Researchers challenge our assumptions on the effects of planetary rotation

Scientists at Naval Postgraduate School discovered Coriolis effect influences even small ocean disturbances with high Rossby numbers, challenging fundamental fluid dynamics theories. The study found that planetary rotation determines the evolution of eddies in wakes as small as 10 meters.

AGU journal highlights -- Oct. 5, 2010

Scientists are struggling to explain the recent increase in Antarctic sea ice extent, with a new study suggesting that ozone depletion is not the primary cause. Meanwhile, researchers have also gained new insights into lunar topography using high-resolution data from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter. Additionally, a study on Earth's r...

Stay south of thunderstorm paths, says Purdue scientist

A Purdue University earth scientist has discovered that damaging winds within thunderstorms can form on the north side of a storm's path, rather than at its apex. This finding could lead to more accurate storm warnings and improved public safety.
