If scientists of the 19th century could have used modern tools to study the atmosphere, they might have noticed the early ...

"However, an increased fluorescence backscatter coefficient revealed several other fluorescent aerosol structures throughout the middle and upper troposphere at about 5, 7, 9 and 10 km altitude.

Upper Deck is hoping to combat a growing type of fraud impacting the sports card hobby ...

The systems in play included a western disturbance, which extended as an upper air cyclonic circulation over north Punjab and adjoining Jammu and Kashmir, with a trough aloft in the mid and upper ...

It occurs due to the interaction of sunlight with tiny, hexagon ice crystals suspended in cirrostratus clouds high in the atmosphere, typically in the upper troposphere.

When moisture rises into the upper troposphere, it releases latent heat, which then accelerates and strengthens an updraft, thus creating higher instability in a cloud.

The main focus of the ASCCI (Arctic Springtime Chemistry-Climate Investigations) measurement campaign is on how ozone and water vapor in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere, i.e. at ...

The study, just published in Nature, investigated the formation of new particles from isoprene in the upper troposphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, spanning from ground ...

Isoprene from forests is efficiently transported at night by deep convective clouds into the upper troposphere. During daylight, the isoprene that has accumulated overnight, together with ...

“In the upper troposphere, the ozone trends are less well-monitored but seem to decouple with those near the surface, and ozone is more easily influenced by climate variability. So, we don’t know ...

The upper troposphere, a layer of the atmosphere just beneath the stratosphere where most aircraft fly, is where this gas contributes to global warming. Despite global efforts to curb its sources, the ...

Now, MIT scientists confirm that much of ozone's increase in the upper troposphere is likely due to humans. In a paper appearing today in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, the team ...
