Rapid Stratospheric Temperature Spikes Over the Arctic When temperatures in the polar stratosphere suddenly climb, climate analysts instantly recognize this as one of the most critical warning signs.

A new study has revealed yet another way that human-induced climate change is affecting the planet. Decades of weather balloon and satellite data has shown that the Earth’s troposphere is expanding, ...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — How many layers do you think there are in our atmosphere? Five! We have five different layers between us and outer space. From the surface up there is the troposphere, the ...

For years the debate about climate change has had a contentious sticking point – satellite measurements of temperatures in the troposphere, the layer of atmosphere where most weather occurs, were ...

The short answer is no, it doesn’t change our temperatures, create storms, or impact rain or snow chances. That’s because our everyday weather happens in the lowest part of the atmosphere, called the ...

A new interpretation for temperature data from satellites, published earlier this year, raised controversy when its authors claimed it eliminated doubt that, on average, the lower atmosphere is ...

Vertical, convective, thermal energy transport is examined outside the box of microscale turbulent dispersion or unstable air ...

Temperature inversions are atmospheric phenomena where temperature increases with increasing altitude, creating extreme stability that inhibits vertical mixing. They are commonly formed nocturnally ...
