Small, slow-sinking organic particles may play a bigger role than previously thought in the transport of carbon below the surface ocean.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Researchers extend long-term aerosol records to the past 40 years by combining two existing algorithms to process satellite data over both land and sea.Read More »Biogeosciences
Weather stations can be used to calibrate and validate albedo measurements from satellites, but they fail to account for variability across landscapes, overestimating how reflective our planet is.Read More »Climate Change
A new study seeks to bring together the strongest features of proxy data and climate models to reduce uncertainties in reconstructions of past El Niño behavior.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
New computer models capture the movement of the strongest auroral storms as they sweep across Earth at night, challenging scientists’ views of what drives them.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Researchers develop a mathematical method of modeling tabular icebergs, like the one that broke away from an Antarctic ice shelf earlier this year.Read More »
The key to sustainable water resources management isn’t satellite technology yet—it’s a new spin on time-tested rain and stream gauges.Read More »Ocean Sciences
