Japanese scientists have created the first-ever long-term dataset about Earth's entire atmosphere, stretching all the way to space. They hope the project will help shed light on some little-explored ...

This infographic shows the multiple layers of our atmosphere, extending from the ground up into space, and how the new dataset compares in coverage to those currently available. A team led by ...

How will climate change influence the ocean’s circulation in the future? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a researcher from Massachusetts Institute of ...

A new study suggests that a once-daily atmospheric tidal cycle may be a bigger driver of rapid Venusian winds than previously ...

The past few centuries have yielded an abundance of information about Earth's atmosphere, from the weather that manifests in the troposphere and stratosphere to the vast amounts of heat absorbed by ...

The Earth’s atmosphere is host to a diverse spectrum of wave phenomena, among which acoustic-gravity waves occupy a pivotal role. These waves arise from the interplay between compressional (acoustic) ...

The air around you isn't just empty space waiting to be filled. It's a dynamic, ever-shifting system that dictates whether ...

Deep inside Earth, far below the crust and mantle we learn about in school, scientists are mapping strange, continent-sized structures that appear to shape everything from volcanic hotspots to the ...
