What can a magnet tell you about rain patterns? More than you would guess
If someone said you can understand rain patterns and the dynamics of the atmosphere by studying magnets and magnetism — and therefore make better predictions of the effects of global warming — would you think he's crazy? Brilliant? view more (2006-06-22)
FSU scientists unveil new seasonal hurricane forecasting model
Scientists at The Florida State University's Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) have developed a new computer model that they hope will predict with unprecedented accuracy how many hurricanes will occur in a given season. view more (2009-07-16)
More large forest fires linked to climate change
Large forest fires have occurred more frequently in the western United States since the mid-1980s as spring temperatures increased, mountain snows melted earlier and summers got hotter, according to new research. view more (2006-07-07)
Final look at ESA's SMOS and Proba-2 satellites
As preparations for the launch of SMOS and Proba-2 continue on schedule, the engineers and technicians at the Russian launch site say goodbye as both satellites are encapsulated within the half-shells of the Rockot fairing. view more (2009-10-22)
Summer-dormant tall fescue grass shows promise for pasture improvements
A pasture improvement research program by Dr. Dariusz Malinowski has him looking at summer-dormant tall fescue grasses as an alternative to winter wheat pastures. view more (2007-11-27)
ESA to select new Earth Explorer missions
An important milestone for ESA's Living Planet Programme is to be reached this spring when it will be decided which of the six candidate Earth Explorer missions are to be selected for development. Before decisions are taken, the user community is invited to express their views at the Earth Explorer User Consultation Meeting which will be held on... view more... (2004-02-05)
NRL's ANDE-2 Launches Aboard STS-127
The Naval Research Laboratory's satellite suite, the Atmospheric Neutral Density Experiment 2 (ANDE-2), launched aboard NASA's Space Shuttle Endeavour on July 15, 2009. view more (2009-07-20)
Network of scientists is driving force in EU air pollution policy
Atmospheric protection is a big challenge for the 21st century. In teaching scientists to design outputs that become the stuff of hard policy, the impact of EUROTRAC-2 is far-reaching. Nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide and aerosols, major contributors to atmospheric pollution, do not respect national borders. But thanks to EUREKA project E! 1489... view more... (2003-12-04)

Gassed by gannets!
This is one of the subjects being investigated in the GANE (Global Atmospheric Nitrogen Enrichment) research initiative funded by NERC. The first meeting of the principal investigators will be on Thursday, 9th March, when they will share information on progress of the various projects that form the initiative. view more (2000-03-08)
Everlasting Fibre-glass Plastic
More durable helmets, vests, ski-sticks and various other fibre-glass plastic products are close to becoming a reality. Provided, of course, the manufacturers apply new technology - the one developed by the Chernogolovka scientists supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative... view more...

Washington Getting a Summertime Air Quality Exam
Summer in the city can often mean sweltering "bad air days" that threaten the health of the elderly, children and those with respiratory problems. This summer the nation's capitol has been no stranger to such severe air-quality alerts. view more (2006-08-07)
Fire and water reveal new archaeological dating method
Scientists at The University of Manchester have developed a new way of dating archaeological objects - using fire and water to unlock their 'internal clocks'. view more (2009-05-20)
Large source of nitrate, a potential water contaminant, found in near-surface desert soils
A UC Riverside-led study in the Mojave Desert, Calif., has found that soils under "desert pavement" have an unusually high concentration of nitrate, a type of salt, close to the surface. Vulnerable to erosion by rain and wind if the desert pavement is disrupted, this vast source of nitrate could contaminate surface and groundwaters,... view more... (2008-03-03)
Global atmospheric carbon level may depend primarily on Southern Ocean
Circulation in the waters near the Antarctic coast may be one of the planet's critical means of regulating levels of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, according to Princeton researchers. view more (2006-06-23)
Scientists to Assess Beijing Olympics Air Pollution Control Efforts
As the Summer Olympics in Beijing kicks off this week, the event is giving scientists a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to observe how the atmosphere responds when a heavily populated region substantially curbs everyday industrial emissions. view more (2008-08-11)
New Evidence Of Impact Of Global Changes On Remote Tropical Rainforests
Scientists have shed new light on the impact of global environmental changes on remote tropical forests with studies that show that the rates of growth and death of trees in pristine forests across the Amazon have accelerated substantially in recent decades. The scientists also demonstrate that the tropical forests globally have warmed by half a... view more... (2004-02-06)
Faster atmospheric warming in subtropics pushes jet streams toward poles
The atmosphere is warming faster in subtropical areas, around 30 degrees north and south latitude, than it is elsewhere, University of Washington-led research shows. view more (2006-05-26)
Fast and cheap forecasting system for Mediterranean cyclones
The Mediterranean region is a very active cyclone area, and is often affected by these atmospheric phenomena, which bring strong winds and heavy rain. view more (2009-05-27)
Many weather factors needed for accurate climate change predictions
Current climate change impact models that consider only one weather variable, such as increasing temperature, sometimes spawn unsubstantiated doomsday predictions, according to researchers at Purdue and North Carolina universities. view more (2006-11-07)
