Astronomers using Hubble have detected water vapor in the atmosphere of GJ 9827d, a small exoplanet, suggesting the presence of water-rich atmospheres on similar planets.…
This illustration by Benjamin Storer shows oceanic weather systems (mesoscale eddies) from data overlaid with atmospherically driven climate-scale currents (black lines), which can be extracted…
Researchers have discovered that human activity has caused a sevenfold increase in atmospheric mercury since 1500 C.E. Using sulfur dioxide as a proxy for volcanic…
Cornell University astronomers have found that the atmospheric conditions during the dinosaur era on Earth could help us detect signs of life on exoplanets. The…
A veteran astronomer has discovered that Saturn’s vast ring system is heating the planet’s upper atmosphere, a phenomenon never before observed in our solar system.…
The data collected by atmospheric researchers in Innsbruck now indicate that computational shortcuts result in inaccurate outcomes in the presence of high nitrogen monoxide emissions.…
The minimal variation in CO2 levels may indicate that the climate is more responsive to alterations in atmospheric CO2 concentrations than previously thought. The emergence…
The researchers emphasize that their results do not, however, indicate that individuals should no longer pre-heat their vehicles. Recent research from Finland, conducted by the University…
The authors’ findings will make it possible for scientists to evaluate the atmospheres of many other planets efficiently without having to send a space crew…
The TRAPPIST-1 system, where we may soon have more information about the atmospheres of rocky, Earth-like planets from the James Webb Space Telescope. It is…
Scientists have discovered that rocket engine exhaust pollution can significantly increase the concentration of pollutants in the mesosphere for an extended period of time. By…
An entirely new class of super-reactive chemical compounds, trioxides, has been discovered under atmospheric conditions. For the first time, an entirely new class of super-reactive…
Using future projections from the latest generation of Earth System Models, a recent study published in Science Advances found that most of the world’s ocean…
Findings may fill gap for climate change, atmospheric research beyond tropical regions. According to a new study by scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL),…
This artist’s impression shows the planet K2-18b, its host star and an accompanying planet in this system. K2-18b is now the only super-Earth exoplanet known…
