So what exactly is a heat dome, and why does it last so long? And what gives with all the extra moisture?

In fact, Jupiter's atmosphere has dramatic weather and structures which scientists are still learning about — including a prevalence of strange objects called mushballs.

In a paper published in Geophysical Research Letters, researchers from Kyushu University report on the activity of sporadic E layers -- about 90-120 km above sea level -- during the Mother's Day ...

Researchers report on ionospheric sporadic E layer (Es) activity during the Mother’s Day geomagnetic storm. The team found that the Es layers were significantly enhanced over Southeast Asia ...

The thousands of satellites operated by companies from Starlink to Telesat will eventually burn up in the atmosphere when they reach their useful end of life. Scientists are sounding the alarm ...

Scientists Strive to Explain the Strange Weather on Other Planets What the swirling storms on alien worlds can tell us about the climate on Earth.

Two of the goals of that program are to generate a detailed wiring diagram for the complete mouse brain, and to map long-distance connections between different areas of the human brain.

Despite the success of the Montreal protocol, the ozone layer is not expected to fully recover until 2066, meaning it will take an 80-year effort to restore what was harmed in just a few decades.

The layers of the atmosphere shown to scale and a discussion of what happens at each layer. The layers in order from the ground up: Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and the ...

WASP-121b’s bottom layer was characterised by the presence of iron – a metal in gaseous form because of the incredible heat of the atmosphere.

The atmosphere of a distant world has been mapped in detail for the first time, revealing a strange, topsy-turvy weather system, with the fastest winds ever seen inexplicably blowing around the ...

The atmosphere of Tylos is divided into three layers, with iron winds at the bottom, followed by a very fast jet stream of sodium, and finally an upper layer of hydrogen winds.
