Ground motion caused by gusts of wind can drown out signals from the smallest earthquakes, potentially confusing earthquake detection algorithms.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Analyses of high-resolution radiosonde balloon measurements have provided a novel climatology of atmospheric turbulence parameters in the troposphere and lower stratosphere.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Flexible definitions of the word “climate” may impede policy discussions on climate change. Closing apparent gaps between “climate” and “weather” may help reduce the ambiguity.Read More »
Since the 1970s, no surface platform had made meteorological measurements of a global dust storm on Mars, but last summer NASA's Curiosity rover witnessed one of these rare events.Read More »Climate Change
A cloud of smoke from 2017 Canadian wildfires was so huge that it self-lofted and stayed in the atmosphere for 8 months. Scientists used it as an example for climate simulations of nuclear warfare.Read More »Mathematical Geophysics
Recent advances in machine learning hold great potential for converting a deluge of data into weather forecasts that are fast, accurate, and detailed.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
An energized air-sea interface facilitates exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean. A new study looks at the formation of sea spray, an important component of this exchange.Read More »
