Roughed-Up Hillsides Reveal Tree-Toppling Winds

by Carolyn Wilke 7 February 20237 February 2023

Researchers are reading pockmarks in the forest floor to study the uprooting of trees in southern Indiana and estimate how fast winds howled through the forest in the past.

Drones Make Weather Prediction Easier at the Poles

by Andrew Chapman 23 December 202223 December 2022

Researchers measured wind speed with a commercially available drone and a lightweight sensor. The approach could help scientists gather more data from remote environments.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Records the First Sounds of a Dust Devil on Mars

Jon Kelvey, Science Writer by Jon Kelvey 13 December 202227 January 2023

In a stroke of luck, the SuperCam microphone on Perseverance was turned on the moment a dust devil swept directly over the rover.

Linking African Winds to Atlantic Storms

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 7 December 20226 January 2023

Simulations suggest that waves in the atmosphere above northern Africa influence the intensity, timing, and location of formation of Atlantic tropical cyclones.

When Winds and Currents Align, Ocean Mixing Goes Deep

Sarah Derouin, Science Writer by Sarah Derouin 31 October 202217 November 2022

Slantwise convection in the Irminger Sea off Greenland appears to mix ocean water to deeper depths than previously thought, representing an important contribution to Atlantic overturning.

What is the Best Predictor of Landfalling Hurricane Damage?

by Jonathan Zawislak 21 October 202218 October 2022

A new study finds that the minimum sea level pressure, as another measure of hurricane strength, is a better predictor of hurricane damage in the United States than the maximum sustained wind speed.

Ocean Waves Cause Drag Coefficient Asymmetry Within Typhoons

by Lei Zhou 5 October 20224 October 2022

Observations show that, due to ocean waves, the drag coefficients for surface wind stresses have spatial asymmetry within typhoons, which should be considered in weather and climate simulations.
