Billions upon billions of soot particles enter Earth's atmosphere each second, totaling about 5.8 million metric tons a year—posing a climate-warming impact previously estimated at almost one-third ...

The intense storms are becoming more intense.

Earth’s climate has always naturally cycled through change, caused by how much of the sun’s energy was absorbed by the ...

Astronomers have detected over 5,800 confirmed exoplanets. One extreme class is ultra-hot Jupiters, of particular interest because they can provide a unique window into planetary atmospheric dynamics.

The same molecule heating Earth’s surface is freezing the sky above it, and a team of atmospheric physicists has finally pinned down why. In a study published in Nature Geoscience in early 2026, ...

New research reveals the surprising ways atmospheric winds influence ocean eddies, shaping the ocean’s weather patterns in more complex ways than previously believed. Much like the windy weather ...

But a meteorologist's job is not easy. The atmosphere is multilayered, interconnected and complex, and global climate change is making it even harder to forecast both long-term and sudden, extreme ...

In the hottest year on record, the fingerprints of a changing climate in a warming world were all over dozens of extreme weather events. There wouldn’t be weather without heat; heat is energy, and ...

Paris — Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere reached record highs in 2023, the United Nations warned on Monday, saying countries are falling "miles short" of what's needed to curb ...

Astronomers have peered through the atmosphere of a planet beyond the Solar System, mapping its 3D structure for the first time. By combining all four telescope units of the European Southern ...
