Atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide are continuing to rise at an accelerating rate, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported.
This month, NASA begins the most extensive field campaign
ever to investigate the chemistry of the Arctic's lower atmosphere.
... Saturn in the infrared are finally paying off, as scientists unearth a wave pattern in Saturn's atmosphere only visible from the Earth every 15 years. A 22-year observing campaign, the longest study ...
... . The result might lead to more accurate estimates of the amount of sunlight penetrating the atmosphere. Because clouds represent one of the largest areas of uncertainty, eventually this could lead to ...
... a way to distinguish just how much of these ancient carbon stores are being lost to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. This means that in the future they may be able to accurately forecast how loss of ...

On Earth, the glow of hydroxyl in the atmosphere has been shown to be closely linked to the abundance of ozone. From this study, the same is ...
... increased greatly over the last 100 years. The transport of these compounds to the oceans, mostly through the atmosphere, have acted to increase the draw-down of CO2 from the atmosphere.

Venus Express has detected the molecule hydroxyl on another planet for the first time. This detection gives scientists an important new tool to unlock the workings of Venus's dense atmosphere...
... the Hubble telescope. Adaptive optics can take the twinkle out of an object caused by turbulence in the atmosphere, but to do this well, the target must be near another bright object that can serve ...

X-rays and ultraviolet radiation from the solar corona affect Earth and its atmosphere. For satellites, this can be a real drag—literally. As Earth’s atmosphere gets hotter, it expands and ...
Eric J. Barron was named director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) today, following a rigorous international search. He joins NCAR from the University of Texas, where he is dean ...
... a new understanding of the mysterious mechanism responsible for heating the outer part of the solar atmosphere, the corona, to million degree temperatures. The corona is made up of loops of hot gas ...
... States and United Kingdom have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate more closely on atmospheric science and technology. The agreement will enable the two countries to increase research ...
... the aircraft through the top of the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, and into the stratosphere. Focusing on the tropopause, the boundary between these two layers, scientists ...
... change will bring an increase in salty surfaces on the Earth and in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. However, this higher CO2 has some positive effects on the physiology of barley plants ...
