BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - Todays’s Weather Whys is focused on the different layers of the atmosphere, which many of you may already recognize from grade school. The official number of layers is up ...

The temperature in the second-highest layer of the atmosphere will likely continue to climb over the next few years as the sun's activity ramps up, which could impact Earth-orbiting satellites ...

First, as I mentioned, is the troposphere. This is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, where all weather occurs. It begins at the ground, and extends upward to about 6.2 miles above earth’s surface.

Earth's atmosphere is made up of five layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. The troposphere is the first layer above the Earth that extends 5 to 9 miles ...

How does a cloud stay cool under direct sunlight––or seem to vanish in infrared? In nature, phenomena like white cumulus ...

The temperature variation of the atmosphere is also determined by heat exchange between the two layers. The occurrence of heat convection is responsible for air to expand and become less dense ...

The Earth’s atmosphere has a number of layers. The region we know best, because it is where our weather happens, is the troposphere. This dense blanket of air 5 to 9 miles thick contains 80 ...

This edition of Weather Tidbits will be discussing how atmospheric temperature profiles, and how a temperature inversion can ...

It forms under specific atmospheric conditions involving different temperature layers in the atmosphere. Precipitation starts up in the atmosphere in a warmer layer (above freezing) in the ...

Ocean-atmosphere interaction is also an important characteristic of this change. Ocean currents, sea surface temperature, and hurricane formation all rely on the variability of wind regimes.
