Astrophysicists find fractal image of Sun's 'Storm Season' imprinted on Solar Wind
Plasma astrophysicists at the University of Warwick have found that key information about the Sun's 'storm season' is being broadcast across the solar system in a fractal snapshot imprinted in the solar wind. view more (2007-05-29)
Professor makes sense of chaos
Research by a University of Sunderland psychologist has revealed that one in four people may have a special gift for predicting uncertainties like the weather. Tests carried out by Professor Richard Heath, from the university's Business School, also showed that this uncanny ability could possibly extend to the financial markets. During his... view more...

Models play important role in understanding extreme weather
Weather is a hot topic here in Interior Alaska and a quick way to get anyone talking. Not a day goes by in winter months without some observations of temperatures, air inversions, or even a mention that the sun budged another degree above the horizon. view more (2007-03-29)
Research breakthrough will lead to more accurate weather forecasts
More accurate global weather forecasts and a better understanding of climate change are in prospect thanks to a breakthrough by engineers at Queen's University Belfast's Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology (ECIT). view more (2009-08-07)
NASA & NSF create unprecedented view of upper atmosphere
Scientists from NASA and the National Science Foundation discovered a way to combine ground and space observations to create an unprecedented view of upper atmosphere disturbances during space storms. view more (2005-12-06)
Chasing thundersnow could lead to more accurate forecasts
The job of one University of Missouri researcher could chill to the bone, but his research could make weather predicting more accurate. view more (2009-01-14)
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. view more (1999-08-17)
Beating the radar: Getting a jump on storm prediction
Satellite observation of cloud temperatures may be able to accurately predict severe thunderstorms up to 45 minutes earlier than relying on traditional radar alone. view more (2009-06-18)
"For they sow the WIND..."
Early summer is the season for extreme weather conditions such as violent thunderstorms in central Europe. Studies undertaken by insurance companies indicate that climate change has a dramatic impact on weather conditions. No wonder, then, that home owners, farmers, gardeners and mountain climbers want a fast, up-to-the-minute, reliable... view more... (2002-07-22)
Sometimes dry soils yield more clouds
Symposium of the American Meteorological Society in Wageningen (The Netherlands) Cloud formation does not always follow beaten tracks. The formation of low clouds during nice weather conditions will normally take place above moist soils. Under specific atmospheric conditions, which can occur in Europe, drier soils yield more clouds, according to a... view more... (2002-07-12)
Violent days on the Sun
On Tuesday 23 July 2002 space scientists recorded the largest of four powerful solar flares, all occurring in the space of just eight days. Solar flares are tremendous explosions in the atmosphere of the Sun, with the most powerful class, called the X class, capable of releasing as much energy as a thousand million megatonnes of high explosive.... view more...

Rapid temperature increases above the Antarctic
A new analysis of weather balloon observations from the last 30 years reveals that the Antarctic has the same 'global warming' signature as that seen across the whole Earth, but is three times larger than that observed globally. view more (2006-03-31)
Soil moisture and ocean salinity satellite ready for launch
A new European Earth observation satellite will be launched in the early hours of Monday morning (2 November 2009) from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia. view more (2009-10-30)
NASA Scientists Closer to Timely Space Weather Forecasts
Scientists funded by NASA have made big strides in learning how to forecast "all clear" periods, when severe space weather is unlikely. The forecasts are important because radiation from particles from the sun associated with large solar flares can be hazardous to unprotected astronauts, airplane occupants and satellites. view more (2005-08-18)
Regional warming-induced species shift in NW Mediterranean marine caves
The north-western Mediterranean Sea has a high biodiversity reflecting a mixture of temperate and subtropical species. But this basin already shows signs of large-scale warming. Marine cave communities with endemic and specialised species are particularly at risk since they are naturally fragmented and more sensitive to perturbations. In the... view more... (2003-04-08)
NASA study suggests extreme summer warming in the future
A new study by NASA scientists suggests that greenhouse-gas warming may raise average summer temperatures in the eastern United States nearly 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the 2080s. view more (2007-05-10)
NASA spacecraft show three dimensional anatomy of a solar storm
Twin NASA spacecraft have provided scientists with their first view of the speed, trajectory, and three-dimensional shape of powerful explosions from the sun known as coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. view more (2009-04-15)
Safer navigation means more helicopters saving lives
Helicopter Emergency Services (HEMS) deal with emergency evacuations and inter-hospital transport across Europe. Improved navigation information from EGNOS could mean fewer cancelled flights due to adverse weather. Although most modern helicopters have Instrumental Flight Rules (IFR) capability this is not used because IFR are not adapted to... view more... (2003-04-16)
Ariane 5 and Soyuz to launch two Australian satellites from the Guiana Space Centre
As they announced the signing of the contract by Arianespace for the launch of two Australian satellites, Optus D1 and Optus D2, on Ariane 5 and Soyuz from the Guiana Space Centre, ESA Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain and the Director General of the Federal Space Agency (Russia), Anatoli Perminov, declared themselves very satisfied with the... view more...

Texas A&M prof to predict weather on Mars
Is there such a thing as "weather" on Mars? There are some doubts, considering the planet's atmosphere is only 1 percent as dense as that of the Earth. view more (2009-11-05)
