Recent observations of Jupiter's powerful magnetic field by NASA's Juno spacecraft have uncovered a never-before-documented ...

The summer of flooding and irritant-level tropical threats rolls with this week’s focus on a disorganized disturbance in the northern Gulf.

Tectonic plates are massive slabs of Earth's lithosphere that float atop the semi-fluid mantle, constantly shifting and ...

If those particles sink fast enough, or are flushed deep by winter convection currents, the carbon can remain locked away for centuries. “Without the biological carbon pump, atmospheric CO₂ would be ...

Home > Science Saturn's Moon Titan Glows in Cloud-Bound Webb Images The images are the first to capture the process of cloud convection on Titan, rather than the 'before' and 'after.' ...

For convection to happen, the atmosphere needs to be unstable, with warmer air sitting beneath cooler air. This happens during the daytime hours as the sun heats up the Earth’s surface, which in ...

Convection currents have also been observed by NASA's New Horizons mission on the dwarf planet Pluto, which exhibits polygonal surface features resembling plate boundaries on Earth, according to ...

A rare atmospheric river is hitting a large portion of the Midwestern and Southern U.S. this week, causing significant floods.

Convection cells are everywhere, from our coffee cups, oceans and atmosphere to the Sun’s atmosphere and even the clouds and dust in space. Convection cells can sometimes turn into a different flow ...

The study revealed that convection, similar to that seen on Earth, helps sustain Jupiter’s massive storms, which can be thousands of miles wide and last for years. Role of filaments in Jupiter’s ...

Though convection is the main driver, the fronts account for a quarter of the total kinetic energy powering Jupiter’s cyclones and forty percent of the vertical heat transport. “These cyclones on ...
