-moving storms, a new study by Newcastle University and the Met Office has found. Investigating how…
Ever-warmer summers are among the challenges confronting athletes competing in the Olympic Games. As the 2021 Olympic Games opened in late July, Tokyo was in…
Research from MIT Haystack Observatory finds a stratospheric warming event over Antarctica linked to anomalies in near-Earth space above North America and Europe. Weather is…
Little is known about the weather at night on Venus as the absence of sunlight makes imaging difficult. Now, researchers have devised a way to…
While one science instrument mapped the dome of high pressure that settled over the southwestern U.S. in early July, another captured ground surface temperatures. Just…
The first hurricane of the Atlantic season made a series of landfalls and dropped abundant rain from the Caribbean to the U.S. East Coast. Tropical…
The AIRS instrument aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite collected temperature readings in the atmosphere and at the surface during an unprecedented heat wave in the Pacific…
Using isotopes from Texas cave stalactites, scientists in Texas A&M’s College Of Geosciences studied thunderstorm changes in the Southern Great Plains. Large thunderstorms in the…
Severe thunderstorms can draw plumes of cirrus clouds into the stratosphere, a sign that tornadoes, large hail, or damaging winds may be coming soon. After…
While record-breaking heat enveloped the Pacific Northwest in June 2021, other parts of the Northern Hemisphere also saw early-summer temperatures climb. While record-breaking heat scorched the…
While heatwaves are quite common during the summer months, the scorching heatwave hitting parts of western Canada and the US has been particularly devastating –…
In June 2021, all-time temperature records fell in multiple cities in the U.S. and Canada during a “historic and dangerous” heatwave. Extraordinary heat events occur…
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, it became clear from satellite observations and human experience that the world’s air grew cleaner. But new research shows that…
Precipitation totals and lake levels are among the worst they have been since the 1970s. Just four years after emerging from a severe multi-year drought, California…
The dust storm traveled from Algeria to Italy, spanning roughly 1,000 kilometers (620 miles). On June 22, 2021, the Moderate Resolution imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on…
Amazon rain forests could be at far higher risk of extreme drought than previously thought, according to new research. An international study, led by the…
