The global food supply would be devastated by nuclear war not only from the direct damage, but through a chain of atmospheric ...

Japanese scientists have created the first-ever long-term dataset about Earth's entire atmosphere, stretching all the way to space.

Now, atmospheric chemists at MIT have found that the smoke from those fires set off chemical reactions in the stratosphere that contributed to the destruction of ozone, which shields the Earth ...

Instead, we only learned that there’s still more to know.” The stratosphere extends from 4 to 12 miles (6 to 20 km) above Earth’s surface to around 31 miles (50 km) up.

To start, the team kicked off the model using the atmospheric conditions present in both the stratosphere and the troposphere on Jan. 4, 2021, the day before the sudden stratospheric warming took ...

The earth’s atmosphere has several layers, what NASA calls “a multi-layered cake. ” We live in the troposphere, which in the U.S. extends about 6 miles above the earth’s surface.

The Japanese researchers used the model to generate 19 years' worth of data encompassing the evolution of the entire atmosphere up to the altitude of 110 kilometers (68.4 miles).

NASA research has shown that increasing water-vapor in the stratosphere, which results partially from greenhouse gases, may delay ozone recovery and increase the rate of climate change. Drew ...

One model, which analyzed the interactions between sea surface temperatures and lower atmosphere, produced a small cooling in the equatorial Pacific during solar maximum years.
