Ongoing climate change in Earth’s middle and upper atmosphere will affect the rapidly expanding space and telecommunications sectors. Maintaining observations of this region is more crucial than ever.Read More »Climate Change
Researchers have found a strong correlation between the number of days with widespread, synchronous fire danger and resource allocation across the western United States. Read More »Biogeosciences
Papers are invited for a new cross-journal special collection on insights in scaling land-atmosphere interactions from field experiments, data analyses, and modeling.Read More »Climate Change
Increased reflection of incoming sunlight by clouds led one current-generation climate model to predict unrealistically cold temperatures during the last ice age.Read More »Biogeosciences
A study of trends in wildfire occurrence over the past 30 years shows that environmental, climatic, and human-related factors can point out regions with high fire probabilities. Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Wildfires create airborne plumes of organic and inorganic matter as they burn. These particles can nucleate cloud-forming ice crystals and affect cloud dynamics, precipitation, and climate.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Observations from the newest geostationary Earth-observing satellites are offering valuable views of fire progression and smoke plume development and helping simulate impacts from large wildfires.Read More »Climate Change
Dew point temperature better explains precipitation change with warming than temperature itself, and the relation is more spatially coherent than previously thought.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
