A pair of NASA spacecraft know as the Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (ESCAPADE) to be launched to Mars by a Blue Origin New Glenn rocket. ESCAPADE will study how the "solar wind ...

A resonance effect can significantly affect how a three-atom molecule cools down when excited, RIKEN physicists have found.

If so, you might be bad at reading the room. It's a skill many take for granted—understanding social cues, the atmosphere, ...

Native grass species serve as vital germplasm resources and have evolved impressive traits like drought, cold, disease, and ...

Marine heatwaves (MHWs)—persistent oceanic warming events increasingly observed worldwide—pose significant threats to marine environments and ecosystems. Understanding their drivers and evolution is ...

Steep hills, shallow soils and a fault zone have made Hill Country, also called "flash flood alley," one of the state's most ...

The vertical distribution of aerosols plays a fundamental role in shaping air quality, influencing energy balance through radiative forcing, and impacting atmospheric dynamics. In the Eastern ...

Then, using a widely recognised drought index that includes both rainfall and this atmospheric thirst, we could track when, where and why droughts are getting more severe. With this metric, we can ...

A new study shows that rising ‘atmospheric thirst’ is responsible for about 40% of the increase in drought severity over the last four decades.

In other words, the persistence of nitrates has been driven by chemical processes happening in the atmosphere rather than meteorological conditions or atmospheric dynamics.

Methane indicates unexpected atmospheric dynamics: Despite extreme heat, methane was detected on the nightside -- a finding that can be explained by strong vertical atmospheric circulation.
