Using observations from crowdsourced science and weather location data, researchers concluded that wildfires caused a mass die-off of birds in the western and central United States in 2020.Read More »
Through analyzing radio links signal levels, retrieved surface smoke particulate concentrations can complement limited datasets from air quality stations in improving impacts analyses for wildfires.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Researchers have created thin, levitating disks that could be used to study the mesosphere, a layer of Earth’s atmosphere that’s difficult to reach with conventional flyers.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
New aircraft survey data show that although atmospheric chemistry above remote ocean regions is a considerable source of methanol production, the ocean’s net methanol emission is minor.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Night-shining clouds can be diagnostic tools to better understand how human activity is changing the meteorology of the mesosphere.Read More »Climate Change
Modern climate models were designed to simulate natural systems and changes mainly due to atmospheric carbon dioxide, rather than to predict effects of deliberate climate interventions.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Turbulence causes local variations in relative humidity, which can push particles past a critical saturation threshold for droplet nucleation.Read More »
The fifth major update of land surface air temperature data from the Climatic Research Unit and the Met Office has extended the time series, included more stations, and used better processing methods.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Las variaciones de la presión atmosférica en la cima del Everest afectan a la disponibilidad de oxígeno, modificando la percepción de la elevación de la cumbre unos cientos de metros.Read More »
