In the past decade, fracking has contributed to the deaths of more than a thousand people and the emission of more than a thousand tons of carbon dioxide in the Appalachian Basin.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Gravity waves play a key role in driving upper atmosphere circulations but are poorly understood. New high-resolution simulations are resolving complex wave behaviors with unprecedented detail.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Investigaciones recientes revelan que las emisiones de carbono negro producidas por los incendios en el Amazonas causan que los glaciares en los Andes absorban más radiación solar y se derritan más.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Inhaling particulate matter is hard on human health. New research shows that Southern California’s Santa Ana winds can clear or exacerbate fine-particulate pollution depending on wildfire conditions.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Bacon-Bercey redefined the role of the television meteorologist, blazing trails for African Americans and endowing an AGU scholarship for women studying atmospheric science.Read More »Climate Change
Global temperature responds in the same way to carbon dioxide as it does to methane or aerosol changes if the concept of effective radiative forcing is used to quantify the forcing strength.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Researchers used machine learning to develop a model that can predict lightning strikes to within 30 minutes of their occurrence and within 30 kilometers of a weather station by using just four simple atmospheric measurements.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
As the climate warms across Europe, a rise in severe thunderstorms could bring a dramatic increase in related hazards, including lightning and hailstones.Read More »
