Atmospheres of giant planets are dominated by complex interactions between internal heat, solar radiation and rapid rotation, giving rise to banded wind systems, vortices and wave phenomena. Zonal ...

A new study details processes that keep pollutants aloft despite a drop in emissions. Nitrates in the atmosphere reduce air quality and play an important role in climate change. An international team ...

The atmospheric energy cycle describes how solar heating, radiative cooling and surface fluxes generate and redistribute energy through the atmosphere. Solar radiation at low latitudes creates ...

A team of researchers at the University of Miami has developed a global atmospheric modeling framework that blends powerful research capabilities with accessibility for students and scientists alike.

New research from Purdue University reveals how moisture influences atmospheric blocking, a phenomenon that often drives heat waves, droughts, cold outbreaks and floods, helping solve a mystery in ...
