Variations in the amount of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere significantly altered global climate throughout the planet's history. Efforts to reconstruct past climates must include this previously ...

Variations in high-altitude wind patterns expose particular parts of Europe, Asia and the US to different extreme weather conditions, a new study has shown. Changes to air flow patterns around the ...

Could an exoplanet’s that is tidally locked to its parent star exhibit differences in atmospheric behavior at the boundary of its permanent dayside and permanent nightside, also known as the ...

Ozone flying high? A new analysis of data from the MOZAIC project indicates ozone levels in aircraft cabins may be higher than regulatory limits if ozone converters are absent or ineffective.

Large seasonal variation in the rate of change in girth of tropical rain-forest tree species has been described, but its origin is still under debate. We tested whether this variation might be related ...

For over two centuries, meteorologists were puzzled by the observation that atmospheric pressure in the tropics peaks at 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. nearly every day. In the late 1960s, a theory was proposed ...

Millions were left without power across Europe, primarily in Spain. Induced atmospheric vibrations, caused by rapid temperature or wind speed changes, can impact power lines anywhere, including the ...
