thermal characteristics (temperature changes), chemical composition, movement, and density. Each of the layers are bounded by "pauses" where the greatest changes in thermal characteristics, chemical ...

When you look at photographs of Earth from space, the planet looks like a blue marble, with patterns of clouds lying on the surface of the marble. It seems as if Earth's atmosphere is incredibly thin, ...

(WRBL) — The Earth has a fascinating atmosphere that contains several unique layers. The Troposphere is the layer that we live in, it starts at the surface but the height often varies to about 9-12 ...

A new climate intervention strategy aims to decrease the amount of water vapor in the stratosphere by injecting it with ice-forming nuclei. The idea is that, by reducing the water content, more heat ...

Researchers have created a dataset of the whole atmosphere, enabling new research to be conducted on previously difficult-to-study regions. Using a new data-assimilation system called JAGUAR-DAS, ...

Scientists have sussed out a new source for the seeds of clouds. When the stratospheric layer of Earth’s atmosphere dips a toe into the underlying troposphere, the resulting chemical mixture becomes a ...
