NRL sensor observes first light
The Special Sensor Ultraviolet Limb Imager (SSULI) developed by NRL's Spacecraft Engineering Department and Space Science Division, launched October 18, 2009 on the U.S. Air Force Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) F18 (flight 18) satellite, observed first light on December 1, 2009.

UI astronomers capture first-of-kind image at distant star
Two University of Iowa researchers have made the first direct radio image of a stellar coronal loop at a star, other than the sun, thereby providing scientists with information that may lead to a better understanding of how such phenomena as space weather affect the Earth. View More (2010-01-14)
Can scientists look at next year's climate?
Is it possible to make valid climate predictions that go beyond weeks, months, even a year? UCLA atmospheric scientists report they have now made long-term climate forecasts that are among the best ever - predicting climate up to 16 months in advance, nearly twice the length of time previously achieved by climate scientists.

Innovative Satellite System Proves its Worth with Better Weather Forecasts, Climate Data
Preliminary findings from a revolutionary satellite system launched earlier this year show that the system can boost the accuracy of forecasts of hurricane behavior, significantly improve long-range weather forecasts, and monitor climate change with unprecedented accuracy. View More (2006-12-12)
When it rains these days, does it pour?
There's little doubt - among scientists at any rate - that the climate has warmed since people began to release massive amounts greenhouse gases to the atmosphere during the Industrial Revolution. View More (2013-03-18)
Human activities in arid urban environments can affect rainfall and water cycle
In the past half-century, cities have begun to expand in some of the Earth's most arid areas. While scientists have known for some time that the so-called "heat-island" effect of large cities such as Atlanta and Houston can affect their weather, they knew less about this effect and other processes in arid cities, such as Phoenix, which have experienced explosive population growth.

Weather records due to climate change: A game with loaded dice
The past decade has been one of unprecedented weather extremes. Scientists of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in Germany argue that the high incidence of extremes is not merely accidental. View More (2012-03-26)
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)
Managing Future Forests for Water
Forest Service Southern Research Station (SRS) scientists recently used long-term data from the Coweeta Hydrological Laboratory (Coweeta) in Western North Carolina to examine the feasibility of managing forests for water supply under the changing weather conditions forecast for the future.

GPS technology aids earthquake research
Scientists' understanding of the movement of the Earth's crust is being helped by new observing facility which is taking measurements that may one day help predict earthquakes. Newcastle University's School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences has become only one of two UK centres feeding Global Positioning System (GPS) data into the International GPS Service (IGS), which researchers and...

3rd Dutch climate report - Warmer and wetter Netherlands
These are the most important conclusions in the KNMI's (Netherlands national meteorological service) third report about the state of the climate. The KNMI director, Dr H.M. Fijnaut, today presented the report to Ms J.M. de Vries, State Secretary for the Ministry of Transport and Public Works who is responsible for the KNMI. The conclusions are in line with the previous climate report released in... View More (1999-10-01)
Where Have All the Butterflies Gone?
Cold, wet conditions early in the year mean that 2006 is shaping up as the worst year for California's butterflies in almost four decades. View More (2006-05-09)
Racing against the clock to distribute H1N1 flu vaccine
Drug companies are sprinting ahead in a race against the clock to deliver millions of doses of vaccine for the H1N1 influenza virus before cooler weather ushers in the 2009-2010 flu season. View More (2009-10-01)
A Lightning Strike in Africa Helps Take the Pulse of the Sun
Sunspots, which rotate around the sun's surface, tell us a great deal about our own planet. Scientists rely on them, for instance, to measure the sun's rotation or to prepare long-range forecasts of the Earth's health. View More (2009-11-12)
80 percent of world climate data are not computerized
In order to gain a better knowledge of climate variations, such as those caused by global warming, and be able to tackle them, we need to understand what happened in the recent past. View More (2011-07-20)
Cornell researchers warn that Arctic ice melt is setting stage for severe winters
The dramatic melt-off of Arctic sea ice due to climate change is hitting closer to home than millions of Americans might think. View More (2012-06-07)
NASA satellite improves pollution monitoring
NASA scientists improved watershed pollution monitoring models by incorporating satellite and ground-based observations of precipitation. View More (2010-07-26)
New, easy-to-use UGA temperature table may help reduce heat-related deaths of children in closed cars
The heat of summer brings trips to the lake, afternoons at the beach and vacations in the mountains. It also arrives with the threat of dangerous conditions in closed cars, where children left alone for even a few minutes can lead to tragedy. View More (2010-06-30)
Premium info for car drivers
What will the weather be like over the next few hours on the A3 between Nuremberg and Würzburg? Could fog be a problem? A new system will enable automakers to offer their customers additional services - such as weather information or details of vacant parking spaces. View More (2009-09-11)
New software calculates heating costs in greenhouse operations
In parts of the United States where ornamental and vegetable plants are produced in greenhouses during cold seasons, heating costs are second only to labor costs for greenhouse operators. View More (2011-03-18)
