Earth's complex systems interact between atmospheric, terrestrial, hydrological, cryological (ice and snow) and biological processes in feedback loops. Understanding their relationships is important for modeling their future ...
Researchers led by Prof. Zhang Weijun from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have achieved the first in-situ measurement of the vertical profile aerosol single scattering albedo (SSA). ...
While the night sky, with its display of "northern lights" or auroras, has captivated the attention of scientists and sky gazers for centuries, much less is known about the aurora associated with carbon dioxide until now.
The evolution of Earth's climate contains many components. And new research has shown just how critical the ozone layer is to the surface temperature of the Earth. Without an ozone layer, our planet would be 3.5 Kelvin cooler.
An international team led by Stefan Pelletier, a Ph.D. student at Université de Montréal's Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets have made a detailed study of the extremely hot giant exoplanet WASP-76 b.
Virgin Galactic, the space tourism company founded in 2004 by Richard Branson, promotes its flights as offering "a brand new perspective: Deepen your connection to Earth and to humanity with the transformational experience ...
Some very special cows are walking around the stables in Foulum, a little city outside Viborg in Denmark. The cows have been implanted with a so-called fistula. This is a kind of window leading directly into the stomach of ...
Climate scientists at Rice University have discovered an "internally generated periodicity"—a natural cycle that repeats every 150 days—in the north-south oscillation of atmospheric pressure patterns that drive the movement ...
According to a new study published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, the ozone isn't healing as quickly as expected, leading to higher levels of surface ultraviolet (UV) radiation in recent years.
Methyl chloride (CH3Cl) is one of the most common chlorine-based gases in Earth's atmosphere. Along with related chemicals, it depletes the ozone layer, exposing life on the planet to more of the sun's ultraviolet radiation. ...
