With sea traffic set to rise in a warming Arctic, researchers are helping sailors plot a safer course through sea ice and icebergs thanks to more reliable satellite-based forecasts.
Last Monday, March 3, the Bureau of Meteorology warned residents of Queensland and New South Wales that Tropical Cyclone Alfred was coming their way. The storm was expected to hit the coast on Thursday or Friday.
An "erratic" tropical cyclone lingered off Australia's eastern coast on Thursday, bringing drenching rains and record-breaking waves to a heavily populated region rarely hit by typhoons.
An international team of researchers has discovered that previously observed variations in brightness of a free-floating planetary-mass object known as SIMP 0136 must be the result of a complex combination of atmospheric ...
A team of engineers and weather specialists at Nvidia, working with a colleague from Taiwan's Central Weather Administration, has developed a new AI app aimed specifically at generating higher resolution local weather forecasting. ...
In Aug. 2024, a team of NASA researchers and partners gathered in Missoula, to test new drone-based technology for localized forecasting, or micrometeorology. Researchers attached wind sensors to a drone, NASA's Alta X quadcopter, ...
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are improving weather forecasting models so that they better represent air pollution, aerosols, and their effects on fog. Fog reduces visibility, with implications for safety and ...
Weather forecasts help you decide whether to go for a picnic, hang out your washing or ride your bike to work. They also provide warnings for extreme events, and predictions to optimize our power grid.
Extreme weather is becoming more destructive as the world warms, but how can we say that climate change intensified the fires in Los Angeles, typhoons in the Philippines, or flooding in Spain?
Human-caused climate change increased the likelihood and intensity of the hot, dry and windy conditions that fanned the flames of the recent devastating Southern California wildfires, a scientific study found.
