While earlier studies have looked at how atmospheric and oceanic processes drive climate extremes, the Columbia Engineering team has focused on examining and modeling land-atmosphere processes ...
Here’s how it works. The atmospheric reentry process generates extreme heat and mechanical loads, which lead to the satellite's disintegration at the altitude of about 45 miles. (Image credit: ESA) ...
The Earth’s atmosphere is a complex and dynamic envelope comprised primarily of nitrogen and oxygen, with trace gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour and ozone playing outsized ...

Two intertwined atmospheric processes drive the formation of many extreme precipitation events, especially in dry subtropical regions, according to a study published in Weather and Climate ...
Farther north, however, atmospheric rivers will be most influenced by rising temperatures in the ocean and atmosphere. While such differing processes may seem arcane, they will have real-world ...
But their explanation creates another problem that atmospheric scientists will need to solve. A photograph of the blue aurora taken in Noto, Japan in May 2024. (Takuya Usami) ...
Lower atmospheric processes, such as convection, dust storms and gravity waves, are vital to understanding how Mars lost its water, writes Erdal Yiğit in a Perspective. It’s widely thought that ...
Atmospheric Composition, Chemistry and Processes Publication Trend The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Atmospheric Composition, Chemistry and Processes.
Conjure, in your mind's eye, a visual to accompany the word 'aurora'. What you imagine might be dominated by the color green, elaborate swirls and swooshes that dance across the sky above a frozen ...
