Laser triggers electrical activity in thunderstorm for the first time
A team of European scientists has deliberately triggered electrical activity in thunderclouds for the first time, according to a new paper in the latest issue of Optics Express, the Optical Society's (OSA) open-access journal. They did this by aiming high-power pulses of laser light into a... view more (2008-04-14)
RAS PN 02/25 Second Generation Weather Satellite Set For Launch
Recent floods in the UK and across much of Europe seem to support suggestions that our planet's weather is becoming increasingly extreme and unpredictable. Certainly, there could hardly be a better time for the launch of a new, state-of-the-art weather satellite. The first in a series of Meteosat... view more (2002-08-22)
Flawless launch of a super Meteosat
Almost 25 years after the November 1977 launch of the very first Meteosat, the first representative of the next generation (MSG-1) of European weather satellites has been placed in orbit and is being made ready to lend new dimensions to the monitoring of our planet`s climate. On 28 August at 1945h... view more (2002-08-29)
The Science Of Ball Lightning
A spectacular phenomenon This theme issue of Philosophical Transactions A (a Royal Society journal) deals with the phenomenon of ball lightning, a rarely seen and slow-moving luminous phenomenon usually associated with thunderstorms. A collection of previously unpublished sightings is presented,... view more (2001-12-20)
Method of predicting clear air turbulence could make flights smoother in the future
It comes blasting out of the blue on your airplane flight: sudden bumpiness and sometimes even a violent plummeting. It arrives without warning, and it can be more than frightening, since it causes tens of millions of dollars in injury claims every year. view more (2008-10-01)
NASA Researchers Studying Tropical Cyclones
NASA hurricane researchers are deploying to Costa Rica next month to investigate the birthplace of eastern Pacific tropical cyclones. They will be searching for clues that could lead to a greater understanding and better predictability of one of the world's most significant weather events - the... view more (2005-06-24)
'Electrospray' droplet research yields surprising, practical results
Chemical engineers at Purdue University are the first to mathematically describe precisely how droplets form when liquids are exposed to electric fields, an advance that could have applications in areas ranging from manufacturing to medical diagnostics. view more (2008-01-08)
Cassini's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer detects vast polar ethane cloud on Titan
Cassini's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) has detected what appears to be a massive ethane cloud surrounding Titan's north pole. The cloud might be snowing ethane snowflakes into methane lakes below. view more (2006-09-15)
