Launch of weather satellite CD-ROM
The CD-ROM has been produced on behalf of the Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites Meteorological Satellites (CGMS). Its production follows nearly 40 years of data from space, helping improve meteorology, monitoring of the climate, the state of the oceans, land surfaces and planetary atmosphere.

Complex meteorology at Venus
In its relentless probing of Venus's atmosphere, ESA's Venus Express keeps revealing new details of the Venusian cloud system. Meteorology at Venus is a complex matter, scientists say. View More (2006-10-16)
University of Oklahoma researchers working to advance predictability research initiatives
Faculty from the University of Oklahoma School of Meteorology are leading the school's predictability research initiatives with multiple projects that could one day lead to more accurate forecasts of weather-related events, including landslides and tornadoes. View More (2011-04-26)
University of Oklahoma Researchers Capture Impressive Tornadic Data and Images Using Most Advanced Weather Radar in United States
At the University of Oklahoma, researchers captured unprecedented high-resolution radar data during the May 10, 2010, tornadoes using one of the most advanced weather radars in the world. View More (2010-05-24)
Advance Warning of Storms and Cyclones with New Technique
The catastrophic flooding in Jakarta in February this year could have been predicted nearly 3 weeks in advance with a new technique being developed by Dr Matt Wheeler and colleagues at the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre in Australia. The flooding was caused by large waves of air and clouds, so called Madden-Julian Oscillations (MJOs). Using satellite data Dr Wheeler and co-workers are... View More (2002-06-02)
NRL scientists detect 'milky sea' phenomena
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory's Marine Meteorology Division in Monterey, CA, (NRL-Monterey), working with researchers from Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute and the National Geophysical Data Center, presented the first satellite detection of a phenomenon known as the "milky sea."

Ocean satellite launch critical to Australian science
A new earth observing satellite being launched in California today will help guide future Australian ocean and climate science. View More (2008-06-23)
New insight into climate change in the Pacific
New research providing critical information about how climate change is affecting Australia's Pacific island neighbours and East Timor has been released today by the Australian Government's Pacific Climate Change Science Program (PCCSP). View More (2011-11-29)
Researchers Study Pesticide Pathways into the Atmosphere
When soil moisture levels increase, pesticide losses to the atmosphere through volatilization also rise. In one long-term field study, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists found that herbicide volatilization consistently resulted in herbicide losses that exceed losses from field runoff.

Wind tunnel tests could lead to healthier towns and cities
It's hardly an appealing thought but the overpowering fragrance of mothballs in a large wind tunnel could provide the key to improving air quality in our towns and cities. The tests will improve our understanding of how pollution and heat behave at street level so that more effective ventilation methods can be developed. The research will be carried out by scientists at the University of Reading... View More (2003-12-16)
Scientists expect wildfires to increase as climate warms in the coming decades
As the climate warms in the coming decades, atmospheric scientists at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and their colleagues expect that the frequency of wildfires will increase in many regions. View More (2009-07-29)
Flights reveal intriguing information about ice particles in clouds
In the clouds above Darwin, Australia, pilots guided by a team of international climate scientists are now one week into a series of carefully orchestrated flights to obtain key in situ data about tropical clouds. View More (2006-02-06)
Sea level rise alters bay's salinity
While global-warming-induced coastal flooding moves populations inland, the changes in sea level will affect the salinity of estuaries, which influences aquatic life, fishing and recreation. View More (2008-11-21)
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)
Satellite visualization tool for high-res observation accessible from anywhere with internet access
A paper published in the February issue of Computers & Geosciences, describes a case study in which an earth-observing satellite tool, the Tool for High-Resolution Observation Review (THOR), using minimal coding effort, is converted into a practical web-based application, THOR-Online.

Ozone masks plants volatiles, plant eating insects confused
Increases in ground-level ozone, especially in rural areas, may interfere not only with predator insects finding host plants, but also with pollinators finding flowers, according to researchers from Penn State and the University of Virginia. View More (2013-04-03)
EUMETSAT Hosts Pan-European Young Meteorologist's Competition
EUMETSAT will celebrate the launch of Meteosat-9, by sponsoring a Young Meteorologist's Competition promoting meteorology and the many uses of weather satellite data to school students and teachers. EUMETSAT is launching an Internet-based pan-European school competition for 15 and 16 year olds aimed at identifying Europe's most talented and diligent "Young Satellite Meteorologists."

Amazon Basin sediment accumulation influenced by La Ni'±a
Enormous quantities of sediment are deposited in the flood-plains traversed by the Amazon and its tributaries in times of flooding. Scientists have hitherto considered the sedimentation rate to be generally constant with time. Research conducted jointly by the IRD, the Universities of Washington1 and California2 and the Bolivian National Meteorology and Hydrology Service (SENAMHI) of La Paz, on... View More (2003-11-21)
