Every breath a person takes draws from a gas mixture that has barely shifted in recorded history: roughly 78 percent nitrogen ...

Berkeley — Discovery of the last piece of a long-standing puzzle — what happens to hydrogen gas in the atmosphere — will help scientists assess the impact of additional hydrogen escaping into the ...

Atmospheric scientists show proposed 'geoengineering' effort to remove methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere could worse air quality while providing minimal climate benefits. As the ...

Our planet is enveloped in air, the atmosphere. In fact, we separate it into several specific layers and each one has its own ...

The new National Science Foundation (NSF) UW King Air Atmospheric Research Aircraft sits outside its hangar at the Donald L. Veal Research Flight Center. UW and the Department of Atmospheric Science ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) – Meteorologists classify air masses based on their humidity and temperature. The location of an air mass is a key factor in determining its humidity. Air masses that form over large ...

The Atmospheric River Reconnaissance program joins forces with research programs across the world to improve forecasts of extreme weather events “We know that better measurements of atmospheric rivers ...

This story originally appeared on Yale Environment 360 and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. There is a paradox at the heart of our changing climate. While the blanket of air close to the ...

Researchers have discovered argon trapped in air-hydrate crystals in ice cores, which can be used to reconstruct past temperature changes and climate shifts. On the massive sheets of ice that stretch ...

Australia has always had heat waves. But this week's heat wave in southeastern Australia is something else. Temperatures in some inland towns in South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria were up ...
