Multiple plans exist to explore Mars in the coming decades using robotic and crewed missions. The ultimate goal of these ...

Watch this fascinating demonstration of air pressure at work. Notice how the egg vibrates as the heated air escapes around it, and how it gets smoothly pushed into the bottle by atmospheric pressure.

Every year, from December to April, the Harmattan sweeps across Africa. This cool, dry and dust-laden wind gets its name from haramata, a word in the Ghanaian language Fanti. More than 100 million ...

Climate change. Air pollution. Emissions. Wild fires. The Atmospheric Science—PhD program provides opportunities to study cloud formation in our cloud chamber facility or to learn the impacts of air ...

Air molecules colliding with a surface cause atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 101,000 Pa (101 kPa) but just 27,000 Pa (27 kPa) at the cruising altitude of a ...

The most direct path to a career in meteorology is an undergraduate program that leads to a bachelor's degree in meteorology or atmospheric science. If you are interested in a career in research, an ...

One long line of powerful winds can whip up dust storms, spread wildfires, spin up tornadoes and fuel blizzards – all at the ...

But now, a team led by Rodney Ruoff at the Institute for Basic Science in Ulsan, South Korea, has shattered this paradigm, growing diamonds at just 1 atmosphere of pressure (sea level pressure ...
